Appelbaum, The Glorious Fourth - An American holiday, and American history
No full textDiana Karter Appelbaum, author of a similar book on Thanksgiving, has written a concise, popular history of Fourth of July celebrations from the Declaration of Independence in 1776 until the 1986 centennial of the Statue of Liberty. She presents a delightful chronicle of how patriotic commemorations have changed to reflect the changing nature of American society. Her thesis is that the national holiday "has been imperialist and nostalgic, frivolous and political, drunken and teetotal, but always, it has been an accurate mirror of the mood of the American people.

Ethics in Forensic Psychiatry: A Cultural Response to Stone and Appelbaum
No full textDr. Alan Stone has argued that forensic psychiatrists lack clear
guidelines about what is proper and ethical with respect to their professional
activity and consequently, that they ought to stay out of the courtroom. Dr.
Paul Appelbaum and others have responded to Stone's critique with proposals
that provide a countervailing framework of ethical guidance for forensic
psychiatrists. It is this author's contention that both sides in the debate
have ignored the issues that are important to forensic psychiatrists who
belong to culturally nondominant groups in the United States. As a result,
African-American forensic psychiatrists are likely to be troubled by an ethics
framework that ignores their special struggles linked to the matter of race.
By gutting the debate of any reference to a cultural context, the participants
have enunciated a culture-free theory of ethics that is an ineffective tool
for the black professional. The author argues for a reworking of the
theoretical reasoning behind the debate that would ultimately render the
debate more relevant to the professional life of African-American forensic
psychiatrists and those from other nondominant groups
Working the Aisles: A Life in Consumption
No full textWorking the Aisles takes the reader on tumultuous driving trips across the United States and France, on phone sex escapades in San Francisco, on banking battles in Sweden, and many other adventures – including, of course, on trips to supermarkets, where the author has had to ‘work the aisles’. Moving back and forth through time, like a novelist, indeed in something of a memoirist tour de force, the book develops the story of struggle, of poverty and depression, but also of gaiety and desire, of a will to live in spite of it all, and to keep working the aisles. It moves the reader through highs and lows, through episodes of ecstasy and thoughts about suicide, and tells how this particular Everyman ended up sane but sorry.Robert Appelbaum's new book is a deep and passionate meditation on the meaning of consumption in contemporary society. Its engagement with the concept, while primarily auto-biographical, offers a number of theoretical pointers and extended critical openings that turn this book into an example of what good, experientially relevant, cultural studies might read like today. There is a lot here to remind us that capitalism is as much about systemic expropriation and value accumulation as about `immaterial' struggle on the terrain of affects and desires. Appelbaum's incantatory and recurrent motto - `they do not love you' - comes to life in a series of vignettes, ranging from the warmly frivolous to the painfully moving, in which the alien seductions of the commodified universe of the supermarket combine and alternate with the enslaving pressures of precarious work. Whether recreating scenes of youthful angst or adult pleasure, of despair or survival, his claim is coherent and indisputable: either way, whether it is your spurious satisfaction or your capacity to sell and provide satisfaction for others that is on offer, they do not love you because love is what exceeds the limits of the marketable. Appelbaum makes a very Spinozian and revolutionary point in reclaiming desire - and love - from the claws of the system and in reminding us of what is really at stake in this universe of 24/7 capitalism. ~ Roberto del Valle Alcala, Amazon.co.uk</p

Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
No full textAn NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.Supply control, NEIO, protected designation of origin, Marketing,
Bankruptcy, Warranties and the Firm's Capital Structure.
No full textThis paper examines the role of capital structure as an instrument for shifting risk between real and financial markets. The author considers a firm whose contractual agreements involve both consumers and debtholders and shows that if consumers are risk averse, whereas equity and debtholders are risk neutral, the firm uses its capital structure to shift risk away from consumers. The optimal allocation of risk across real and financial markets leads the firm to be fully equity financed.
