Send us a textWhat if the very framework meant to safeguard democracy is actually undermining it? Lucas de Hart and Luke Pickerel join us from the Democratic Constitution blog and podcast, who offer a bold critique of America's constitutional framework. As members of the Marxist Unity Group, Lucas and Luke draw on the ideas of influential thinkers like Vladimir Lenin and critiques from Charles A. Beard and Robert Dahl. They urge us to reconsider the Senate's malapportionment, the presidency's expansive powers, and the unelected nature of federal justices. Their call for a democratic constitution is both a rallying cry and a thought-provoking challenge to existing power structures.Our conversation takes you through the labyrinth of the American political system, dissecting the obstacles it poses to strategies like the popular and united front. We scrutinize the constitutional structure that incentivizes legislators to shift power toward the executive and judiciary branches. We confront liberal fears that altering the Constitution might backfire, ultimately asking whether adhering to a framework that allows for minority domination is the real threat to democracy. The episode also compares the U.S. governance model with global systems, exploring whether a shift toward models like Sweden's might offer a more truly democratic path.Peeling back the layers of America's founding myths, we examine the economic origins of constitutional flaws and how this impacts representation today. From the strategic sidelining of democratic input in foreign policy to debates on state rights and American identity, Lucas and Luke guide us through a critical analysis of the Constitution's role in both preserving and challenging democratic ideals. As we question the foundation of the American republic, we invite you to ponder the universal struggles of maintaining democratic principles and the potential paths toward a more equitable future.

Power. What is it? Political theorist Robert Dahl gave one example. He said, “A has power over B to the extent that he can get B to do something that he would not otherwise do.” Why is it that often that those who are on top are the wrong people? The high rollers and the nabobs lust for power behind a smokescreen of homilies about doing good. Today, more and more power is concentrated in the hands of the few, thus weakening democracy. Who wields it? How is it allocated? What are effective ways to ensure power is not abused and serves the societal greater good? How can we organize and protect ourselves from those seeking personal power and profit? How can we get the right people on top?

In unserer neuen “Pricing Friends” Episode dreht sich alles rund ums Thema Erdbeeren – passend zum Start der Erbeersaison. Gemeinsam mit Robert Dahl, Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Karls Erlebnishof, spricht Sebastian über die Gründungsgeschichte und das Geschäftsmodell von Karls, die Preisstrategie in den Freizeitpark sowie über die Faktoren von denen der Erdbeerpreis abhängig ist. Robert teilt spannende Einblicke zur Preisgestaltung sowie seine Ansätze zur Unternehmensentwicklung. Möchtet Ihr wissen, wann die beste Zeit ist, um Erdbeeren zu kaufen? Oder welcher Tag sich am besten für einen Besuch im Freizeitpark eignet? Interessiert Ihr Euch für die Vielfalt der Erdbeersorten oder die bürokratischen Hürden bei der Eröffnung eines Freizeitparks in den USA? Vielleicht habt Ihr Euch auch schon immer gefragt, wo der Bruder von Bibi Blocksberg steckt? Testet Euer Wissen in unserem kurzen Erdbeer-Quiz und erhaltet Einblicke in die einzigartige Erfolgsstrategie von Karls Erlebnishof. Über den Gast:  Robert Dahl, Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Karls, einem einzigartigen Unternehmen, das von einem einfachen Erdbeerstand zu einer umfassenden Freizeitparkkette gewachsen ist. Mit einer Ausbildung im Obstbau und einer tiefen familiären Verbundenheit zur Landwirtschaft, erlangte Robert Dahl fundiertes Wissen über Agrarwirtschaft. Seine Leidenschaft für Erdbeeren wurzelt in der Kindheit und dem Erbe seines Großvaters, der den Familienbetrieb 1921 gründete. Unter Roberts Führung hat sich Karls nicht nur als Marktführer im Erdbeeranbau etabliert, sondern auch als Ort, an dem die Besucher:innen einzigartige Erlebnisse rund um das Thema Erdbeeren genießen können. Zusätzlich zu seinem Engagement im Familienunternehmen studierte er Polnisch an einer katholischen Universität in Polen. Inspiriert von der unternehmerischen Tradition seiner Familie und einer starken Vision für moderne Freizeitparks, hat Robert Karls zu einer national anerkannten Marke gemacht, die für ihre innovativen und familienfreundlichen Angebote bekannt ist.

