How Governments Subvert Public Interest | Mark Zupan | TEDxPittsfordMendonHighSchool

President Zupan of Alfred University gives the talk, “How governments subvert public interest.” Given his experience as the former dean of the University of Rochester Simon School and as the professor of Economics & Public Policy, he details how and why trust in the U.S. government is steadily decreasing. He compares the transparency of democracies and autocracies (which was surprisingly similar) and connects governmental activity to economic graphs. Mark Zupan is the 14th president of Alfred University. He took office on July 1, 2016. Zupan came to Alfred University from the Simon Business School at the University of Rochester where he was the Olin Professor of Economics and Public Policy as well as the director of the Bradley Policy Research Center. Prior to that, he served two terms as dean of both the Simon School and the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. He has also been an associate dean of masters programs and faculty member at USC’s Marshall School of Business, a visiting faculty member at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, and a visiting scholar at the Cato Institute. Zupan earned a B.A. in economics from Harvard (1981) and a Ph.D. in economics from MIT (1987). While a graduate student at MIT, Zupan won Harvard University’s Allyn Young Teaching Prize in Economics (1983 and 1984) as well as the campus-wide Joseph R. Levenson Memorial Teaching Prize (1985). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
