New York City And The Economic Crisis, Joseph Harris Mar 1977

New York City And The Economic Crisis, Joseph Harris

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The crisis of New York City and the crises affecting many hundreds of other cities, counties, school districts, and other local and state governments are not accidents. They are a direct result of the neglect that social welfare receives at the hands of a government interested only in furthering the profits and position of the monopolies. Some people call the U.S. government a "warfare/welfare" state. I prefer to call it a state dominated by the giant corporations which control the economic and hence the political life of our nation. As long as federal policy continues to stress profits before people, …

Social Welfare As A By-Product: The Effect Of Neo-Mercantilism , David Macarov Mar 1977

Social Welfare As A By-Product: The Effect Of Neo-Mercantilism , David Macarov

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mercantilism was a predominant philosophy, theory, or guide to action in many western countries. Emphasis on measures leading to national wealth was pronounced--in some cases, almost exclusive--and the results for social welfare were marginal programs at best, and anti-welfare programs in some cases. In contradistinction to individual needs or aspirations, considerations of national wealth and power were paramount to the point that, in Britain at least, it seemed that here was "nothing to fight for, nothing to support, nothing to augment but.. .commerce." Whether national wealth was seen as leading to national iower, or …

The Case For Tax Loopholes, Murray L. Weidenbaum Mar 1977

The Case For Tax Loopholes, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Contrary to popular belief, tax expenditures or "loopholes" can in fact be useful. Given that the prompt elimination of large government deficit financing and pervasive government regulation is unlikely, tax expenditures may serve as a more sensible, second-best alternative. Indeed, tax expenditures (or incentives) may serve a variety of public purposes, ranging from promoting business investment to encouraging private, voluntary organizations. Typical tax expenditures tend to benefit the middle and lower income groups and should be considered an important alternative to achieve important government objectives.

Food And Foreign Affairs: The Role Of Agricultural Trade Policy In International Commerce And Domestic Relations, Clayton K. Yeutter Jan 1977

Food And Foreign Affairs: The Role Of Agricultural Trade Policy In International Commerce And Domestic Relations, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers

Until that now famous series of Russian grain sales took place in 1972 agricultural policy in the United States had begun to lose its sex appeal! It had its challenges in the drought and depression years of the '30s, and again during World War II, but in both those cases the concern was whether we could produce enough for our needs. In the earlier of those decades, we had an additional preoccupation with the economic survival of our farming communities. Farm families had to.be strong in every sense of the word to live through the '30s.

Actual, Desired And Full Levels Of Capital Utilisation In Malaysian Manufacturing, David Lim Jan 1977

Actual, Desired And Full Levels Of Capital Utilisation In Malaysian Manufacturing, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

This paper shows that capital utilisation in West Malaysian manufacturing, though higher than that in other less developed countries, still leaves capital plant idle for a considerable proportion of the total available time. These findings, based on a modified McGraw‐Hill measure and on the Winston time‐measure of capital utilisation, therefore calls into question the wisdom of an industrial investment incentive programme which aims primarily at maximising the volume of capital expenditure, and which pays no attention at all to the level of utilisation of the existing stock of capital.