Als am 23. März Karls Erlebnis-Dorf in Döbeln erstmals öffnete, endete gleichzeitig eine lange Vorgeschichte. Fast zehn Jahre hat es gedauert vom Bekanntwerden erster Ideen bis zu dem Moment, als Robert Dahl das symbolische rote Band am Eingang des neuen Freizeitparks zerschnitt. Im Podcast "Thema in Sachsen" erzählt der Gründer und Geschäftsführer des Unternehmens, das hinter der großen Erdbeer- und Erlebniswelt von Karls steht, wieso er unbedingt in Sachsen etwas aufbauen wollte. Dahl nennt eine ganze Reihe von Gründen - und den sicher auch entscheidenden: "Die Sachsen sind schon seit jeher für uns eine große Fangruppe." Und ohnehin habe er nie Zweifel an diesem Schritt gehabt. Er sei auch überzeugt, dass sein Unternehmen, das wie er selbst für eine weltoffene Haltung stehe, nach Sachsen passe. Mit Blick auf die bevorstehende Landtagswahl in sechs Monaten ist er sich zudem sicher: "So eine Haltung in das Land zu tragen, kann auf keinen Fall schaden." Schließlich beschreibt der Unternehmer den langen Weg von der Idee zum fertigen Erlebnis-Dorf in Döbeln und dass es so manche unvorhersehbare Überraschung gab. Zum Beispiel das Aus des ursprünglichen Plans, in Bannewitz in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Dresden bauen. Das Vorhaben scheiterte. "Das war wirklich ein trauriger Moment", erzählt Dahl und erklärt, wieso er mit Döbeln jetzt aber umso glücklicher ist. In dem Podcast geht es aber nicht nur um die neue Döbelner Erlebniswelt, sondern auch um die Geschichte hinter der Marke Karls. Was war ausschlaggebend dafür, dass aus einem einfachen Landwirtschaftsbetrieb ein Millionenunternehmen geworden ist? Und wie wichtig ist bei aller Euphorie um die Freizeitanlagen eigentlich noch das Kerngeschäft, also der Anbau und Verkauf von Erdbeeren? Die kurze Antwort darauf wäre: sehr wichtig! Die ausführliche gibt es in dem rund 60-minütigen Interview ... Außerdem Schwerpunkte des Gesprächs: - Was ist neu im Döbelner Erlebnis-Dorf? - Wie kann Karls seine Ticketpreise verhältnismäßig niedrig halten? - Wie sucht, findet und bezahlt Karls für die Erdbeerernte Erntehelfer? - Wieso baut Karls kein Bio-Sortiment auf? - Wo will Karls nach Döbeln das nächste Erlebnis-Dorf aufbauen?

1921 gründet Karl Dahl einen Gemüsehof in Rostock. 100 Jahre später ist daraus eine Erlebnispark- und Tourismus-Brand entstanden: Karls Erdbeerhof, benannt nach dem Großvater des heutigen Inhabers Robert Dahl. Im Gespräch mit Philipp Westermeyer erklärt der Erdbeer-König was alles zum Imperium gehört, wie das Geschäft der Erlebnisparks funktioniert und wie sein Team rund 200.000 Newsletter-Abonnenten bespielt. OMR-Podcast-Host Philipp Westermeyer hat das Interview mit Robert Dahl im Juni 2020 geführt. Für unsere Serie “OMR Classics” haben wir diese Folge nun neu aufgelegt, weil wir glauben, dass sie noch immer relevant für Euch sein könnte. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

This week, we're handing the microphone to Penn State student Joey Picarillo for an interview about the rise and fall of early democracies and what lessons we can learn from them today. Joey is a studying political science at Penn State World Campus and has already read many of the most influential books on democracy by Robert Dahl and others. He brought this book to our attention and did a wonderful job with the interview. Historical accounts of democracy's rise tend to focus on ancient Greece and pre-Renaissance Europe. The Decline and Rise of Democracy by David Stasavage draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richer—democratic practices were present in many places, at many other times, from the Americas before European conquest, to ancient Mesopotamia, to precolonial Africa. Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourished—and when and why they declined—can provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but also about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future. Stasavage is the Dean for the Social Sciences and the Julius Silver Professor in NYU's Department of Politics and an Affiliated Professor in NYU's School of Law. The Decline and Rise of Democracy: A Global History from Antiquity to Today

