Allocation of Income within the Household

Allocation of Income within the Household

Edward P. Lazear; Robert T. Michael

University of Chicago Press
1988
sidottu
Allocation of Income within the Household develops an important new economic model of income distribution within the family, one that attempts to determine which family characteristics affect spending patterns. Professors Lazear and Michael base their work on an analysis of the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey and test their conclusions against the 1960-61 survey to verify the persistence of the effects discovered. They find, for example, that the average household spends $38 per child for every $100 spent per adult and that the level of relative and absolute expenditure on the child rises with the level of education of the head of the household. Lazear and Michael also explore the implications their study may hold for the process of determining child support payments in households that dissolve. They argue that, unless the spending of every dollar can be monitored, alimony cannot be disentangled from child support. They also develop several criteria by which income might be distributed among family members, and, using one of those criteria, they present a series of tables that suggest the appropriate payment from one parent to another given family size, structure, and income level. Their model is particularly useful because it takes account of the ways other family members who were not part of the original household may contribute income to the new household. Other issues considered include the appropriate way to deal with children with special needs and the timing of transfer payments.

Edward P. Dozier

Edward P. Dozier

Marilyn Norcini

University of Arizona Press
2007
sidottu
Edward P. Dozier was the first American Indian to establish a career as an academic anthropologist. In doing so, he faced a double paradox, cademic and cultural. The notion of objectivity that governed academic anthropology at the time dictated that researchers be impartial outsiders. Scientific knowledge was considered unbiased, impersonal, and public. In contrast, Dozier's Pueblo Indian culture regarded knowledge as privileged, personal, and gendered. Ceremonial knowledge was protected by secrecy and was never intended to be made public, either within or outside of the community. As an indigenous ethnologist and linguist, Dozier negotiated a careful balance between the conflicting values of a social scientist and a Pueblo Indian. Based on archival research, ethnographic fieldwork at Santa Clara Pueblo, and extensive interviews, this intellectual biography traces Dozier's education from a Bureau of Indian Affairs day school through the University of New Mexico on federal reimbursable loans and graduate school on the GI Bill. Dozier was the first graduate of the new post World War II doctoral program in anthropology at the University of California at Los Angeles in 1952. Beginning with his multicultural and linguistic heritage, the book interprets pivotal moments in his career, including the impact of Pueblo kinship on his indigenous research at Tewa Village (Hano); his rising academic standing and Indian advocacy at Northwestern University; his achievement of full academic status after he conducted non-indigenous fieldwork with the Kalinga in the Philippines; and his leadership in establishing American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona. Norcini interprets Dozier's career within the contexts of the history of American anthropology and Pueblo Indian culture. In the final analysis, Dozier is positioned as a transitional figure who helped transform the historical paradox of an American Indian anthropologist into the contemporary paradigm of indigenous scholarship in the academy.

Understanding Edward P. Jones

Understanding Edward P. Jones

James W. Coleman

University of South Carolina Press
2016
sidottu
In Understanding Edward P. Jones, James W. Coleman analyzes Jones's award-winning works as well as the significant influences that have shaped his craft. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Jones has made that city and its African American community the subject of or background for most of his fiction. Though Jones's first work was published in 1976, his career developed slowly. While he worked for two decades as a proofreader and abstractor, Jones published short fiction in such periodicals as Essence, the New Yorker, and Paris Review. His first collection, Lost in the City, won the PEN/Hemingway Award, and subsequent books, including The Known World and All Aunt Hagar's Children, received similar accolades, including the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.Following an overview of Jones's life, influences, and career, Coleman provides an introduction to the technique of Jones's fiction, which he likens to a tapestry, woven of intricate, varied, and sometimes disparate elements. He then analyzes the formal structure, themes, and characters of The Known World and devotes a chapter each to the short story collections Lost in the City and All Aunt Hagar's Children. His discussion of these volumes focuses on Jones's narrative technique; the themes of family, community, and broader tradition; and the connections through which the stories in each volume collectively create a thematic whole. In his final chapter, Coleman assesses Jones's encompassing outlook that sees African American life in distinct periods but also as a historical whole, simultaneously in the future, the past, and the present.

The Service of My Love: Speeches from the Distinguished Career of E.P.G. Seaga

The Service of My Love: Speeches from the Distinguished Career of E.P.G. Seaga

Edward P. G. Seaga

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
This book is a collection of speeches that mark the distinguished career of Edward Seaga, former Prime Minister of Jamaica, over a period of 45 years from his entry into the Legislative Council in 1959 until his resignation from the House of Representatives in 2004. In what was the longest tenure of any elected representative in the politics of modern Jamaica, Edward Seaga defined his mission from the start as a mission of social justice; to close the wide gulf that separated the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots, and create a more happy and balanced society. That vision shaped the highly successful first decade of independence when robust economic growth and programmes of social uplift produced a 50 percent improvement in the quality of working class life judged by access to education, jobs and the social services. His challenge in the second decade was to offer from opposition, a market-based growth alternative to the command policies of a socialist regime that was destroying the economy and dividing the society and finally produced a 25 percent decline in the quality of working class life. Seaga's challenge in these times was also to defend Jamaica's democratic institutions from a ruling party that wanted to turn democratic Jamaica into a one-party state on the Cuban model. Voted into power in 1980, Seaga returned the economy to growth and launched further social empowerment programmes. He was defeated in 1989 by neo-socialists who again ruined the economy because of their ignorance of the operation of market forces. In resigning his office in 2004 Seaga outlined to the ruling party the fundamental errors they had made and gave them a prescription for future economic success. Seaga made his mark internationally as a defender of democracy and as the man who led the forces that liberated the island of Grenada in 1983 when a socialist revolution turned on itself and the prime minister and his cabinet were assassinated. In addresses to the UN General Assembly in 1985 and the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference in 1987, he argued persuasively that South Africa's apartheid system would not be destroyed by flights of rhetoric but by sanctions aimed at sharply reducing the value of the Rand to destroy its economic underpinnings. His thoroughly researched presentation convinced the UN and the Commonwealth Prime Ministers to maintain sanctions when other persuasive voices were arguing for their relaxation. He was proven right when the economic thrust finally brought an end to the oppressive system and freedom to 20,000, 000 black South Africans. Seaga's other passion was the encouragement of Jamaican culture because he understood its role in defining a people, in giving them a sense of self-worth and the confidence to take their place in the world. He returned to Jamaica the body of Marcus Garvey and created institutions for the celebration and preservation of Jamaican culture. In the 20 speeches listed, the most notable ones are The Haves and Have-Nots Speech, and three in which he eviscerates the socialist government, the first of which is titled, On a Collision Course With Bankruptcy. Also notable are the Social Wellbeing Speech, The Commonwealth Prime Ministers' speech and the penultimate, The Folk Roots of Jamaican Cultural Identity. The 1992 speech he made in the parliamentary tribute to Nelson Mandela in 1992 is so beautifully done that it should be placed among the great speeches that children are taught to recite. Among the tributes paid to Seaga on his retirement was one from pollster and social scientist, Carl Stone who wrote that no other Jamaican leader had created as many institutions or had left as much to posterity as Edward Seaga. His career was an act of love to the people of Jamaica that is best expressed in Sir Cecil Spring-Rice's song, I vow to thee my country, all earthly above, entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love.
