Populism and Patronage
Populist rule is bad for democracy, yet in country after country, populists are being voted into office. Populism and Patronage shows that the populists such as Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi win elections when the institutionalized ties between non-populist parties and voters decay. Yet, the explanations for this decay differ across different types of party system. Populism and Patronage focuses on the particular vulnerability of patronage-based party systems to populism. Patronage-based systems are ones in which parties depend on the distribution of patronage through a network of brokers to mobilize voters. Drawing on principal agent theory and social network theory, this book argues that...
Dyadic Data Analysis
Interpersonal phenomena such as attachment, conflict, person perception, learning, and influence have traditionally been studied by examining individuals in isolation, which falls short of capturing their truly interpersonal nature. This book offers state-of-the-art solutions to this age-old problem by presenting methodological and data-analytic approaches useful in investigating processes that take place among dyads: couples, coworkers, parent and child, teacher and student, or doctor and patient, to name just a few. Rich examples from psychology and across the behavioral and social sciences help build the researcher's ability to conceptualize relationship processes; model and test for actor effects, partner effects, and relationship effects; and model and control for the statistical interdependence that can exist between partners. The companion website provides clarifications, elaborations, corrections, and data and files for each chapter.
Living in the Shadow of Charles A. Stoneham
In the early 1900s the world of Wall Street was like the wild west. There were no rules. A company did not even have to have an annual audit to list their stock on the NYSE. It was an environment perfect for swindlers. My grandfather worked for one of the biggest con artists of the time, Charles A, Stoneham. His specialty was hawking mining stocks in the chain of "bucket shops' he created. These offices looked like today's stock market offices with big boards and plenty of ticker tape machines where you could buy a stock. But it was all a scam to take your money. Stocks were rarely purchased and you ended up losing your money. In 1919, Stoneham sold his 'business' and bought the New York Giants baseball team. These firms soon declared bankruptcy and the lawsuits began. Stoneham's affiliations with Arnold Rothstein, organized crime, and Tammany Hall were revealed; as well as his scandalous love life. With my grandfather's help Stoneham never went to jail.
