Is disarmament more important than global warming or international trade? Is inflation more important than unemployment or the budget deficit? The important questions must be detailed along general rather than substantial lines. I take the important questions to be the three most general questions for any rational actor: (1) How is the situation, (2) How ought it to be, and (3) What should be done? These questions are important in that they are always there implicitly or explicitly whenever there is decision-making and whatever the substantive issue.

This kind of research is common practice in all developed democracies. What People Need. Policymakers also operate in a more technocrat way and try to grasp what people really need.
