  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

Bachelor of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1964 Master of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1965 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1972 OKLAHOMA STATE UNiVERSITY LIBRARY MAY 30 1973 ::.a-:r...... ... ~·· .. , .• ··~.• .. ,..,,.·· ,,.,., OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVIS~, 1901-1917 Thesis Approved: Oean of the Graduate College PREFACE This dissertation is a study for a single state, Oklahoma, and is designed to test the prevailing Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis concerning progressivism. The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives.

Roper March 2010 © 2008 Brandon D. Roper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED - 2 - Committee Membership TITLE: Clash of Titans: William Randolph Hearst and his impact on American Foreign Policy in the Interwar Period AUTHOR: Brandon D. Roper DATE SUBMITTED: March 24, 2010 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Thomas Trice, Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Robert Detweiler, Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: John Snetsinger, Professor of History - 3 - ABSTRACT Clash of Titans: William Randolph Hearst and his impact on American Foreign Policy in the Interwar Period The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a prominent figure of the 20 th century, William Randolph Hearst and to analyze the influence he was able to exert over American foreign policy through his own personal connections and those of his periodicals. This also includes an analysis between Hearst and Roosevelt, and noting the varying levels of influence between the two. This thesis will demonstrate that William Randolph Hearst is a prominent figure of 20 th century history, but was overshadowed by Roosevelt. Hearst while powerful was always putting his power into ventures that would backfire politically. When his papers declined, his influence over politics plummeted instantly.

  • Resourceful Disciple
    RESOURCEFUL DISCIPLE the LIFE, TIMES, & EXTENDED FAMILY of THOMAS EDWARDS BASSETT (1862-1926) by Arthur R. Bassett Prologue Purposed Audience and Prepared Authorship Part 1: For Whom the Bells Toll: Three Target Audiences It might be argued that every written composition, either by intent or subconsciously, has an intended audience to whom it is addressed; this biography, as indicated in the title, has three: 1) those interested in the facts surrounding the life of Thomas E. Bassett, 2) those interested in his times, and 3) those with an interest in his extended family. 1) Those Interested in His Life In one sense, this is the story of a single solitary life, selected and plucked from a pool of billions. It is the life of Thomas E. Bassett. He is not only my grandfather; he is also one of my heroes, so I hope that I can be forgiven if at times this biography exhibits overtones of a hagiography.1 I feel that his story deserves to be preserved, if for no other reason than his life was so extraordinary. It is truly a classic example of the America dream come true. Like most of his immediate descendants, I had heard the litany of his achievements from my very early childhood: first state senator from his county, first schoolteacher in Rexburg, first postmaster, newspaper editor, stake president, etc. However, as far as I know, no one has laid out the entire tapestry of his life in such a way that the chronological order and interrelationship of these accomplishments is demonstrated. This has been a major part of my project in this biography.

  • Herbert Hoover: Progressive “Conservative”?
    Herbert Hoover: Progressive “Conservative”? Raphaël Townshend In February 2009, Barack Obama put a $787 billion economic stimulus plan into action to combat a growing economic decline. In late 1929, the beginning of a similarly massive crisis struck the United States of America. As this Great Depression came about, Herbert Hoover, the newly elected President of the United States, stepped up to the plate in an attempt to deal with the problem using, amongst other policies, public works. Unfortunately for him, his solution was not without flaws, and the Depression continued relentlessly, causing the new president’s popularity to drop drastically. In the following decades, many, such as Hoover’s contemporaries Franklin Delano Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst and historians such as Elliot Rosen and Thomas Cochran, have accused Hoover of letting Republican laissez- faire principles inherited from his predecessors prevent him from taking the kind of action needed to resolve the crisis. However, I believe that Hoover was acting based on principles derived from his past experiences and progressive lines of thought rather than the general views of the Republican Party. The President believed that his rather progressive model, based on public works and volunteerism, would be the most likely to succeed in solving the crisis, instead of upholding a no-intervention policy based on the lofty principles of the “New Era.” Following the economic models that would seem to make the most impact instead of the ones that were the most in line with Republican principles, Hoover began increasing the government’s use of public works to cope with the national crisis in an attempt to increase purchasing power and stabilize the economy.
