Interview With Howard Sherman In Democratic Left, Howard J. Sherman, Solveig Wilder
HOWARD J SHERMAN
Interview with Howard Sherman on Democratic Socialism, based on his book Reinventing Marxism. Interviewer Solveig Wilder comments: "If you're like me, you read a great deal searching for theories that you can apply to your activism.

Author and DSA member Howard Sherman agreed to give me an interview so that other DSAers could find out about this useful resource."

Si l’on n’y prend pas garde, la réduction du temps de travail légal entraînera des effets non anticipés par le gouvernement. L’un d’entre eux est celui de l’augmentation du « travail au noir ».

Computing The Extent Of Circumvention Of Proposition 13: A Response, Robert L. Sexton, Gary M. Galles
Robert L Sexton
ABSTRACT. Galles and Sexton (1998) showed that California state and local revenues exceeded their previous real per capita levels as did the sum of property taxes plus charges and miscellaneous revenues within a decade after Proposition 13 passed, and concluded that Proposition 13 was only temporarily successful at shrinking California state and local governments. Khoury and Pal (2000) challenge this conclusion. However, their conclusion that Proposition 13’s circumvention “has been only marginal” results from using per $1000 of income comparisons rather than real per capita comparisons and from using growth rate changes, which fail to adjust for U.S. fiscal trends, …
