ABSTRACT Representing the policy preferences of any group is a complex and dynamic enterprise. Representatives make decisions about what group interests to publicly support and which legislative tools to use to communicate that support to group members and colleagues. The representation of group preferences can be substantive, i.e. narrowly-tailored to achieve tangible, relatively immediate, policy outcomes. Or. the representation of group preferences can be symbolic, i.e. broadly-tailored to give group members voice in the legislature. This study expands conventional approaches to black representation by developing a theory of symbolic representation that accounts for legislative activities undertaken with the objective of giving psychological reassurance to group members that representatives are working in their interests and responsive to their needs without the condition that measurable policy outcomes be an immediate goal. Using data I collected on House membersr roll-call voting behavior and bill introductions, as well as data from a recent national black opinion survey. I create several measures of substantive and symbolic representation to analyze how House members represent black interests at the policy-making and agenda-setting stages of the legislative process. 1 find that descriptive representatives (those sharing similar social characteristics, e.g.. race) and partisan representatives (those sharing the same party affiliation) represent black policy preferences differently depending on the stage of the n Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Descriptive representatives1 use of bill sponsorship to advocate black concerns is essential to black representation. Importantly, rney are considerably more likely than their colleagues to advocate black concerns symbolical!}. Descriptive representatives behave less distinctively than their colleagues at the level of roll-call voting and occasionally cast votes that are contrary to the substantive representation of black concerns. New survey data shows that although blacks are generally supportive of black interest policy proposals, their preferences for symbolic or substantive policy proposals are marginally influenced by the type of representation—descriptive or partisan—which they receive. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • The Cost of Greed
    Book Two The Cost of Greed Originally published in Greed and Good: Understanding and Overcoming the Inequality That Limits Our Lives by Sam Pizzigati (Apex Press/Rowman & Littlefield, 2004). For more, see Inequality.org. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR INEQUALITY IF THOSE WHO FAWN OVER FORTUNES were right, if letting wealth accu- mulate were indeed the prime prescription for a healthy, vigorous soci- ety, we ought today to be enjoying a new American golden age. Never before, after all, have grand fortunes accumulated as prodigiously as they have over recent decades, at least not in modern times. Our econ- omy, given this awesome accumulation, ought to be vibrant, full of opportunity at every turn. Our enterprises should be generating wealth at extraordinary rates. We ourselves ought to be feeling stoked and energetic, confident that our hard work will be duly rewarded. Compassion ought to be flowing for the unfortunate, the arts ought to be blooming. We should be feeling absolutely terrific about ourselves and our country. But we aren’t. So what went wrong? What really happens when societies stand back and let great wealth accumulate in the pockets of a few? What has inequality cost us? The pages ahead will search for answers to these questions, in places both self-evident and somewhat surprising. We’ll explore the worksites where we labor and the neighborhoods where we live. We’ll look at our families and our friendships. We’ll examine what makes us happy and what makes us sick. We’ll probe why our professions no longer leave us proud, why our pastimes no longer bring us pleasure.
