Book Description

At the beginning of the 21st century an idealized view of markets informs government policy. Real differences in how markets interact with social change are obscured and public action on poverty is constrained. This book uses a detailed study of the grain trade in Bangladesh to show how socially-constrained patterns of market involvement may systematically benefit the rich while disadvantaging the poor. The book suggests that markets are implicated in the making of society, its division, identities, and directions.

Book Description

With one party controlling the presidency and the opposing party controlling Congress, the veto has inevitably become a critical tool of presidential power. Combining sophisticated game theory with unprecedented data, this book analyzes how divided party presidents use threats and vetoes to wrest policy concessions from a hostile Congress. Case studies of the most important vetoes in recent history add texture to the analysis, detailing how President Clinton altered the course of Newt Gingrich's Republican Revolution. Offering the first book-length analysis to bring rational choice theory to bear on the presidency, Veto Bargaining is a major contribution to our understanding of American politics in an age of divided party government.

No Kidding!.......2001-03-22

The book review does not lie when it calls this book a major contribution. To political scientists interested in formal theory, the presidency, executive-legislative relations, or divided government, this book is one of the best to come along in years. Especially in presidential studies, this book is probably the best to come along since Light's "President's Agenda," and perhaps the best since 1960 and Neustadt's "Presidential Power." For formal theory people, this book is an exemplar of how good, rigorous theory and careful, skilled empirical analysis can work together to produce both a well-reasoned and well-supported picture of the veto and its affect on policy. For those who abhor formal theory, the rich case studies are informative reading, too. Overall, this book is what political science should be about.

Book Description

Why do so many smart, career-oriented, even ardently feminist women end up with nearly sole responsibility for running their households and raising their children? Why does it happen even in couples who had promised to share that work equally?

Kidding Ourselves traces the decisions that women and men make -- usually unwittingly -- before and after marriage, and especially after the birth of a child, that lead inevitably to an old-fashioned division of labor at home. It also explains why change is necessary. As long as nearly all men devote themselves first and foremost to paying work, they will on average out-earn women, who reduce their hours and travel in their paying job once they have a child. With this groundbreaking book, Rhona Mahony suggests practical ways to bring men into child raising and end the unfair burden of women's second shift.

Practical, not depressing.......2007-02-23

I was really surprised that I hadn't heard of this book before now, considering that it is cited by a number of other popular books on working and motherhood (such as Flux, The Price of Motherhood, Sylvia Ann Hewlett's book, Linda Hirshman's controversial book Get To Work). However, it is a relatively academic, smart book that relies on thinking and research to argue its case, rather than solely on anecdotes. The anecdotes/composites serve to illustrate the argument rather than advance it.

Mahony covers negotiating with your husband over childcare and housework. She gives advice on how to strengthen your position, but much of those actions must take place long before you have a child. They center around setting yourself up with a lucrative career (so taking plenty of math in high school, majoring in something like engineering, economics, etc. in college). For those of you who didn't take this path, she does offer ways to strengthen your position (like taking training courses to make yourself more employable, etc.), and she also offers ways to approach the situation that are likely to be persuasive.

She also offers a discussion of how society needs to change to make a more equal distribution of domestic labor possible on a wide scale. Some of these suggestions may be merely theoretical, such as women marrying men who make less money/have less education, something Mahony admits she didn't do, as she married laterally. Marrying down seems to be less important than marrying someone who ascribes to notions of fairness and equality. However, her suggestions are still worth thinking about. By far the suggestion that would have the most impact for all women is the notion that society needs to change the way it values domestic work. Hey, it could happen, although maybe one couple at a time.

Very informative, with good advice.......2001-11-08

It's too bad that this book is out of print and
(to judge by the few reviews) apparently not widely-read.
It provides what are perhaps the first and only
published guidelines for working toward economic and
political parity in marriages where there is a
part-time or full-time stay-at-home mom. Buy this
book first, before you read all the other books
on transitioning fronm workplace to home.

A MUST for young women planning work and a family.......2000-05-02

This book is an excellent combination of empirical research, helpful anecdotes, and forward thinking. I wish that I had read this book at the start of my career. Perhaps I would have made the same decisions, which were largely based on emotions and "good faith." But reading this book would have provided a healthy dose of rationality as well as helpful warning signs to watch out for when facing the challenges of balancing career and family life.

The thinking woman's baby shower gift.......1999-09-21

This is a stellar book and will especially resonate with women who have studied economics, law or negotiation. Mahony uses common frameworks (for instance, BATNA - best alternative to no agreement) to analyze the day to day choices parents make. She comes up with some powerful suggestions for change. Don't "marry up" if you want a career, marry someone who will not make as many professional demands on your family life -- maybe someone who makes less money. There's a radical idea for most professional women. Buy this for your feminist MBA friends.

