  • Populism in a Divided America Stephen Richardson
    CONTRIBUTOR BIO STEPHEN RICHARDSON is a third year political science student, concentrat- ing in pre-law, and is a member of the Cal Poly Marksmanship Club. Stephen is a Marine veteran who was stationed in Okinawa, Japan from 2009-2011. Stephen hopes to eventually pursue a career in international law or diplomacy focused in national security. POPULISM IN A DIVIDED AMERICA Stephen Richardson “It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.” — Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech Former President Barack Obama most likely did not foresee how ironic this quote would become when he took the stage in Chicago after his historic 2008 election. Americans are now more divided and polarized than he could have imagined. Cultural divisions and political partisanship have been reaching fever-pitch, as a wave of populism has swept through Europe and the United States, fanning fears of demagoguery. With Brexit in the United Kingdom, and President Trump’s shocking victory in the US, many mainstream observers fear that fascism is both spreading through and threatening liberal democracies.1 1 Sheri Berman, “Populism is not Fascism: But it Could Be a Harbinger.” Foreign Affairs, December, 2016, 39. paideia Fascism is profoundly different than populism, and attempts to claim that recent events equate to fascism are exaggerated and incorrect.

  • How Labor Unions Affect Firm Value
    How Labor Unions Affect Firm Value: Evidence from Political Contributions in the United States Keegan Woods and Kelvin Jui Keng Tan* The University of Queensland, Business School August, 2018 ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relation between political engagement by special interest groups (corporations and labor unions) and corporate stock returns in the United States. Exploiting two opposing interventions affecting the legality of soft-money political contribu- tions from unions and corporations, we find that abnormal returns around the ban (repeal) of soft-money contributions are positively (negatively) related to unionization. These results suggest that political spending by labor unions has a meaningfully deleterious effect on the value of unionized corporations. To counter-engage labor unions in the political arena, we find that unionized firms provide more support (i.e., hard-money contribution) for Republi- cans. JEL classification: J51, G32, K16, D72. *Keegan Woods is at the University of Queensland, email: [email protected]. Kelvin Tan is at the University of Queensland, email: [email protected]. We thank seminar and conference participants at the Financial Management - Asia/Pacific Conference, American Economic Association Conference (Scheduled 2019), ShenZhen University for their helpful comments and suggestions. Each election cycle, labor unions directly contribute millions of dollars in hard-money dona- tions to political candidates running for office in the United States. Special interest groups such as corporations and labor unions are able to provide politicians with financial support through two different channels. The first of these channels is known as direct, \hard money" contributions. In short, through this channel, special interest groups are able to establish a Political Action Committee (PAC) which can then provide up to $5,000 to each and every candidate up for federal election.

Because of the Internet anyone can make their message heard. The Young Turks claims to be the largest online news show in the world and they have over 650 000 subscribers on Youtube. Therefore it is important to study how alternative media differs from more traditional media. This study focuses on alternative journalism on Youtube. The aim of this study is to identify the difference between the Youtube channel The Young Turks and CNN. The weight in the study lays in the ways the news is being presented. This study uses qualitative content from four news videos made by The Young Turks and four news videos made by CNN. This study focuses on the specific content in a few news videos rather than the overall content in several news videos. A dramatic analysis method is used to determine how the two media channels differ. The result shows that the news videos made by CNN used objectivity as a means to claim their professionalism more often than The Young Turks.
