The Anti-Injustice Squad

The Cacomistle Team

By: Kent Johnson Olsen

EVERY PERSON BORN ON THIS EARTH HAS THE RIGHT TO WALK THROUGH LIFE, UNMOLESTED, UNAFRAID. SENSI J.R. JENSEN, 1981 Roommates, Riley and Lila searched mountain cliffs for a missing five-year old girl. They see a man with a hang-glider on his back. I dont want to go said the little girl. The roommates rushed forward. The little girl jumped on Riley, arms around her neck, and legs around a slim waist. The man dipped his wing, knocked Lila down, and pushed Riley and the little girl off the 200-foot cliff, as he leaped into the air and flew away. Today, young people face many challenges. They often feel helpless amid turmoil, including violence. It seems as though there is nothing they can do to change things. But what if that wasnt the case. In his novel The Anti-Injustice Squad, author Kent Johnson Olsen tells the story of a group of young people making a difference. Gathered at a ranch, they work together to help others. The group is composed of admirable characters, including Riley. She does not let her physical scarring hinder her from taking risks and helping others. Although the situations confronted in The Anti-Injustice Squad probably will not be familiar to your life, the relationship between Riley and the other members of the squad shows how even young people can change things for others, including standing together against bullies. You, too, can make a difference.

Circles of Compensation

Circles of Compensation

Economic Growth and the Globalization of Japan

By: Kent E. Calder

Japan grew explosively and consistently for more than a century, from the Meiji Restoration until the collapse of the economic bubble in the early 1990s. Since then, it has been unable to restart its economic engine and respond to globalization. How could the same political–economic system produce such strongly contrasting outcomes? This book identifies the crucial variables as classic Japanese forms of socio-political organization: the "circles of compensation." These cooperative groupings of economic, political, and bureaucratic interests dictate corporate and individual responses to such critical issues as investment and innovation; at the micro level, they explain why individuals can be decidedly cautious on their own, yet prone to risk-taking as a collective. Kent E. Calder examines how these circles operate in seven concrete areas, from food supply to consumer electronics, and deals in special detail with the influence of Japan's changing financial system. The result is a comprehensive overview of Japan's circles of compensation as they stand today, and a road map for broadening them in the future.

Economics and Contemporary Issues

By: Michael R. Edgmand,Ronald L. Moomaw,Kent W. Olson

This text examines major economic issues pertaining to education, health care, Social Security, unemployment, inflation, and international trade. It also examines social and political phenomena, such as the collapse of communism and central planning, the role of government in a modern economy, crime and drugs, poverty, and the failure of some economies to grow. The book maximizes the advantages of an issues-oriented approach to the non-majors course by examining topics that interest students, while developing core economic principles, and providing insights, challenges, and an analytical framework - all of which emphasize critical thinking. Students who study this textbook will develop an increased interest in economics, seeing it as important in understanding issues that affect them personally, as well as in understanding today's news headlines. This book develops principles and applications to issues more thoroughly and provides much more of an international perspective than most of the others like it on the market.

The Rebirth of Urban Democracy

By: Jeffrey M. Berry,Kent E. Portney,Ken Thomson

In an era when government seems remote and difficult to approach, participatory democracy may seem a hopelessly romantic notion. Yet nothing is more crucial to the future of American democracy than to develop some way of spurring greater citizen participation. In this important book, Jeffrey Berry, Ken Portney, and Ken Thompson examine cities that have created systems of neighborhood government and incorporated citizens in public policymaking. Through careful research and analysis, the authors find that neighborhood based participation is the key to revitalizing American democracy. The Rebirth of Urban Democracy provides a thorough examination of five cities with strong citizen participation programs--Birmingham, Dayton, Portland, St. Paul, and San Antonio. In each city, the authors explore whether neighborhood associations encourage more people to participate; whether these associations are able to promote policy responsiveness on the art of local governments; and whether participation in these associations increases the capacity of people to take part in government. Finally, the authors outline the steps that can be taken to increase political participation in urban America. Berry, Portney, and Thomson show that citizens in participatory programs are able to get their issues on the public agenda and develop a stronger sense of community, greater trust in government officials, and more confidence in the political system. From a rigorous evaluation of surveys and interviews with thousands of citizens and policymakers, the authors also find that central governments in these cities are highly responsive to their neighborhoods and that less conflict exists among citizens and policymakers. The authors assert that these programs can provide a blueprint for major reform in cities across the country. They outline the components for successful participation programs and offer recommendations for those who want to get involved. They demonstrate that participation systems can influence citizens to become more knowledgeable, more productive, and more confident in government; and can provide more governments with a mechanism for being more responsive in setting priorities and formulating polices that closely approximate the true preferences of the people.
