JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE EDUCATION • Volume 14 • Number 1 • Summer 2015 Swansonomics: Using “Parks and Recreation” to Teach Economics L. Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.

  • Thesis Ecological Libertarianism
    THESIS ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP Submitted by Zachary Nelson Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: David McIvor Sandra Davis Lynn Hempel Copyright by Zachary Tyler Nelson 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP The field of environmental political theory has made great gains in its relatively short existence as an academic discipline. One area in which these advancements can be noticed is the strong discussion surrounding the foundations, institutions, and processes of Western liberalism and the relationship of these elements to issues of environmentalism. Within this discussion has manifested the bedrock assumption that the underlying components of classical liberalism – namely individualism, negative liberties, and instrumental rationality – preclude or greatly hinder progress toward securing collective environmental needs. This assumption has great intuitive strength as well as exhibition in liberal democracies such as the United States. However, in using this assumption as a launchpad for reconsidering elements of liberalism, scholars have inadvertently closed alternate routes of analysis and theorization. This thesis aims to explore one such alternate route. Libertarianism, the contemporary reincarnation of classical liberalism, has been generally disregarded in policy and academic realms due to its stringent and inflexible adherence to self- interest, instrumental rationality, and individualism; in discussions of environment, these complaints are only augmented. These criticisms have been validated by a libertarian scholarship that emphasized nature as a warehouse of resources specifically suited for human use.

  • Intuckercelebrating Our Past, Present and Future
    intuckercelebrating our past, present and future Published by the City of Tucker, GA FEBRUARY 2018 FROM the mayor Dates to know Tucker’s spirit of volunteerism is a subject that I’ve spoken about at length and written about in this February 12 very space. It’s a source of personal pride, as well as a hallmark of how others perceive our community. City Council Our volunteers were at their very best – and busiest – during the month of January. Take a look at the February 14 back cover of this newsletter and you’ll see exactly what I mean. On the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Community Council Service, we had more than 100 people show up to help paint the walls of Tucker Recreation Center. That same morning, a couple dozen brave souls went to Henderson Park to plant daff odils and make February 22 improvements to the hiking trails. Planning Commission It was a day off from work and temperatures were in the twenties. Yet these people donned their long February 26 johns for the betterment of their community. City Council Speaking of the weather, dangerously low temperatures led volunteers at Tucker First United Methodist Church to open their doors for most nights in January as a place of refuge for people who needed to get out of the cold. The selfl essness of those volunteers changed – and may have saved – lives. Looking forward, I’m grateful for the service of a new group of volunteers. I had the opportunity to swear in our new City boards and commissions last week.

This is an exciting time for everyone involved with Project PoSSUM, and your class marks a first step towards a great new era of citizen-science in our upper atmosphere. In the next five days, you will embark upon a journey to understand the basic science behind the PoSSUM research program and we will assess your abilities to perform in simulated PoSSUM missions. Our Scientist-Astronauts enable cutting edge research and also serve as ambassadors that can engage and educate the public about the upper atmosphere and the vital role that it plays in the study of our global climate. Even though man has maintained a presence in orbit for decades, the mesosphere is still largely an unknown. The mesosphere is a region that we have only briefly transited in our forays to orbital space. It is a region that harbors strange ‘space clouds’, strange electrical phenomena, and ionization that brings silence to vehicles reentering through it. It is an area too high to access by balloon or aircraft yet too low to access by orbital spacecraft. It is the most unknown part of our atmosphere, and yet soon we will have the means to access this elusive region and claim our presence there.
