From White Flight to Community Might --7. A Conclusion, or Rather, a Commencement --Notes --References --IndexA paradoxical situation emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century: the dramatic upscaling of the suburban American dream even as the possibilities for achieving and maintaining it diminished. Having fled to the suburbs in search of affordable homes, open space, and better schools, city-raised parents found their modest homes eclipsed by McMansions, local schools and roads overburdened and underfunded, and their ability to keep up with the pressures of extravagant consumerism increasingly tenuous. How do class anxieties play out amid such disconcerting cultural, political, and economic changes? In this incisive ethnography set in a New Jersey suburb outside New York City, Rachel Heiman takes us into people's homes; their community meetings, where they debate security gates and school redistricting; and even their cars, to offer an intimate view of the tensions and uncertainties of being middle class at that time. With a gift for bringing to life the everyday workings of class in the lives of children, youth, and their parents, Heiman offers an illuminating look at the contemporary complexities of class rooted in racialized lives, hyperconsumption, and neoliberal citizenship. She argues convincingly that to understand our current economic situation we need to attend to the subtle but forceful formation of sensibilities, spaces, and habits that durably motivate people and shape their actions and outlooks. "Rugged entitlement" is Heiman's name for the middle class's sense of entitlement to a way of life that is increasingly untenable and that is accompanied by an anxious feeling that they must vigilantly pursue their own interests to maintain and further their class position. Driving after Class is a model of fine-grained ethnography that shows how families try to make sense of who they are and where they are going in a highly competitive and uncertain time.California series in public anthropology ;31.Social classesNew JerseySuburban lifeNew JerseyMiddle classNew JerseyNew JerseySocial conditions21st century american culture.affordable homes.american dream.american economy.anthropology.better schools.california series in public anthropology.capitalism.class anxieties.class in america.community meetings.consumerism.cultural studies.democracy.economic changes.ethnographic research.family.hyperconsumption.middle class.neoliberal citizenship.new jersey suburb.political.public anthropology.race and class.rugged entitlement.school redistricting.security gates.suburban american dream.Social classesSuburban lifeMiddle class305.5/509749Heiman Rachel1601168MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819423503321Driving after class3924644UNINA06167oam 22013814 450 991097383060332120250426110456.0978661284327397814623890701462389074978145270567514527056749781451872590145187259397812828432711282843273(CKB)3170000000055270(EBL)1608303(SSID)ssj0000940042(PQKBManifestationID)11483766(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000940042(PQKBWorkID)10946570(PQKB)10050560(OCoLC)649718522(IMF)WPIEE2009112(MiAaPQ)EBC1608303(IMF)WPIEA2009112WPIEA2009112(EXLCZ)99317000000005527020020129d2009 uf 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrAn Alternative Explanation for the Resource Curse : The Income Effect Channel /Ali Alichi, Rabah Arezki1st ed.Washington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2009.1 online resource (26 p.)IMF Working PapersDescription based upon print version of record.9781451916898 1451916892 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; I.

Regional integration of two large open economiesThe paper provides an alternative explanation for the "resource curse" based on the income effect resulting from high government current spending in resource rich economies. Using a simple life cycle framework, we show that private investment in the non-resource sector is adversely affected if private agents expect extra government current spending financed through resource sector revenues in the future. This income channel of the resource curse is stronger for countries with lower degrees of openness and forward altruism. We empirically validate these findings by estimating non-hydrocarbon sector growth regressions using a panel of 25 oil-exporting countries over 1992-2005.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/112Resource curseEconomic developmentAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsimfBalance of paymentsimfCapital flowsimfCapital movementsimfCurrent spendingimfData AccessimfEnvironmentimfEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralimfEnvironmental managementimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfExports and ImportsimfIncomeimfInternational economicsimfInternational InvestmentimfLong-term Capital MovementsimfMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic DevelopmentimfMacroeconomicsimfMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataimfNational accountsimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfNatural ResourcesimfNatural resourcesimfNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralimfOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfNigeriaimfResource curse.Economic development.Aggregate Factor Income DistributionAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsBalance of paymentsCapital flowsCapital movementsCurrent spendingData AccessEnvironmentEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralEnvironmental managementExpenditureExpenditures, PublicExports and ImportsIncomeInternational economicsInternational InvestmentLong-term Capital MovementsMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic DevelopmentMacroeconomicsMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataNational accountsNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralNatural ResourcesNatural resourcesNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsPublic finance & taxationPublic Finance332.1Alichi Ali1816641Arezki Rabah1805364International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910973830603321An Alternative Explanation for the Resource Curse4372939UNINA
