Thompson Taxing Democracy: Politics and the Bush Tax Cut by Michael J. Thompson The science of economics is a political science. —Max Weber ew domestic political issues have been debated with more passion than Fthe tax cut that was proposed by the Bush administration and recently passed by Congress. The tax cuts have been characterized as everything from a giveaway to the rich to a stimulus package for an ailing economy. Political rhetoric frequently coalesces with “social science,” statistics and economic argumentation, but—interestingly enough—the political character of decision-making on tax policy has tended to disappear from the public debate. What I think is happening, however, is not simply a rethinking of tax codes or a move away from the redistributional character of the post-war American welfare state.

Museum Websites and Restitution: Rediscovering Holocaust-Era Objects in the Digital Age by Gabriella Bloom A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Art Business Sotheby’s Institute of Art 2019 15,880 words Abstract Under the Third Reich, Europe experienced one of the most far-reaching examples of plunder of cultural property in modern history. While the Allies succeeded in returning many objects and artworks towards the end of the war and initially following it, many objects remained missing and hidden. The late 1990s led to a resurgence of interest in Holocaust-Era looting, resulting in a rise of cases and litigation over previously plundered objects. As many looted artworks materialized in United States museums, museums began further researching their collections’ provenance and inputting this information online.
