Although many popular magazines focus on how to increase economic output, there are far fewer addressing policies affecting the distribution of that output, according to center Director David Grusky. In the introduction to the first issue of Pathways, senior editors Grusky and Chris Wimer write that the magazine is "dedicated to the proposition that there are important policy decisions to be made about the distribution of output, even if we sometimes refuse to see them. As with policymaking on total economic output, there are paths taken and paths not taken, and our job is to foster a discussion of those choices." see Stanford website - full article Sociology Department Site by Wired Moon
