I teach economics, and I use the ACS regularly. Every semester I have students use the ACS. The ACS is a public good, so the private market won't provide it.REPORT COMMENTS

The ACS is essential for innumerable social science research projects. Without it, social scientists who explore the roots and causes of social problems will be left blind. Please don't allow pseudo-constitutionalists to torpedo a traditional of critical social inquiry that has been at the heart of the American experiment since its founding.REPORT COMMENTS