Andy Schmoochler did not disappoint in this interview, where he touched on secession from a perspective that will make everyone think. Dr. Andy Schmookler, an award-winning author and former Democratic candidate for Congress, was interviewed on the topic of the right of secession and its historical and modern implications. Schmookler's main argument in his piece "The Right of Secession" is that the Southern states behaved illegally during the Civil War era by seceding without adhering to constitutional processes. He calls this an example of "lawlessness" at the heart of the Confederacy. The interview explores the recurring pattern of such lawlessness, connecting it to contemporary issues like the refusal to accept election outcomes. Schmookler suggests that the same spirit that led to the Civil War has manifested itself in modern political scenarios, such as the 2020 election. Schmookler also discussed his second article, which argues that the Confederacy was fundamentally about the enslavement of Black people, debunking the "Lost Cause" narrative that suggests states' rights were the primary issue. Towards the end, the conversation turns to broader themes of power dynamics in society. Schmookler posits that political battles essentially boil down to two approaches: one where the few tyrannize the many, and another where the few are empowered by the many to serve them. The discussion between Dr. Andy Schmookler and the host delves deep into the idea that the lawlessness that fueled the Confederacy in the 19th century continues to influence American politics today. Schmookler is clear that secession as carried out by the Southern states was unconstitutional, a point he stresses to underline the inherent defiance of law in the act. By bringing this up, he draws a parallel to current events, like the challenges to the 2020 election, which he argues emanate from a similar spirit of lawlessness. This is especially relevant in a time when some political factions have shown willingness to challenge the fundamentals of democratic governance. The interview also debunks the myth that the Confederacy was mainly about states' rights and not the perpetuation of slavery. This is an essential counter-narrative to the "Lost Cause" mythology that has been perpetuated for over a century. As per the Southern Poverty Law Center, the "Lost Cause" has been a key tool in establishing systemic racism and must be combated to truly understand the Confederacy's raison d'être. Schmookler's broader view on power dynamics aligns well with progressive theories that question the status quo of power being concentrated in the hands of a few, often at the expense of the many. This perspective echoes some of the cornerstone works in political science, such as Robert Dahl's "Who Governs?", that call for a more democratic distribution of power. By tying the lawlessness of the Confederacy to current forms of anti-democratic behavior and linking it to broader themes of power imbalance, the discussion lays out a compelling framework for understanding some of today's most pressing political issues. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/support

Schlagzeilen über Schlagzeilen und Verena als potenzielle Vorstandsvorsitzende des Deutschen Startup Verbandes mittendrin. Die Wahl ist zwar noch ein paar Monate hin, aber trotzdem ist medial schon ordentlich was los. Während Verena anfängt sich auf ihre mögliche Rolle vorzubereiten und sich nicht nur dank ihrer neuen Haarfarbe so frisch fühlt, krempelt Lea ihr Zuhause um.. Ihr Vorbild dabei? Marie Kondo und die Frage, ob ihr diese eine Bluse wirklich Freude bereitet oder lieber doch ein neues Zuhause finden sollte. Und apropos neue Kapitel! Endlich steht der Sommer vor der Tür und das heißt vor allem eins: Es ist Erdbeerzeit. Wie macht man aus Erdbeeren ein Erlebnis und transformiert einen Obsthof zu einem Freizeitpark? Für die Frage könnte es keinen passenderen Gast geben als Robert Dahl, Erdbeerbauer und Geschäftsführer hinter den Karls Erlebnis-Dörfern. Dass Lea und Verena schon lange Fans von Karls sind, ist kein Geheimnis. Am liebsten würden sie alles kaufen - die Marmelade, die Plüschtiere und das unbeschwerte Lebensgefühl gleich mit. Deshalb sprechen die beiden heute mit Robert Dahl darüber, wie er das Unternehmen seines Opas Karl mithilfe eines handgeschriebenen Businessplans seines Vaters transformiert hat. Robert verrät, warum Karls so gut funktioniert und vieles mit sprudelnden Ideen, Bauchgefühl und Trial-and-Error zu tun hat. Was hat er aus Flops gelernt? Warum muss man Ideen auch mal verwerfen? Warum fällt es ihm so schwer, nein zu sagen? Und was schätzt er am Unternehmertum am meisten? Begonnen hat alles mit dem Verkauf von Obst auf Karls Erdbeerhof in Rövershagen, mittlerweile existieren fünf Erlebnis-Dörfern und weitere kleinere Standorte in ganz Deutschland. Wie entwickelt man sich trotzdem stetig weiter? Robert will vor allem eins: auf einen Ort zurückschauen zu können, der nicht nur für Familien ein Ort voller Spaß, Freude und Erdbeeren ist. Vielleicht betreiben Lea und Verena in einem alternativen Universum auch einen Erdbeerhof oder haben zumindest eine andere Studienrichtung eingeschlagen. Gemeinsam gehen die beiden also der Frage nach, was sie heute anders machen würden und haben auch direkt ein paar spannende Studiengänge dabei. Warum spielt auch das menschliche Umfeld in der Studien- bzw. Ausbildungswahl eine Rolle? Wie wichtig ist netzwerken in der Uni? Und warum sollte man sich nicht vom eigenen Umfeld einschränken lassen? Lea und Verena wissen vor allem eins: Die Entscheidung ist nicht endgültig! Hier findet ihr unsere aktuellen Werbepartner: https://linktr.ee/fastandcuriouspodcast 00:00:53 Im “Catchup” erzählt Verena von ihrer neuen potenziellen Rolle beim Deutschen Startup Verband, Lea lässt ihren Strategietag bei 10morein Revue passieren und verrät, warum sie Marie Kondo verfallen ist. 00:12:24 Im “Deep dive” geht es um die Achterbahnfahrten, die das Leben eines Erlebnis- und Familienunternehmers mit sich bringt mit Robert Dahl. 00:47:00 Bei “Meine Gründerfrage” beantworten Lea und Verena die Frage, welche Studienwahl sie heutzutage treffen würden.

