It is one part corporate and industrial history, using the evolution of mortgage finance as a way to understand larger dynamics in the nation's political economy. It is another part urban history, since the extraordinary success of the savings and loan business in Los Angeles reflects much of the cultural and economic history of Southern California. Finally, it is a personal story, a biography of one of the nation's most successful entrepreneurs of the managed economy -Howard Fieldstad Ahmanson. Eric John Abrahamson deftly connects these three strands as he chronicles Ahmanson's rise against the background of the postwar housing boom and the growth of L.A. during the same period. As a sun-tanned yachtsman and a cigar-smoking financier, the Omaha-born Ahmanson was both unique and representative of many of the business leaders of his era. He did not control a vast infrastructure like a railroad or an electrical utility. Nor did he build his wealth by pulling the financial levers that made possible these great corporate endeavors. Instead, he made a fortune by enabling the middle-class American dream. With his great wealth, he contributed substantially to the expansion of the cultural institutions in L.A. As we struggle to understand the current mortgage-led financial crisis, Ahmanson's life offers powerful insights into an era when the widespread hope of homeownership was just beginning to take shape. 606 $aMortgage loans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSavings and loan associations$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican Dream$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMortgage loans$xHistory 615 0$aSavings and loan associations$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican Dream$xHistory 676 $a332.3/2092 676 $aB 686 $aHIS036140$2bisacsh 700 $aAbrahamson$b Eric John$0573012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462928303321 996 $aBuilding home$92450581 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05276nam 2200733 450 001 9910453518903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4426-6478-9 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442664784 035 $a(CKB)2550000001193322 035 $a(EBL)3277462 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000717189 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12285839 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000717189 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10739938 035 $a(PQKB)10500665 035 $a(CEL)436391 035 $a(OCoLC)759950068 035 $a(CaBNVSL)slc00211077 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4669703 035 $a(DE-B1597)465424 035 $a(OCoLC)944178597 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442664784 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4669703 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11256225 035 $a(OCoLC)958514284 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001193322 100 $a20160921h19971997 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMounties, moose, and moonshine $ethe patterns and context of outport crime /$fNorman R.

The 'crimes' include acts deemed criminal by the rules and regulations of the state but not necessarily by local sentiment and acts that violate local norms but are not criminalized by the state. The descriptions of criminal activity and community sentiment are based on almost a decade of participant observation. Because the outports are so different from urban, industrial, capitalistic domains typically studied by those interested in crime, the study relates the unique expressions of outport criminal behaviour to patterns of settlement, developments in the fishery, the history of law enforcement, and cultural change.Norman Okihiro looks at crime arising from economic subsistence behaviours - hunting, gathering, and domestic production activities that have long been supported or tolerated in the outports. These include big-game poaching and the production and consumption of moonshine. These traditional activities are of particular interest because they have been subject to increasing regulation by the state, a situation that has markedly affected the way participants tailor their behaviour.Okihiro also looks at such conventional crimes as assault, theft, and domestic violence. The incidence of and behavioural patterns associated with these interpersonal crimes in the outports he finds to be the result of cultural contraints and the effective informal mechanisms of social control found in the outports.The third type of crime involves exploitative behaviour that stems from the historical and continuing state of economic vulnerability, impoverishment, and powerlessness of most outport residents. He describes the processes and tactics used by fish-plant operators, merchants, police, and outside professionals to exploit outport inequalities in power or influence, as well as the structural and cultural bases of continued tolerance of exploitation among the residents themselves.Okihiro concludes with an examination of the effect of the unprecedented collapse of the inshore fishery and the impact of subsequent government adjustment and conservation policies on the outport way of life, paying special attention to current and likely future patterns of crime and civil disorder, and offers recommendations for enlightened government policies. 606 $aRural crimes$zNewfoundland and Labrador 606 $aRural crimes$zNewfoundland and Labrador$xPublic opinion 606 $aLaw enforcement$zNewfoundland and Labrador 606 $aFishing villages$zNewfoundland and Labrador 606 $aPublic opinion$zNewfoundland and Labrador 607 $aNewfoundland and Labrador$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRural crimes 615 0$aRural crimes$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aLaw enforcement 615 0$aFishing villages 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a306.09718 700 $aOkihiro$b Norman R$g(Norman Ryukichi),$f1948-$0997808 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453518903321 996 $aMounties, moose, and moonshine$92288419 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05539nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9910961246003321 005 20251118161316.0 010 $a0-08-052656-X 010 $a9780750651035 010 $a1-282-38133-4 010 $a9786612381331 010 $a1-281-00605-X 010 $a9786611006051 010 $a0-08-048998-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000350700 035 $a(EBL)294522 035 $a(OCoLC)808614917 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000356291 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11269729 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000356291 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10350125 035 $a(PQKB)10373493 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000329505 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11912876 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000329505 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10309387 035 $a(PQKB)10677037 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC477360 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC294522 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000350700 100 $a20031117d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAdvanced concrete technology$iConstituent materials /$fedited by John Newman, Ban Seng Choo 210 $aOxford $cElsevier$d2003 215 $a1 online resource (283 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-7506-5103-2 311 08$a0-7506-5686-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $aFront Cover; Advanced Concrete Technology: Constituent Materials; Copyright Page; Contents; Preface; List of contributors; Part 1: Cements; Chapter 1.
