In the American health care system the cost of health insurance is underwritten by all three sectors of the economy: 1) households; 2) employers; and 3) government. However, while costs are shared, responsibility is not. The retreat of private firms and government from assuming a substantial share of the burden of health care costs is based on the presumption that health care is an individual's responsibility, while the contributions of government and the private sector are basically optional -a matter of benevolence rather than responsibility. The outcome of the current debates over health care reform will depend on this issue of responsibility. Who should pay for health care? Is it a collective responsibility or an individual one? In this paper, we explore the economics of responsibility as it applies to health care. In the institutionalist framework, any reallocation of costs must be driven by an underlying philosophy of shared responsibility.

Media coverage of income inequality and the economic plight of the middle class fails to analyze the long-term effects of growing inequality and to consider possible solutions. The article examines the literature on media coverage of income inequality and the middle class, and then examines how three competing models, the neoclassical economic model, the propaganda model, and the institutionalist model,explain the inadequate coverage of the effects and solutions.

Revista de Economía Institucional

Professors Knoedler and Underwood discuss the concern over the decline in the number of economic majors as well as overall the enrolments in economics. For many "mainstream" economic educators this problem obey to the fact that academic economics tend to grant lower grades on average to students, or to the relaxation that business programs have in their entry requirements. The authors attribute the problem to the abstraction and the exclusion that teaching Principles of Economics has. They propose a restatement of this course using a multi-paradigmatic approach that takes into account the ideas of economic thinkers outside the mainstream. Thus, students will overcome their dissatisfaction and they will have a more realistic view of the economy, which will help them to develop and exercise their critical thinking skills.

... Business environment is the second dominant trigger of corporate restructuring (Bethel & Liebeskind, 1993;Bowman & Singh, 1993). Although performance enhancement is a profound motivation for voluntary restructuring, corporate restructuring can be forced by radical changes in business conditions, such as tax (Hoskisson & Hitt, 1990), antitrust policy (Champlin & Knoedler, 1999), or international commitment (Bleackley & Williamson, 1997). Bergh (1998) concluded that strategies of portfolio restructuring rely on the uncertainty of the market. ...

... Proponents of the left-right distinction have responded to this criticism by saying that although it is true that the dimension is too simple to capture all nuances in political differences, it is the most powerful and parsimonious way we have of classifying political attitudes (Feldman, 2003; Fuchs and Klingemann, 1990; Jost, 2006; Knight, 1999; Noël & Thérien, 2008). This is reflected not only by the fact that the left-right language is ubiquitous in all political discourse (e.g., Jennings, 1992; McCarty, Poole & Rosenthal, 2007) but also by people's willingness to place themselves on the left-right scale when prompted. Noël and Thérien (2008) reported a summary from the World Values Survey (WVS), a large international survey project covering close to eighty societies. ...

... The public interest theory is suitable for this study because it recognizes the importance of competitive bargaining for power among individuals or groups and its influence on the type of regulation that is set (Branston et al. 2006). Also, public interest theory is key factor in formulating rules and regulation, there is also problem of conflict of interest among the various groups resulting into the use of power and influence to achieve their goals (Champlin and Knoedler 2003). In practice, the pressure groups wield a great influence in setting rules and standards. ...

... In a sense, those two components of political life that social movements and media represent are new elements that define mass democracy (from the 1830s on-see Calhoun 2012), with respect to the differences that the latter establishes with modern bourgeois democracy (starting with the parliamentary system of the 14th century, and up to the late 18th century), and this shift might be best exemplified by the famous debate between Walter Lippman and John Dewey that took place in the 1920s in the United States. In a nutshell, whereas Lippman was arguing that public opinion could no longer be considered without adding to the picture the media specialists dealing with the production, reception and interpretation of news in the context of the commercial press, Dewey was arguing for grass-root politics that would garantee the sustainability of democratic practices at that level, driving media to their ultimate ends in the hands of individuals in general, and not in those of media specialists only (Lippman 1922(Lippman , 1925Dewey 1927;Champlin and Knoedler 2006). Public opinion that granted modern bourgeois democracy its watchdog, by allowing enlightened citizens to partake in a counter-power geared to Reason in the J.-F. ...
