Video recording from the Provost Presents Faculty Research Series co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and CSUSB Libraries

Discussing his new book Improving Equity through Fiscal Policy: Dashed Dreams. He will examine how public budgeting and finance policies have shaped equity in the United States. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, he will explore how taxation, public choice, and political economics have influenced resource allocation decisions – often to the detriment of Black Americans and other historically underserved communities. By tracing the development of U.S. fiscal policy through an equity-centered lens, Fudge will challenge participants to reconsider how modern public budgeting can either perpetuate disparities or serve as a powerful tool for advancing justice and opportunity.
