Lost Einsteins & Katherines

The Thomas R. Brown Foundation seeks to advance the use of economic principles in public and private decision making through strategic partnerships and educational programs. Our program goal is to equip teachers to increase student exposure to fundamental principles of economics in a neutral and nonpartisan way, and to help students develop an appreciation of how economic analysis applies to everyday choices as well as business and policy issues.

<p>Innovation is a key source of economic growth. Research conducted by Dr. Lisa Cook of Michigan State University suggests that patent laws and strong science education programs are insufficient to maximize the generation and commercialization of new ideas. Her analysis of historical data, particularly patent applications from 1870-1940, indicates that racial violence and lack of equal protection under the law impede innovation, and thus, economic development. Dr. Cook’s presentation, hosted by the UA Office of Economic Education, will provide history and economics educators with valuable insights to incorporate in classroom instruction.</p><p></p>
