SOCL 4421 Study Guide - Human Capital
Document Summary
1: defines class mainly as marx and smith: relations to the forces of production, which is the ownership or non ownership of capital, market position: who owns, controls, manages the big companies. If you have skills that are rare and in demand it will drive up your wage. Status: argues against marx and his followers in that he is against idea that your economic position will determine your political preferences and political action. 1: has a very radical idea that party may not really mean anything. The people do not constrain or control the leader. Once the leader has power there is no real restraint and it is essentially a regime: elections are never about rule of and for the people (democracy) it is about office and retrospective voting. Once a person is in office he can turn his back on the policies that you chose him for. Therefore retrospective voting would be punishing the republicans for.
