WayPoint Issue Papers

WayPoint Issue Papers are produced by Potomac Institute for Policy Studies staff, as a series intended to frame important issues of our day, and to stimulate informed debate. Just as the navigator sets course on his journey by availing, generating, and sharing imperfect way points, the Institute offers these occasional papers in its chartered attempt to shepherd rigorous dialog, and as a contribution—to help guide our democracy's journey. The ideas presented are those of the authors; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies.
