We often hear political debate described in terms of Left and Right, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican. John Hood makes the argument in the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio that a more useful dichotomy involves “welfare politics” versus “investor politics.”
Speaking of politics, you’ll hear N.C. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, and Becki Gray offer competing assessments of the 2008 legislative session, and Rep. Dale Folwell, R-Forsyth, will share his long-term concerns about the latest state budget. You’ll also hear from Gibbs Knotts and Christopher Cooper, Western Carolina University professors who have edited the new book, The New Politics of North Carolina.
Plus Terry Stoops will offer his critique of a recent trend in public education: increasing reliance on academic “coaches.”
