WARD ([email protected]) Guest Associate Editor – CHARLES A. PETERS ([email protected]) The National Water Quality Monitoring Council (NWQMC) presents its proposed water quality ‘monitoring framework’ in this issue of IMPACT. The graphic representation of the framework (presented on pg. 3), is explained in a series of papers. The purpose of the framework is to support production of consistent and comparable water quality data and information in support of fair and equitable management decisionmaking. Additional information and detail regarding the framework is available on the NWQMC Website: http://water.usgs.gov/wicp/acwi/monitoring/. For example, terms marked with bold type in this issue are included in a glossary on the NWQMC website.

This reduction of demography caused scarcity of labor, increase in wages, decrease in inequality, and contested the then-feudal system in Europe. It also paved the way for the Industrial Revolution which Industrial Britain was hit by ‘King Cholera’ in 1831-32, 1848-49, 1854 and 1867. Tuberculosis also was responsible for the death of one-third of the casualties in Britain between 1800 and 1850. This nightmarish refrain comes back now stronger as epidemics have been ‘great equalizers’, and may initiate long-term implications nor only for European economic growth, but also for the world economy. After the US Federal Reserve decided to slash the benchmark interest rate to between zero and 0.25 percent (down from a range of 1 to 1.25 percent) and to buy $700 billion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in a Sunday emergency meeting, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 2,250 points at the open and trading suspended almost immediately the following day Monday, March 16. President Trump has framed the pandemic in xenophobic terms and made the wildly- irresponsible claim that “it will go away.

The Real Silent Majority: Denver and the Realignment of American Politics After the Sixties Abstract “The Real Silent Majority” offers a new assessment of late-twentieth century U.S. political realignment, overturning previous explanations focused on the supposed death of liberalism and rise of the New Right. Instead, it traces the emergence of a pragmatic, self-interested, and only weakly partisan “quality of life” politics in America’s metropolitan areas from the late-1960s onwards. A case study of Denver, Colorado, and its surrounding metropolitan region, my study is a political and spatial history that incorporates perspectives from cultural, intellectual, and policy history as well as the interdisciplinary fields of metropolitan and urban studies. In examining the new definitions of citizenship and democracy that emerged in places like Denver, my dissertation promises a thorough re-conceptualization of a pivotal period in U.S. history that has profound implications for American politics and government today.

In broad terms, it denotes a preference for markets over government, economic incentives over social or cultural norms, and private entrepreneurship over collective or community action. It has been used to describe a wide range of phenomena—from Augusto Pinochet to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, from the Clinton Democrats and Britain’s New http://bostonreview.net/class-inequality/dani-rodrik-rescuing-economics-neoliberalism Página 1 de 15 Rescuing Economics from Neoliberalism | Boston Review 05/12/17 0931 Labour to the economic opening in China and the reform of the welfare state in Sweden. The term is used as a catchall for anything that smacks of deregulation, liberalization, privatization, or fiscal austerity. Today it is reviled routinely as a short-hand for the ideas and the practices that have produced growing economic insecurity and inequality, led to the loss of our political values and ideals, and even precipitated our current populist backlash. As we heap scorn on neoliberalism, we risk throwing out some of its useful ideas. We live in the age of neoliberalism, apparently. But who are neoliberalism’s adherents and disseminators—the neoliberals? Oddly, you would almost have to go back to the early 1980s to find anyone explicitly embracing neoliberalism. In 1982, Charles Peters, the longtime editor of The Washington Monthly, published an essay called “A Neo- Liberal’s Manifesto.” It makes for interesting reading thirty-five years later, since the neoliberalism it describes bears little resemblance to today’s target of derision.

    2019-Political-Engagement-Report

    1 Verizon Political Engagement - 2019 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on our business. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to create new services for our customers and compete fairly in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. Verizon also participates in trade associations that advocate on behalf of their members. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2019. It also lists our Public Policy organization's significant memberships in trade associations and issue advocacy organizations and provides a link to our federal lobbying reports. Our political activity is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
