WHEN IT COMES TO DISCRIMINATION, GOVERNMENT IS OFTEN quick to act—for better or for worse. In some instances, government acts to end what it perceives as discrimination against women, minorities, people with alternate lifestyles, and others.
However, in other instances, government itself engages in discrimination, such as when state universities discriminate against students with low test scores, when government programs offer job training for people in some industries but not others, or when the law mandates that members of certain groups be hired before members of other groups.
This section of the book is comprised of four journal articles, three of which are co-authored. As will be seen, in all cases, the free market will provide justice.
