28. By tooling I mean encouraging certain actions
another example is a tax CREDIT for some of the purchase price of a hybrid car.

Getting people to do something through the tax mechanism. It should be helpful but quite often the tools that are included do more harm than good-given which side you are on politically.

I don't really mean "social engineering" but that phrase is the one they have worked into the modern lexicon of course ignoring the engineering they do as well.
