These ranged from taxpayer-financed factories, to tax exemptions, to outright gifts of money. This kind of government aid, known as "corporate welfare," is still around today. After establishing its historical foundations, James T. Bennett reveals four modern manifestations. His first case is the epochal debate over government subsidy of a supersonic transport aircraft. The second case has its origins in Southern factory relocation programs of the 1930s - the practice of state and local governments granting companies taxpayer financed incentives. The third is the taking of private property for the enrichment of business interests. The fourth - export subsidies - has its genesis in the New Deal but matured with the growth of the Export-Import Bank, which subsidizes international business exchanges of America's largest corporate entities. Bennett examines the prospects for a successful anti-corporate welfare coalition of libertarians, free market conservatives, Greens, and populists. The potential for a coalition is out there, he argues. Whether a canny politician can assemble and maintain it long enough to mount a taxpayer counterattack upon corporate welfare is an intriguing question. -- from dust jacket. 650 0 $a Subsidies $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z United States. 650 6 $a Subventions $z EÌtats-Unis. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique eÌconomique. 650 7 $a Capitalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846425 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Subsidies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136736 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Subsidies $z United States. $2 nli 651 7 $a United States $x Economic policy. $2 nli 650 7 $a Capitalism $z United States. $2 nli 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C30A01C4214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
