As any advanced student of public policy knows, an understanding of economics is key to being able to fully understand the opportunities and constraints of potential policy initiatives. During the St. Albans School of Public Service 2017 session, SPS faculty member Mr. Ted Eagles works in a series of small seminars with our future policy-makers to give them a grounding in the economics of public policy. And it's not just about this summer -- many an SPS alumnus who has gone on to study economics in college has credited Mr. Eagles for sparking their interest in the discipline.
