If so, I will be glad. My intention, from the start of my dissertation research in 1987-1988, was to develop a body of work that drew on my background in journalism, agricultural economics, and sociology. I wanted a truly in-depth, long-term case study of de- velopment policies in my then-home state of Kentucky. With all due apologies to the late C. Wright Mills, the writing and research for this book are an exercise in stretching the “sociological imagination.” Some will say this book is not sociological. I am fine with that. My disserta- tion committee, as I learned later, debated this issue after my too-wordy response to a question about what made my work sociological. Frankly, I didn’t care if my dissertation was or wasn’t sociological, and I said so then in phrases that raised doubts about my orthodoxy. Sociology, coupled with knowledge from my other disciplines, provided critical tools for a deep investigation into the evolution of Kentucky’s economic development and education policies. This book emphasizes the evolution of Kentucky’s economic development policies with references to education. So, it is historical, but not necessarily history. Selling the State is not political science, either. But it is about state-level politics, a field researched all too rarely. It is based on hundreds and hundreds of pages of government documents, including governors’ speeches; documents from the legislature and state agencies; and newspaper reports and books. Nor is this book an economics text, although it is laced with interpretations of economic philosophy. The underlying assumption is that capitalist economics is far more than marketplace activities. Economics is characterized by different modes of thought that determine how market activities are viewed, and what, if any role government should play in the economy. If capitalism is an ideology, a sometimes fragmented one at that, then the term “Keynesian activism” is a le- gitimate way of describing Kentucky’s efforts to attract new capital by “pump- priming” the Commonwealth’s economy with business tax breaks and incentives to create jobs that boost consumption. Probably the first (or last) straw for many readers will be the book’s critical theoretical lens based on the heritage of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, and Enzo Mingione, among others. These philosophers/activists/academics and others like them provide incisive tools for understanding how economy, politics, and culture are inextricably interwoven in a capitalist sociocultural system that is at once unified and divided, declining and rising. In other words, it is dynamic. The tools are not overly popular in many circles across the United States, perhaps because they dig a little bit too deeply under the nation’s fragile mythologies of free mar- kets and pluralistic government that are said to promote equality of opportunity, growth, and progress. x Preface Many government and economic leaders—especially in Kentucky—are not going to be happy with this book. It unravels myths surrounding a welfare state dedicated to supporting business profitability while staking a claim on job cre- ation for the masses. The system runs on regressive taxes that hit workers hardest. In addition, job creation coming out of the 2007 has been weak by all historic measures, despite pervasive corporate tax breaks. Over the past two generations, job creation using incentives of one sort or another has become a central function of government at all levels. Critics will question the analytical tools I use. They will disagree with my interpretations. They will question the facts I use. Such is the fun of different viewpoints, different ways of seeing and knowing, in civil debates. We need a good debate about the role of government in assisting businesses in the name of job creation. Much is at stake. I hope Selling the State—a pun if ever there was one—contributes to the discussion in some way. xi FOREWARD On the next to last page of her essential book on development, The Economy of Cities, Jane Jacobs imagines that some day a flying saucer will appear from another solar system. Earthlings will be agog at the gizmos the visitors will carry and the vehicles that brought them from so far away. We will be eager to ask how all this new machinery works. Jacobs says that questions about technology, however, are not the first we should ask. She writes: The important question … would be something quite different: What kinds of governments had they invented which had succeeded in keeping open the op- portunities for economic and technological development instead of closing them off? Without helpful advice from outer space, this remains one of the most press- ing and least regarded problems. While covering economic development policy in Kentucky during the 1990s for the Lexington Herald-Leader, I often thought it would take intervention from another planet (if not the Divine) for the government to develop policies that would give my woebegone state a chance at prosperity. Kentucky and its governors seemed to have an instinct for poverty. The one thing that is clear from the history of economic development, how- ever, is that nobody has a very good recipe for turning poverty into prosperity. Yes, there are charts and books and reports enough to fill a boxcar, but when you get right down to it, nobody has the answer. Nobody can say with any certainty that a combination of X (or Y) factors will result in a poor place becoming rich. Most places are poor, after all, and have been since the beginning of time. If there were a sure-fire road to riches, somebody would have told by now. Economic development is one of those do-it-yourself occupations. You either do it yourself or it doesn’t get done. As a consequence, development becomes a reflection of the state of mind of those developing the policy. Want to know what a group of elected leaders think of their people and their future? Look at their development policies. Those will tell you a lot. That’s why Timothy Collins has written an important book. Selling the State is about how a southern state’s people in the 20th century thought of their state and themselves. It’s a story of Kentucky, yes, but it is also very much a chapter in the larger history of the United States. If Jacobs’s flying saucer had landed in Kentucky (or much of the South) in the last century, the first thing most of the state’s governors—and all of its economic development officials—would do would be to offer the visitors from far away a tax break if they would open a saucer-building factory in the Commonwealth.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you?

Emeritus Professor of Psychology West Virginia State College 1993 • 1 . I NTRODUCTION: Although not a legal r ight presc ribed by the U.S . Constitution, public elementary and secondary educ ation is and should be a high priority in our . nation . The process of educ ating our children has gone through many phases over the years, somewhat parallel t o the growth and economic development o f our country, including the modernization of industrial and labor intensive extracting industries to computerized and highly mechanized manufacturing procedures. The historical development of the pubic educational system in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, especially in Carter County , is a microcosm o f t he national educational system. A brief review· of the history of Kentucky and Carter County with a f ocus on public education, exemplifies the development of our public school system in America. Kentucky has adopted four constitutions since gaining statehood: 1792, 1799, 1850 and 1891 ; however, none o f the first three constitutions reflected any concern for a public school system . Over the years there have been several abortive attempts to revamp Kentucky's Constitution b ut elected officials have not accomplished that feat. Even though the Constitution of the Un ited States makes no direct mention of formal education the nation has developed ~ducation undertakings without specific benefit from U.S . Constitutional Law . For example, the United States has provided modern grants-in-aid, promotion o f education throughout the nation , collected and disseminated specialized information available to all citizens and has provided expert advice in a variety of technical areas .

When the pragmatically liberal Governor Bert T. Combs passed his 3% retail sales tax, in 1960, the people on the Cumberland Plateau felt a surge of confidence. After decades of neglect, local school boards in eastern Kentucky were finally able to offer qualified teachers with a college degree a raise of $900 dollars per year, and perhaps, stem the tide of good teachers who were leaving the region for bigger cities, or leaving the state for greener pastures in Ohio or Tennessee. The tax helped military veterans and funded new classrooms. Teacher standards were raised, a network of vocational schools and ten community colleges opened, and work began on the ambitious Kentucky Educational Television network which would greatly expand educational programming in rural areas. As lawyer and former Kentucky state legislator Harry M. Caudill reported, in his definitive Night Comes to the Cumberlands, that the public schools in eastern Kentucky lagged far behind. A 1960 University of Kentucky study found that high school graduates in Harlan County were performing three years and five months behind high school graduates nationally and were in no position to compete for good jobs.
