Series Overview:
During each election cycle, candidates present their proposed policies for future implementation. To give you a deeper understanding of how many of these policies intersect with the lives of everyday Americans, Wharton is introducing a new series: Policies That Work. Moderated by Wharton faculty and delivered both in person and via livestream, the series will leverage Wharton’s expertise to analyze current U.S. policies with a nexus to business and the economy to offer insights on recent outcomes and explore opportunities for improvement — all while explaining the impact these policies have on business and society.