He wrote many seminal books including Polyarchy, Who Governs, and On Democracy. This conversation discusses many of Dahl as a theorist and as a person. Many of his ideas are put into the context of his time and explain why they remain relevant for today. Jeffrey Isaac was the last PhD student Robert Dahl supervised. He knew him personally and has studied his work closely. He is the James H. Rudy Professor of Political Science at Indiana University, Bloomington. Many know him for the time he served as Editor in Chief of Perspectives on Politics from 2009-2017.This conversation will leave out much about Robert Dahl. It's not meant to explore every nuance or idea. Instead, it brings those ideas to life through someone who knew him well. This is the first part in a series of bonus episodes that introduce important democratic theorists through people who have studied them closely and when possible knew them well.

Achen and Larry Bartels | Guest's latest book: Controlling Corruption _______________ My guest in this episode is Bo Rothstein, one of the world's leading researchers in the field of Quality of Government (QoG). He was for most of his career professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg, in Sweden, with a brief tenure at the University of Oxford. In 2004, he founded, together with Sören Holmberg, the Quality of Government Institute, which has since become the world's main research centre studying how political institutions of high quality can be created and maintained. This was a fascinating conversation. We started by discussing the puzzle of why democracy is not enough to ensure good governance. This happens, according to Rothstein and other authors, because these two dimensions of the political system are very different in nature. Democracy refers to the input side of politics (how political power is accessed), whereas QoG refers to the output side, that is, the way that political power is exercised. So while democracy may enable voters to select politicians and policies that adequately reflect their concerns, that is not, by itself, sufficient to guarantee that those policies will be enacted effectively and without improper behavior.  This led us to the question of how to define QoG? One of the most influential definitions in the field was proposed by Rothstein himself, together with Jan Teorell, and defines QoG as having to do with the extent to which the government operates impartially. This concept is closely related to (absence of) corruption, but is broader than that. In practice, for a state to act impartially means that the use of public authority is not influenced by anything from bribes, political affiliation, personal connections, or prejudices based on factors such as race, ethnicity, or gender. Rothstein's idea is clearly persuasive (and he will explain it better than I). But other authors have proposed alternative definitions, which we also discussed. One of them is that of state capacity. Some authors point out that it is not enough that public officials act in a proper way. In order to be able to implement public policies, the state also needs resources, such as infrastructures, adequate information and a body of qualified and motivated civil servants. Other authors, such as Francis Fukuyama, emphasize the importance of bureaucratic autonomy, that is the extent to which civil servants are protected from pressures exerted by politicians. And there are many other related definitions, such as the idea of inclusive institutions by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson (which we also discussed), or the definition proposed by the World Bank which goes farther (perhaps too far), encompassing the capacity of the state to implement “sound” policies.  