Download or read book Corrupt Illinois written by Thomas J. Gradel and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public funds spent on jets and horses. Shoeboxes stuffed with embezzled cash. Ghost payrolls and incarcerated ex-governors. Illinois' culture of "Where's mine?" and the public apathy it engenders has made our state and local politics a disgrace. In Corrupt Illinois, veteran political observers Thomas J. Gradel and Dick Simpson take aim at business-as-usual. Naming names, the authors lead readers through a gallery of rogues and rotten apples to illustrate how generations of chicanery have undermined faith in, and hope for, honest government. From there, they lay out how to implement institutional reforms that provide accountability and eradicate the favoritism, sweetheart deals, and conflicts of interest corroding our civic life. Corrupt Illinois lays out a blueprint to transform our politics from a pay-to-play–driven marketplace into what it should be: an instrument of public good.

Download or read book Geography History and the American Political Economy written by John Heppen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-08-16 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection takes on the call issued by reviewers of The American Way for a critical application of Carville Earle's framework to more geographical examples of political and economic shifts in America's past. The essays illustrate changes in U.S. settlement, development, and political structure through the lens of the restructuring of the American economy and society over approximately fifty year cycles of crisis and recovery. They demonstrate the extension of American's sphere of influence outside of the United States as a larger scalar shift, and they underscore the utility of geography in answering very local questions concerning questions of poorly documented settlement histories. Focusing on the geographic responses to periodic cycles of crisis and recovery and the more general underlying intertwining of geography and history, Geography, History, and the American Political Economy is an incisive demonstration of how the constant restructuring of American politics and economy occurs within spatial and historical constructs.

Aidées par l'écoute attentive, la considération et la tendresse dont font preuve les accompagnantes de Beit el Hanane, certaines d'entre elles construisent de nouvelles bases solides et durables pour une autre vie. Face à un monde de conflits, d'urgences, dans lequel la pauvreté gagne chaque jour du terrain, ce recueil prend de nos jours une universalité permettant de le transposer dans bien d'autres pays, puisque nous savons tous que les femmes en sont les premières victimes. L'artiste Monique Loubet a bien saisi l'essence de ces nouvelles."--Page 4 of cover.
