James Hohman, director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. Whitmer for president? As a Michigan taxpayer, here's why voters should stay away.

Le concept de « fenêtre d'Overton » a été introduit pour la première fois par Joseph Overton, ancien vice-président senior du Mackinac Center for Public Policy, dans les années 1990. Après sa mort prématurée dans un accident d'avion en 2003, son collègue Joseph Lehman a formalisé et nommé l'idée dans une présentation visant à sensibiliser les autres membres du groupe de réflexion au pouvoir d'un plaidoyer cohérent et persistant. Depuis, cette idée s'est répandue dans la langage courant, mais est-elle réellement comprise ? La Fenêtre d'Overton est un modèle permettant de comprendre l'évolution des idées dans la société et leur influence sur la politique.  Sources Joseph G.
