11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Admission: $10

Please join American Experiment and economist John Phelan in Albert Lea for a conversation on how state policy can determine who comes out ahead.

Can we look at the states as “laboratories of democracy,” as Louis Brandeis famously called them, in order to pursue better policy? In his research, John does this by comparing the economic performances of neighboring counties on either side of the Minnesota border. At this event, John will share his findings on Minnesota and Iowa, and discuss the insight it gives us into the economic impacts of state policies.

Lunch will be served and doors will open at 11:30. Presentation will begin at noon.

Your ticket includes lunch, a FREE American Experiment wine glass, a copy of John’s just-released report, and a subscription to our Thinking Minnesota magazine.
