Government’s 50 Greatest Endeavors: An Opinion Survey for the Brookings Institution: “…a project on
what the federal government tried to do and what it achieved. The project began
with a cataloging of major laws passed since World War II, followed by the
grouping of these statutes by their objective, and the selection of the top 50
endeavors for a national survey of historians and political scientists. The survey
results identify government’s greatest achievements and failures taking success,
difficulty and importance into account.” When was the last time you believed your government could achieve difficult, important objectives for the good of the country or the world?