Good book to make you think - whether you agree or not.......1997-11-15

This starts a dialogue on some of the issues facing dual earner couples. Clearly geared toward the 35-45 year old crowd. Younger women may feel alienated by some of the assumptions that she makes. A great place to start looking at some of the issues yourself, whether or not you agree with her final analysis.

An Example of Camouflage for State Corporatism.......2006-08-01

Emerson Schmidt first had this book published in 1973 by Nash Publishing in Los Angeles, California as a publication of The Principles of Freedom Committee - an early "think tank" devoted to blurring the distinction between market entitites and state-created corporations with the hidden aim to provide free market camouflage to anti-free market corporations. The problem is government AND their offspring - the corporation. But freedom remains in jeopardy because unwitting wordpushers such as Schmidt present a misleading false dichotomy betwee the State and corporations - both are the same statist stuff and both are positioned against the true free marketeer - the sole proprietor and partnerships.

This book, then, is no more than a classic example of camouflage for state corporatism.

While individuals suffer under corporate statism, they're only avenue to achieve voice is by coming together because there is strength in numbers. Unions have afforded the working classes the voice in negotiations with the State and their corporations that has resulted in improved working conditions and wages to sustain a family.

But books like this one hide the fact that since Junior Bush took office, the minimum wage has stayed the same while CEO compensation has risen 175%! In 2000, there were only 500 billionaries globally, 300 of which lived here in America. Today there are 800 - an increase of 300 billionaires. Where did that money come from? From the working classes whose union wages are evaporating along with their unions.

Schmidt would have us believe that "We are all made poorer by the power of labor unions". Balderdash! It is the corporation and the State that is making us poorer - especially they're partnering with Communist China in order to rent slave labor from them. Jobs once performed by free workers in American are now done by slaves in China.

So how does Schmidt organize his camouflage for corporatism and attack on labor unions? He does so through 14 chapters: Chapter 1) What is the Labor Problem?; Chapter 2) Union Aim: Take Labor Out of Competition; Chapter 3) Importance of Labor Cost; Chapter 4) The Wage-Lag Myth; Chapter 5) Annual Wage Increases versus Other Incomes; Chapter 6) Union Powers Created by Great Depression Legislation; Chapter 7) Union Power: The 1971 Record; Chapter 8) Monetary and Fiscal Policies versus The Wage Push; Chapter 9) The Role of Violence in Collectivce Bargaining; Chapter 10) Government Aid to Strikers; Chapter 11) Minimum Wage Rigidities; Chapter 12) Can Collective Bargaining Advance Justice and Equity?; Chapter 13) Theory X versus Theory Y; and Chapter 14) Toward a New Policy on Union Monopoly and Wage Settlements. This is followed by an index but no bibliography. However, sources are cited at the bottom of the page on which they are used. Mostly these sources are conservative such as Clarence Carson, John Van Sickle, Lemeul Boulware, and Joseph Schumpeter.

These conservative writers have yet to realize that in a free market, there are no corporations. Corporations are creations of the State. They do free enterprise a disservice by camouflaging the anti-capitialist corporation with the rhetoric of free enterprise. Until they figure out the difference, working class individuals should continue to organize through union membership and negotiate with the anti-capitalist corporation through union negotiations. Our government-generated competitive business cycle is doing corporate statism, not free enterprise. But don't take my word for it - read conservative economist's Paul H. Weaver's shocking participant observation of corporate statism - "The Suicidal Corporation" (1988) available here at Amazon.

Book Description

During the Industrial Revolution, class was defined largely through the structuring of market relations. Integrating aspects of economic and social history as well as industrial sociology, this book examines the sources of the perception of the market on the part of both capital and labor and the elaboration of their alternative market ideologies. Of particular import is the argument that working class culture expressed a fundamental acceptance of the utility of the market, a point that is supported by a detailed analysis of the labor process, workplace bargaining and early nineteenth century trade unionism. Nonetheless, the working class's definition of "proper" market relations differed substantially from that of capitalists.

Description:
It is shown that, in the absence of transaction costs and in line with the Coase Theorem, the going concern decision is efficient in the sense that bias arising from either Type I or II errors is not expected. However, when transaction costs in the form of legal costs, are introduced, bias is expected. The direction of the error depends upon the auditor's relative bargaining power. It is also shown that its relative bargaining power provides an incentive for the client company to mislead. Finally, certain empirical observations pertinent to this analysis are discussed together with the regulatory implications.
