JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE EDUCATION • Volume 14 • Number 1 • Summer 2015 Swansonomics: Using “Parks and Recreation” to Teach Economics L. Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.

  • Thesis Ecological Libertarianism
    THESIS ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP Submitted by Zachary Nelson Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: David McIvor Sandra Davis Lynn Hempel Copyright by Zachary Tyler Nelson 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ECOLOGICAL LIBERTARIANISM: THE CASE FOR NONHUMAN SELF-OWNERSHIP The field of environmental political theory has made great gains in its relatively short existence as an academic discipline. One area in which these advancements can be noticed is the strong discussion surrounding the foundations, institutions, and processes of Western liberalism and the relationship of these elements to issues of environmentalism. Within this discussion has manifested the bedrock assumption that the underlying components of classical liberalism – namely individualism, negative liberties, and instrumental rationality – preclude or greatly hinder progress toward securing collective environmental needs. This assumption has great intuitive strength as well as exhibition in liberal democracies such as the United States.
