ECONOMICS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN POLITICS
ATHENS—Georgia’s state po
licies, as well as those of the
49 other states, are shaped not
by politics but by economics,
according to Dr. Thomas R. Dye,
head of the University of Geor
gia’s political science depart
ment, who has just published a
book on the subject.
Basing his findings on exten
sive data, he argues that whet
her a state Is Democratic or
Republican, whether It is one
or two-party, or whether Its
legislature is well-apportioned
or malapportioned does not af
fect state programs nearly as
much as economic forces.
