Reverse revenue sharing: a return to fiscal federalism

Article Abstract:

The federal government has become less controllable by the authorities and less effective in governing due to the increased number of federal bureaucracies, programs, projects and policy experts. The federal government should downsize and concentrate on national and international issues. Domestic issues should be delegated to state and local governments. However, political powers are likely to contradict reverse revenue sharing because it reduces the political influence of organized interest groups who feel threatened by the increased government efficiency that ensues.

The assault on the First Amendment: public choice and political correctness

Article Abstract:

Humanities scholars want to inhibit the use of certain types of speech because their ideas can be easily disproven. Such undertakings can negatively affect their incomes and positions. These humanities scholars have informally aligned their activities with those of civil rights organizations because vital doctrines on civil rights are based on several ideas from the academic community. Addressing political correctness enables academics to defend their ideals.

Cable reregulation

Article Abstract:

A research study analyzes the economic implications of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. An analysis of the cable television broadcasting industry's history, including the 1984-1992 deregulation, and the act's contents and amendments prove the improbability of achieving public-interest goals. The reinstitution of rate regulation at the local level and the restrictions on ownership forms and program selection are discussed.
