The attitudes of college students toward globalization and outsourcing are an important indicator of future leaders positions. Surveys conducted over the last four years provide an insight into the current situation and changes in attitudes over time. Today, there is a great deal (over 50%) of concern among college students about the positive value of globalization and support for laws to outlaw outsourcing. This is a reflection of the current economic situation and might change. With a large (82%) percentage of students still believing that the U.S. should embrace globalization, the future situation is yet to be determined.

The Labor Board vets insisted that they were always realistic and had no ideological convictions of any kind. This chapter argues that such a characterization is not accurate. Clark Kerr, John Dunlop, and the other veterans of the board’s staff were in truth utopians—not utopians as that term is usually imagined, but liberal reformers who believed that they could transform the world over time, one step at a time. The famous German sociologist Karl Mannheim termed that mindset “liberal-humanitarian utopian.” The chapter looks back to their youth to explain how they came to that worldview and how unarticulated utopian beliefs pervaded their teaching, writing, and other work. The chapter concludes with the prediction advanced by Clark Kerr, John Dunlop, Charles Myers, and Frederick Harbison that the U.S. and Soviet systems would converge in the future--a conviction that appeared realistic in the latter 1980s and the early 1990s.

La situación laboral de un país, resulta un buen indicador práctico de su condición económica. Pero no solo eso. No se puede olvidar que las condiciones en las que se encuentre el mercado de trabajo condicionarán el nivel de recursos de los que disponga la Seguridad Social, y con ello, el futuro próximo de nuestro sistema de pensiones.

This paper analyzes with detail different problems of which currently suffers Spanish laobur market to improve the economic situation of the Social Security.

The Academy of Accounting Historians has as its motto the Latin proverb praetera illuminet postera, the past illuminates the future. It is an apt motto in many ways. Certainly, many thoughtful accounting academics and professionals will consider how accounting theory and practice have evolved over time, and thereby gain a deeper insight into how both professional and scholarly endeavors should be conducted. But this AHJ Salmagundi article suggests another way by which the past can illuminate the future. Accounting history provides concrete examples of fundamental accounting concepts. And, because many of these examples are found in scandalous, shocking, and sordid events, the lessons could be more compellingly and vividly illustrated to the audience, by the operation of the rhetorical phenomena collectively known as the Aristotelean Triad.

This paper indicates how the massive fiscal deficits financed through creation of fiat money by central banks worldwide (undertaken in response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic) may lead to either hyperinflation or stagflation. The current situation is explained to be comparable to that leading to the hyperinflation in Germany in 1923 except on a broad international scale. However, a future tightening of monetary policies to inhibit ever rising inflation rates could instead result in stagflation resembling the 1970s. Possible alternative solutions to the current economic situation are discussed.

Subject. This article explores the determinants of social responsibility of backbone enterprises. Objectives. The article aims to investigate the relationships between the socio-economic situation of the monotown where the backbone company operates, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Methods. For the study, I used a regression analysis and univariate analysis of spatial data. The rating estimates calculated using an original methodology are used as a CSR proxy (dependent variable). Results. Presenting information about the current situation of backbone enterprises and monotowns in Russia, the article reveals the existence of relationships between the backbone enterprise's affiliation to a monotown with a certain socio-economic situation and the level of corporate social responsibility. Conclusions. The situation of the backbone companies is likely to deteriorate. Increasing the level of social responsibility during a crisis seems unlikely.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the domestic and foreign policy agendas of all countries have been turned upside down. The pandemic has brought new problems and competition areas to states and to the international system. While the pandemic politically calls to mind the post-World War II era, it can also be compared with the 2008 crisis due to its economic effects such as unemployment and the disruption of global supply chains. A debate immediately began for a new international system; however, it seems that the current international system will be affected, but will not experience a radical change. That is, a new international order is not expected, while disorder is most likely in the post-pandemic period. In an atmosphere of global instability where debates on the U.S.-led international system have been worn for a while, in the post-pandemic period states will invest in self-sufficiency and redefine their strategic areas, especially in health security. The decline of U.S. leadership, the challenging policies of China, the effects of Chinese policies on the U.S.-China relations and the EU’s deepening crisis are going to be the main discussion topics that will determine the future of the international system.

Facts Between Pictographs and Photographs in Lester Beall's Rural Electrification Posters, 1937-1941

In analysing Lester Beall's posters for the U.S. government between 1937-1941, Michael Golec demonstrates the twofold character of facts in art and design appearing even when they are applied to guarantee distinct messages. Commissioned by the governmental agencies to develop a series of posters to increase the electrification of rural farms, Beall introduces pictograms in his first series to represent electrification as “facts of the future.” Its simple forms facilitate the travelling of this facts without loss of their integrity. The same holds true for the use of photographic images for the second campaign of 1939. Following the revaluation of photography as a means for the documentation of social reality, as represented by the FSA photographers under the guidance of Roy Stryker, the medium served here as the authentication of facts. Golec holds, that Beall by reducing the complexity of the photographic images, to create a pictorial integrity of his posters, even despite of the use of a seemingly documentary medium, reinforces the ambivalent factual character of the pictures. So, paradoxically by heightening the communicative character of the design and hence stressing the idea of facts as integral realities outside of artworks, Beall's posters reveal the ambiguous character of pictorial facts creating their own specific qualities. Golec concludes, that facts in works of art and design have a twofold character resulting from their belonging to different spaces, which although meant to accomplish and address different facts, inevitably travel, overlap and bleed into each other. Thus oddly these facts refer or represent reality and simultaneously are a thing made (factum) that present and hold their own pictorial reality.