It was a fascinating conversation, in which we covered a lot of ground on the topic of QoG. We discussed the practical effects of bad governance for citizens, the link between low QoG and populism, the puzzle of China's rise (despite its authoritarian nature and less than impartial government), whether condemnation of corruption is a human universal or depends on culture, the effect of QoG on social capital and the relation between QoG and the quality of governance in the private sector, among others. In the end, I asked my guest how we can improve democracy's ability to enhance QoG. And he has, as you will see, a very clear-cut recipe for this. Hope you enjoy our conversation -- até ao próximo episódio. _______________ Obrigado aos mecenas do podcast: Francisco Hermenegildo, Ricardo Evangelista, Henrique Pais João Baltazar, Salvador Cunha, Abilio Silva, Tiago Leite, Carlos Martins, Galaró family, Corto Lemos, Miguel Marques, Nuno Costa, Nuno e Ana, João Ribeiro, Helder Miranda, Pedro Lima Ferreira, Cesar Carpinteiro, Luis Fernambuco, Fernando Nunes, Manuel Canelas, Tiago Gonçalves, Carlos Pires, João Domingues, Hélio Bragança da Silva, Sandra Ferreira , Paulo Encarnação , BFDC, António Mexia Santos, Luís Guido, Bruno Heleno Tomás Costa, João Saro, Daniel Correia, Rita Mateus, António Padilha, Tiago Queiroz, Carmen Camacho, João Nelas, Francisco Fonseca, Rafael Santos, Andreia Esteves, Ana Teresa Mota, ARUNE BHURALAL, Mário Lourenço, RB, Maria Pimentel, Luis, Geoffrey Marcelino, Alberto Alcalde, António Rocha Pinto, Ruben de Bragança, João Vieira dos Santos, David Teixeira Alves, Armindo Martins , Carlos Nobre, Bernardo Vidal Pimentel, António Oliveira, Paulo Barros, Nuno Brites, Lígia Violas, Tiago Sequeira, Zé da Radio, João Morais, André Gamito, Diogo Costa, Pedro Ribeiro, Bernardo Cortez Vasco Sá Pinto, David , Tiago Pires, Mafalda Pratas, Joana Margarida Alves Martins, Luis Marques, João Raimundo, Francisco Arantes, Mariana Barosa, Nuno Gonçalves, Pedro Rebelo, Miguel Palhas, Ricardo Duarte, Duarte , Tomás Félix, Vasco Lima, Francisco Vasconcelos, Telmo , José Oliveira Pratas, Jose Pedroso, João Diogo Silva, Joao Diogo, José Proença, João Crispim, João Pinho , Afonso Martins, Robertt Valente, João Barbosa, Renato Mendes, Maria Francisca Couto, Antonio Albuquerque, Ana Sousa Amorim, Francisco Santos, Lara Luís, Manuel Martins, Macaco Quitado, Paulo Ferreira, Diogo Rombo, Francisco Manuel Reis, Bruno Lamas, Daniel Almeida, Patrícia Esquível , Diogo Silva, Luis Gomes, Cesar Correia, Cristiano Tavares, Pedro Gaspar, Gil Batista Marinho, Maria Oliveira, João Pereira, Rui Vilao, João Ferreira, Wedge, José Losa, Hélder Moreira, André Abrantes, Henrique Vieira, João Farinha, Manuel Botelho da Silva, João Diamantino, Ana Rita Laureano, Pedro L, Nuno Malvar, Joel, Rui Antunes7, Tomás Saraiva, Cloé Leal de Magalhães, Joao Barbosa, paulo matos, Fábio Monteiro, Tiago Stock, Beatriz Bagulho, Pedro Bravo, Antonio Loureiro, Hugo Ramos, Inês Inocêncio, Telmo Gomes, Sérgio Nunes, Tiago Pedroso, Teresa Pimentel, Rita Noronha, miguel farracho, José Fangueiro, Zé, Margarida Correia-Neves, Bruno Pinto Vitorino, João Lopes, Joana Pereirinha, Gonçalo Baptista, Dario Rodrigues, tati lima, Pedro On The Road, Catarina Fonseca, JC Pacheco, Sofia Ferreira, Inês Ribeiro, Miguel Jacinto, Tiago Agostinho, Margarida Costa Almeida, Helena Pinheiro, Rui Martins, Fábio Videira Santos, Tomás Lucena, João Freitas, Ricardo Sousa, RJ, Francisco Seabra Guimarães, Carlos Branco, David Palhota, Carlos Castro, Alexandre Alves, Cláudia Gomes Batista, Ana Leal, Ricardo Trindade, Luís Machado, Andrzej Stuart-Thompson, Diego Goulart, Filipa Portela, Paulo Rafael, Paloma Nunes, Marta Mendonca, Teresa Painho, Duarte Cameirão, Rodrigo Silva, José Alberto Gomes, Joao Gama, Cristina Loureiro, Tiago Gama, Tiago Rodrigues, Miguel Duarte, Ana Cantanhede, Artur Castro Freire, Rui Passos Rocha, Pedro Costa Antunes, Sofia Almeida, Ricardo Andrade Guimarães, Daniel Pais, Miguel Bastos, Luís Santos _______________ Esta conversa foi editada por: Hugo Oliveira _______________ Bio: Bo Rothstein is a Swedish political scientist whose research focuses on the quality of government.

