Blaming the Government: Citizens and the Economy in Five European DemocraciesM.E. Sharpe, 1995 - 232 lappuses Conventional wisdom has it that the state of the economy drives public support for governments, yet the relationship between economic performance and mass opinion appears to vary in strength and direction across time and across countries. Anderson (political science, Rice U.) investigates the reasons, looking at political context to explain government support. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |

30. lappuse - I have, alas, studied philosophy, Jurisprudence and medicine, too, And, worst of all, theology With keen endeavor, through and through— And here I am, for all my lore, The wretched fool I was before.
40. lappuse - Useful, and therefore consequential, opinion is aggregate. Politicians care about the views of states, districts, areas, cities, what-have-you. Individual opinion is useful only as an indicator of the aggregate. For a politician to pay attention to individual views is to miss the main game.

It is hard for us to believe that the bleak and squalid system which we knew could, in so short a time, have adapted itself, without some covert process of total destruction and regeneration, to achieve so many desired objectives. In the early postwar period we...
23. lappuse - I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists, and that insofar as it ever did exist, it only worked on each occasion since the war by injecting a bigger dose of inflation into the economy, followed by a higher level of unemployment as the next step. Higher inflation followed by higher unemployment.

On the contrary, attacks on the economic problems are made on a number of fronts by means of differentiated measures adapted to the circumstances under which the problems occur.

50. lappuse - Lewis-Beck (1985: 9), the dependent variable, vote choice, is conceptually less ambiguous and operationally less unstable than the dependent variables one encounters in most other empirical domains of comparative politics. In other words, though measurements may differ somewhat from country to country, they are "direct" so that what is being measured has pretty much the same meaning across the several countries.
