Review: Bringing In The Sheaves By George Grant, Steven Alan Samson

Steven Alan Samson

Evangelical social scientists have typically sought to breathe life into the old social gospel by professing to operate from a biblical basis while remaining dependent on a secular liberalism that had earlier jettisoned any signs of its clerical origins. But despite their concern with “structural injustice,” they have formulated their recommendations in terms of the same unjust and coercive social structures that rob Peter to pay Paul while picking the pockets of both.

National Industrial Policy And The Local Planner, John Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong

John R. Mullin

This article analyzes the debate concerning the problems, approaches, and intent of industrial policy as it relates to the working planner. It begins with a search for a definition. From there the authors set forth a rationale for such a policy and lay out the key characteristics typically proposed by its advocates. The critical dimensions in the debate are then reviewed. Finally, the potential impacts of various policy options upon local planners are discussed.

Prospective Tenants For Business Incubators, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong

John R. Mullin

When planning the development of an incubator, a fundamental question is "Who will be the tenant?" The answer, at least in part, comes from LandUse, Inc. of Hadley, Mass., which has conducted more than 200 in-depth interviews with owners and/or chief executive officers of young manufacturing firms that could be located within the client communities.

Mature Industrial Communities: The Realities Of Reindustrialization, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong

John R. Mullin

This article analyzes the reindustrialization problems facing mature-industry communities in Massachusetts. The findings are based upon our planning consulting work and research projects involving forty cities and towns. The range of these communities includes those which have recovered, are on their way to recovery, and are stable; those which are declining; and those whose status is indeterminate. A variety of factors are reviewed, including unionization; work-force characteristics; the relationship between small and large plants; the characteristics of local companies; location; financing; the availability of land; and the role of local planning. Finally, we present recommendations concerning local action and possible …

Estimating The Value Of Water Quality Improvements In A Recreational Demand Framework, Nancy E. Bockstael, Catherine Kling, W. Michael Hanemann

Catherine Kling

With the advent of Executive Order 12291, policymakers involved in water quality regulation are increasingly interested in assessing the benefits of their programs. Several methods for valuing water quality improvements using recreational demand models have been developed by economists, most of which depend on observing recreationists visiting an array of sites with varying water quality and costs of access. In this paper, three general types of models are described: systems of demands, discrete choice models, and the hedonic travel cost approach; the latter two models are demonstrated using a common data set on water quality and swimming behavior in the …

The Bahrain Schools, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

The history of education in the Gulf includes a number of early school schemes that emulated British elitist secondary education, the sort of pedagogy that one associates with the English public schools. My opinion has been that this emphasis on a traditional and non vocational curriculum was a contributor to the challenges that countries faced that had been under British sway.
