I want to know the answer to the following question:
There was a marked trend towards what type of approach to political issues?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Much academic debate regarded one or both of two pragmatic topics: how (or whether) to apply utilitarianism to problems of political policy, or how (or whether) to apply economic models (such as rational choice theory) to political issues.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
