Public Policy

Public Policy Goals:

Equity: Treating likes alike (who is not?) who is out?
Liberty: ability to do as you wish as long as you do not harm to others
Security: satisfaction of minimum human needs
Efficiency: getting the most output for given input

Is equity always fair? NO

Equity: Horizontal and Vertical

Liberty: What harms to individuals should trigger restraints on liberty?
What harms to communities, organizations, groups should trigger restraints on liberty?
Whose liberty should be curtailed, and by how much, and for how long?

Security: Some dimensions of need
- protecting one's whole identity vs. simple survival
-Measured according to an absolute standard or relative one, comparing one with another
- Meet immediate needs only, or enable people to fulfill broader needs
