California: Collective bargaining the target of new initiative
A rather quixotic visiting economics professor at UC Santa Barbara has submitted three initiatives for the California ballotthat are sure to enrage. Lanny Ebenstein, who got his Ph.D. at the London School of Economics and Political Science (his dissertation was The Greatest Happiness Principle: An Examination of Utilitarianism,according to his CV), heads up the California Center for Public Policy which is behind the initiatives. It’s a rather right-leaning organization that has its own ideas on how to reform public employee compensation.
