Stop Investing in Stadiums…Start Investing in Kids
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has posted a fantastic interview with Art Rolnick, an economist and former research director at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. He talk about how he came to write a report with Rob Grunewald about economics of early childhood education. In 2003, Rolnick and colleague Grunewald wrote a policy proposal that advocates providing high-quality early childhood education to at-risk children. That effort has grown into a pilot program supported by the Minnesota Early Learning Foundation. Today, he is a Senior fellow at the Humphrey Institute in Minnesota.
