  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967
    The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Denning Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Paula M. Baker, Advisor Dr. William R. Childs Dr. Mansel Blackford Copyright By Robert Denning 2011 Abstract California took the lead on environmental protection and regulation during Ronald Reagan‟s years as governor (1967-1974). Drawing on over a century of experience with conserving natural resources, environmentally friendly legislators and Governor Reagan enacted the strongest air and water pollution control programs in the nation, imposed stringent regulations on land use around threatened areas like Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay, expanded the size and number of state parks, and required developers to take environmental considerations into account when planning new projects. This project explains why and how California became the national leader on environmental issues. It did so because of popular anger toward the environmental degradation that accompanied the state‟s rapid and uncontrolled expansion after World War II, the election of a governor and legislators who were willing to set environmental standards that went beyond what industry and business believed was technically feasible, and an activist citizenry that pursued new regulations through lawsuits and ballot measures when they believed the state government failed. The environment had a broad constituency in California during the Reagan years. Republicans, Democrats, students, bureaucrats, scientists, and many businessmen tackled the environmental problems that ii threatened the California way of life.

Tax Reform Commissions in the Sweep of California's Fiscal History by STEVEN M. SHEFFRIN* Introduction On September 29, 2009, the California Commission on the 21st Century ("Parsky Commission")' submitted to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature its recommendations for reforming the California tax system.2 When the Governor and the Legislature first appointed the Parsky Commission, there were very high expectations. California was experiencing a severe financial crisis, following on the heels of ongoing budgetary problems and a national recession. Many hoped that the Parsky Commission could provide some direction out of the crisis. There were broad indications that the recommendations of the Parsky Commission would be taken very seriously in Sacramento and would be considered seriously by the Legislature.3 The Parsky Commission proposed a very bold plan, introducing a new tax called the Business Net Receipts Tax ("BNRT") and using the proceeds from that tax to finance large reductions in personal * Executive Director, Murphy Institute and Professor of Economics, Tulane University; [email protected].

I want to thank Dr. Nancy Beck Young for her frequent brainstorming sessions, helpful editing eyes, and constant support. She has taught me how to push myself to work harder, question more, and never accept mediocracy. I could not have completed this project without the support of my committee, their helpful comments, and their valuable experience. I want to thank the many archivists I have worked with, especially Evelyn Taylor with the California State University Channel Islands Archive in Camarillo, California. Lastly, I want to thank members of hometown of Camarillo for their willingness to help with my project and desire to preserve the narratives of those often forgotten. iv ABSTRACT The Camarillo State Hospital was a southern California mental asylum that operated in Camarillo between 1936 and 1997.

After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, he joined his father’s medical practice, specializing in diseases of the eye and ear. Interested in his community and politics, Dr. Pardee was mayor of Oakland from 1893-95. Elected governor in 1902, his was the first California governor’s family to live in the mansion at 16th and H Streets. After moving into the mansion, the Pardees added an office that had a stairway and entrance from the outside so visitors would not disturb the family. Governor Pardee is remembered for the personal direction that he provided in rebuilding San Francisco after the earthquake of April 18, 1906. He was the first governor to request and get federal aid for a natural disaster. George and Helen Pardee met when they attended Oakland High School and graduated together in 1875.
