The worst thing you can do is nothing." — Teddy Roosevelt    Steven M Smallpage Your name: Your email: Recipient's name: Recipient's email: Message: To prevent spam, please enter the first letter of the recipient's email and the first letter of the recipient's name in the box below (for example, if the name is "John Doe" and the email is "bigjohn@johndoe.com", you would enter "jb"): School: American University Member of: Center on Economic & Social Policy Center on International Relations Policy interests: Economic policy, Government reform, Human rights, International development, Labor and workers' rights, Political strategy, Poverty and social justice, Religion, Social policy, Urban policy Born in St. Paul Minnesota at the turn of an American Political Revolution in 1986, Steven is a child with  revolution pulsing through his veins. He is a  student at the American University in Washington DC where he is following his own designed major, tentatively titled The Dynamics of Social Physics: The Science of the Forms of State. His main focus is that on State theory, the political philosophy of the State. He cares very little about the applications of doctrines simply because he finds the theories to be more interesting in their vivid claims of man and the future. He plans on continuing on to graduate school in getting a PhD in either Political Philosophy or Social Theory. He would ideally wish to return to the University of Cambridge for his graduate years, working under renowned historian Quentin Skinner. His interests in the Roosevelt Institution lie in philosophical consistency and normative evaluation of proposed policies. On a side note, Steven is very much an enemy to Libertarianism, as he sees it as a pseudo-political philosophy not having any merit aside from its capitalist apologetic nature. It is a disgrace to the philosophy of politics and writers like Ayn Rand should be criminally tried for damning society with their lies.   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