En un momento de multicrisis, a la humanidad se le acumulan los retos. Salvar el planeta, reducir la desigualdad o desescalar los conflictos son algunos de los más importantes. Tanto como el reto de construir órdenes democráticos dignos de este nombre. Urge centrarnos en la búsqueda de la utopía democrática. Y no hay utopía democrática sin prácticas deliberativas, sin instituciones diseñadas para favorecerlas y sin ciudadanos dispuestos a razonar. Qué países de Latinoamérica tienen democracias más avanzadas, qué se puede aprender de sus modelos y en qué nivel de la escalera democrática se encuentran el resto de los países de la región son preguntas que hoy ponemos Bajo la Lupa. ParticipaAdolfo Garcé.  Doctor en Ciencia Política por la Universidad de la República de Uruguay (UdelaR) y profesor titular en el Departamento de Ciencia Política de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de dicha universidad. En este link puedes leer y descargar el DP Enfoque "Construir la utopía democrática": https://dialogopolitico.org/documentos/dp-enfoque/utopia-democratica/ Bajo la Lupa es un podcast de Diálogo político.

Democracy is valued by many people because it enables us to achieve freedom and political equality in addition to numerous economic and social goals. But democracy also allows us to decide from time to time by whom we wish to be governed. Through elections, we can place in office those who we expect to like and also remove from office those we do not like.Adam Przeworski argues that the essence of democracy is that it processes in relative liberty and peace whatever conflicts that arise in society. And elections are the main mechanism by which conflicts are managed. This is because elections generate temporary winners and losers designated by specific rules. Elections peacefully process conflicts when the losers do not find their defeat too painful and if they expect to have a reasonable chance of winning in the future. This also means that the winners do not inflict too much pain on the losers and do not foreclose the possibility of being removed from office.Adam Przeworski is Emeritus Professor of Politics at New York University and one of the world's foremost scholars on democracy. He has studied political regimes, democracy, autocracy, and their intermediate forms, the conditions under which regimes survive and change, as well as their consequences for economic development and income equality. His latest book is Crises of Democracy, where he discusses the political situation in established democracies, places this in the context of past misadventures of democratic regimes, and speculates on the future of democracy.

Dry Toast takes us through the requirements for a country to call itself democratic. We review the masterful On Democracy by Dr. Robert A Dahl to get an education on the history of democracy, the required criteria for an ideal democracy, the required institutions for a functional, attainable democracy and then finish off with a review of why democracy is better than other forms of government...and, as usual, he digresses just a little here and thereThe book On Democracy by Robert A DahlSupport the show

For the second episode of Season 4, Linda Greenhouse joins the pod to discuss her new book Justice on the Brink about the Supreme Court! There is no one who better understands the evolution, context, and operations of the Court than Linda. She is a Clinical Lecturer in Law and a Senior Research Scholar in Law at Yale Law School. After covering the Supreme Court for the New York Times as a reporter, she has written a frequent column for the opinion section since. In her latest book, Linda chronicles the Court with the three new Trump justices. In our discussion, we ask Linda the major questions about the Court and its future. Should the Court be public-facing and, if so, how? As the Court breaks the fourth wall, engaging fully with today's politics and polarization, is what is really on the brink the idea of a Court separate from politics? How will justices operate as the Court engages more explicitly in politics, and who are their intended audiences in their opinions and public engagements? What does this Court do next after taking on abortion and affirmative action? Are we finally at the brink?

There's been a recent flurry of articles and podcasts discussing the failure of evangelical elites, whether they have in fact failed, wondering who these so-called elites are, disclaiming that people are elites, etc. This week I look at the question of who the evangelical elite are, and whether or not they are doing a good job. I start by reprising the elite theory of E. Digby Baltzell, and also the views of others elite theorists like James Burnham, Robert Michels, C. Wright Mills, and Robert Dahl.  From this I create a definition of what an elite is and how elite power functions and apply it to America as a whole. Then I apply it to evangelicalism to show how the elites of various evangelical subdomains can be identified.Looking specifically at the group often labeled Big Eva, I name names in terms of who is doing poorly, who is doing well, and who is struggling to adapt to the times. I also examine and apply a different definition of the elite adapted from Kevin DeYoung, and discuss institutional constraints elites operate under, as well as virtues and perils of being inside vs. outside of institutions.American Reformer: The Evangelical Embarrassment Reflex - https://americanreformer.org/the-embarrassment-reflex-evangelicals-and-culture/The American Conservative: Church, State, and the Future of American Evangelicalism - https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/church-state-and-the-future-of-evangelicalism/Mark Galli on Evangelical Elites:  https://markgalli.substack.com/p/the-galli-report-100821Carl Trueman: The Failure of Evangelical Elites - https://www.firstthings.com/article/2021/11/the-failure-of-evangelical-elitesLife Books and Everything Podcast on Evangelical Elites (segments starts at 29:00) - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/life-and-books-and-everything-evangelical-elites/Mere Fidelity on Evangelical Elites - https://soundcloud.com/mere-fidelity/evangelical-elitesAmerican Affairs: E.

A har magt over B, hvis han kan få B til at gøre noget, B ellers ikke ville have gjort. Sådan, og på lignende måder, har man defineret magt fra Max Weber til Robert Dahl. Men i den antropocæne tidsalder kommer Dahl, Foucault og andre sociocentriske magttænkere til kort. Magten må gentænkes i en nymaterialistisk retning, som inkluderer både menneskelige og ikke-menneskelige agenter: I hvert fald hvis det står til dagens...

