Consumer Movements
Consumer movements are the organized actions of individuals in pursuit of greater equality in the relationship between buyers and sellers. While consumer movements rarely resort to revolutionary violence or even civil disobedience in pursuit of their goals, these movements are engaged in life and death issues, like the safety of food, drugs, and automobiles. Consumer movements, once confined to affluent countries like the United States and Sweden…

Family Health Histories and Their Impact on Retirement Confidence
As members of the public become increasingly aware of how genetics and other family factors affect intergenerational transmission of chronic diseases, it is likely that the link between family health histories and retirement confidence will intensify

The Consumer Movement: Guardians of the Marketplace
Gone Yesterday, Here Today: Consumer Issues in the Agenda‐Setting Process
How do consumer problems become transformed into consumer issues? One view is that consumer problems go through three stages. First, they are publicized by the mass media, then they arouse public opinion, and only then are they addressed by public policymakers. A second, less unidirectional view holds that the process is sometimes reversed, with issues originating from policymakers. This article attempts to specify the media, public, and policy a…

Intervenor Funding at the FTC: Biopsy or Autopsy
Intervenor funding, an innovative method for encouraging public participation in government rule‐making, is examined by focusing on the experience of the Federal Trade Commission. The paper reviews the program's goals, the arguments of critics, and the perceptions of individuals and groups who applied for intervenor funding. The program's effects on both agency decision‐making and on the applicants themselves are evaluated
Distributional Impacts of Consumer Protection Policies: Differences Among Consumers
Developmental Recognition of Consumption Symbolism
Communicating through consumption choices involves decoding information about others based upon observations of their consumption behavior. Using photographs of automobiles and houses, the ability to recognize consumption symbolism is examined in six age groups and compared between males/females and “higher”/“lower” social-class subjects. Grade school is found to be the time during which most consumption decoding skills are attained
Toward a Sociology of Consumption
The study of some psychological processes has become the main focus of consumer research; consequently, there has been a tendency to overlook the societal context in which consumers operate. The Authors focus on several characteristics of societies which affect individual consumers, and suggest new research directions which delineate the domain of a sociology of consumption and its potential contributions to private and public policy makers
The Socially Conscious Consumer-Another Look at the Data
Several researchers have attempted to construct models of the socially and ecologically conscious consumer and subject them to empirical test, but results have been largely disappointing. The author looks at the most recent of these attempts and uses its “negative” findings to construct a model which is more sensitive to the political dimensions of consumption activities
The Origins of the American Banking Empire in Latin America: Frank A. Vanderlip and the National City Bank
The world's a battle-ground for allGo forth and conquer if you willBut if you win or if you fall,Be each, please God, a gentleman.With these ringing words, Colonel Henry L. Kincaide, at the 1913 Convention of the American Manufacturers Export Association, urged his fellow manufacturers into battle. The adversaries were England and Germany; the prize, world trade (Faulkner, 1924; Beard, 1934; Williams, 1959; LaFeber, 1963).The speech came at an op…
