Gen Y and Gen Z Play the National Budget Game

摘要

In 2008, the Wilson Center and American Public Media launched an on-line game called Budget Hero, which allowed players to set goals and manipulate dozens of policies tied to data from the independent Congressional Budget Office. The game was finally retired in 2013 and its successor, Fiscal Ship (fiscal-ship.org) was developed by the Wilson Center and the Hutchins Center for Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution and launched on Capitol Hill last year.