Political theorist Takis Pappas has described the formation of liberal democracy as an elite project. Its creation was dependent on the decisions of political leaders rather than the public. But over the subsequent decades the space between politicians and their constituents has grown smaller. It is now unclear whether elected officials remain political leaders or whether they simply follow the opinions of their constituents. Democracy is in the process of a transformation. Politicians have abdicated responsibility for political power to the people, but the people do not share a sense of responsibility for this newfound political power. So, everyone blames each other for political conflict, but nobody accepts the responsibility to resolve it. It is not clear anyone completely understands what democracy is or what it will become. Robert Dahl imagined the possibility of a third transformation of democracy into something deeper, thicker, and richer. But he never explained how this new sense of democracy might manifest itself. Dahl thought more about democracy than anyone has before or since. So I have searched for the next incarnation of Robert Dahl but have failed to discover her or him. These conversations are my attempt to piece together the ideas from multiple perspectives about democracy to offer an updated theory of democratic governance. Populism, of course, is the great challenge for democracy today. Many scholars have offered institutional solutions as an antidote to populism. But the challenges democracy faces are not an American problem. They exist across the globe. They persist in Presidential and Parliamentary systems. It is a deeper challenge within the demos itself. I believe democracy will inevitably overcome the populist challenge. It will emerge from this crisis stronger and healthier. Fifty years from now democracy will be different than it is today. And in five hundred years, its institutions may even be unrecognizable. But I believe the answer exists. Zizi Papacharissi has dared to imagine what our future may hold after democracy. The research for her remarkable book, After Democracy, took her around the world where she asked one hundred everyday citizens three simple questions:1. What is democracy?2. What is citizenship?3. What might make democracy better?The answers she received helped her imagine what might come after democracy. Zizi offers us a dream. She explained to me that she “wanted the book to have a dream-like feel, like a dream many people were having together or a polyphonic story they were simultaneously telling and listening to.”Zizi Papacharissi is a professor of communication and political science at the University of Illinois-Chicago. She was among the first to study social media and has shaped the scholarship on political communication on the internet. Her name is a familiar sighting in the footnotes of many of the books and articles I read. Our conversation explores the ideas in her book from many different angles. We talk about the meaning of democracy and the role of citizens. We think about how democracy might be reimagined. And she invites you to dream of what might come after democracy. NotesWebsite: www.democracyparadox.comMusic from Apes of the StateRelated ContentHélène Landemore on Democracy without ElectionsCarolyn Hendriks, Selen Ercan

The origin of the third wave of democratization is commonly dated to the Carnation Revolution in Portugal in 1974. The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated this process until about 2005 when the pace began to slow and it even began to reverse. But Robert Dahl thought about waves of democratization differently. He believed a democratic wave was more like a transformation. It was an intensification rather than a proliferation of democracy.Dahl allows us to interpret the current rise of populism around the world not as a rejection of democracy, but as a challenge as democratic governance and ideals continue to evolve and transform. Or as Hélène Landemore puts it, “What you call the “crisis” of democracy can also be read as the growing pains of a system trying to adjust to the constraints of a globalized economy, an interconnected world, and rising democratic expectations.”Hélène Landemore offers an alternative approach to imagine democratic governance. It is a democracy without elections or politicians. She calls it an Open Democracy. It relies on representative assemblies where members are selected through lottery kind of like a jury. Her approach encourages deliberation among ordinary citizens who better represent their communities and societies.Many advocates have already embraced this novel approach. and it has already used in limited ways. We talk quite a bit about political theory, but also some real-world applications of these ideas. Indeed, Landemore has found inspiration in many of these examples like the constitutional assembly in Iceland or France’s citizen assembly on climate change. So these mini publics offer a novel way to consider the possibilities for democratic government without elections.Hélène Landemore is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Yale University. She is the author of the book Open Democracy: Reinventing Popular Rule for the Twenty-First Century. Her research reconsiders the meaning of representation and legitimacy.Robert Dahl was unclear of what the next transformation of democracy would become. I feel the same uncertainty. But I believe Hélène Landemore challenges us to consider new experiments in democracy happening right now. So perhaps a third transformation of democracy has already begun.Related ContentCarolyn Hendriks, Selen Ercan and John Boswell on Mending DemocracyJohn Gastil and Katherine Knobloch on Citizen Initiative ReviewThoughts on Cristina Flesher Fominaya's Democracy Reloaded

There is a book that was written in 1989 called Democracy and its Critics. The renowned Robert Dahl is the author. In the book, he answers objections to critiques of democracy through a series of dialogues. One of them has stuck with me because I hear it so often: The problem with democracy is it is not democratic enough. Many of the scholars who are featured on the Democracy Paradox have ideas or plans to make democracy more democratic. Many books, articles, and podcasts focus on ways to reform or redesign institutions so they can become more democratic. For example, Ezra Klein has a popular podcast. Every week he advocates for the Senate to drop the filibuster. Sure. Let’s do it. But we are delusional if we believe democracy is one reform away from perfection. I invited Carolyn Hendriks, Selen Ercan, and John Boswell to join me because they examine democracy reform through a multidimensional lens. Rather than offering a single blueprint to redesign our institutions, they suggest we should continue to mend the damage in our existing framework. It is an achievable call to action where they raise the profile of some everyday heroes who have made positive contributions to repair the connections vital to democracy. Carolyn is an Associate Professor of Public Policy and Governance at Australian National University, Selen is an Associate Professor of Politics at the University of Canberra, and John is an Associate Professor of Politics at the University of Southampton. They are the authors of Mending Democracy: Democratic Repair in Disconnected Times.It’s always interesting when my guests are in Australia because it works best for me to call in the afternoon or evening so they can be reached the morning of the next day. This conversation had an extra wrinkle because John is in the UK so we coordinated this call across three time zones on three continents. Whenever this many people are on a podcast, it can become difficult to know who says what. For that I apologize. But it was necessary. Their work was a collaborative effort. Indeed, a work like theirs cannot be anything but collaborative. Their research is, in many ways, about collaboration. Our conversation will introduce some important concepts and theories about deliberative democracy. But it also offers some real-world examples. I cannot wait for you to learn about the Knitting Nanas Against Gas. They call themselves KNAG. There is so much I want to share right now. But it’s best if I relax and just let you listen.

In his recent book – ll Winds: Saving Democracy from Russian Rage, Chinese Ambition, and American Complacency (Penguin 2019) – Larry Diamond analyzes the challenges confronting liberal democracy in the United States and around the world at this potential “hinge in history”. The book outlines an agenda for strengthening and defending democracy at home in the US as well as abroad. Larry Diamond  is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University. He is also a professor by courtesy of Political Science and Sociology at Stanford. Professor Diamond has made numerous contributions to topics such as democratic development and regime change; U.S. foreign policy affecting democracy abroad; comparative trends in the quality and stability of democracy in developing countries and post-communist states; and public opinion in new democracies.In addition to serving as advisor to numerous governmental and international organizations throughout his glittering career, Prof. Diamond is also the founding co-editor of the hugely influential Journal of Democracy ."Protecting American Democracy: A Conversation with Larry Diamond" (Stanford Daily, August 2020)"Democratic Regression in Comparative Perspective", open access journal article (June 2020)"Transitions to Democracy: Toward a Dynamic Model" (Comparative Politics, Dankwart Rustow, 1970)Larry Diamond on TwitterDan Banik and In Pursuit of Development on Twitter

La vieja pero vigente proposición downsiana acerca de que informarse y participar en política implica de parte de los ciudadanos, un alto costo en términos de tiempo y de dinero frente a pingües beneficios que esto reporta; caracteriza la realidad de un régimen, el democrático, cuyo acceso al poder se basa en la competencia en un mercado electoral por el voto del pueblo. Lo anterior demarca que captar la atención de los ciudadanos tiene un alto costo que es, en su mayoría, transferido directamente a los políticos; el hecho de que el individuo común tenga ocupaciones y temas “más importantes” que atender los diversos asuntos políticos (aunque la política misma lo afecte en todas las dimensiones de su vida) ha derivado que el funcionamiento de las poliarquías o democracias a gran escala como las denominaba Robert Dahl, se basen fundamentalmente en la distribución de recursos económicos para la promoción de partidos, políticas, instituciones y captar, sobre todo, el voto. Sin embargo, a la par de que todos tenemos distintas capacidades cognitivas que nos condicionan en nuestra manera de funcionar en una democracia; la desigualdad también es equiparable cuando alguien decide participar en política, no todos tenemos los mismos recursos. En este sentido, “el régimen democrático es el único arreglo institucional que se funda en la idea de que la política debe regular el dinero para garantizar el equitativo peso político de todos los ciudadanos en las decisiones públicas”. Esto no es fácil, la democracia debe de lidiar con el afán de muchos de penetrar su funcionamiento con dinero ilegal o con flujo de dinero ilegal; dinero que busca beneficios particulares: contratos de gobierno, permisos diversos, acceso para influir en una regulación institucional favorable; con desvío de recursos gubernamentales para apoyar a candidatos oficiales (o no) en las campañas electorales. El problema pues, se bifurca: 1) ¿Cómo hacemos en un régimen democrático para que los que no tienen dinero cuenten con el financiamiento necesario y justo para acceder a la contienda electoral en igualdad de oportunidades? y 2) ¿Cómo ponemos diques al financiamiento ilegal y el gasto ilegal en las campañas electorales, el desvío presupuestario, el enriquecimiento ilícito y el manejo discrecional de los presupuestos públicos? En #ERIZOPodcast queremos discutir con ustedes estas interrogantes. Reflexionar sobre el financiamiento de la política es en sí mismo una reflexión sobre la democracia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/erizopodcast/message

Vom Bauernhof zu einem der größten Betreiber von Freizeitparks in Norddeutschland: Robert Dahl hat mit seinen „Erdbeerhöfen“ und Erlebnis-Dörfern eine Erfolgsgeschichte geschrieben. Millionen Menschen besuche jedes Jahr „Karls Erdbeerhöfe“, „Erlebnis-Dörfer” und Freizeitparks, auf seinen Feldern erntet das Unternehmen über 8000 Tonnen Erdbeeren. Die Corona-Krise bremste Dahl brutal aus – aber stoppte ihn nicht. Wie seine Höfe und Parks auch mit Masken wieder laufen, warum er an seiner 100-Millionen Investition in ein „Erdbeerland“ festhält – und warum er sich etwas mehr Nüchternheit in der Corona-Debatte wünscht, erzählt er in dieser Folge.***Die heutige Folge von „Die Stunde Null“ wird Ihnen präsentiert von unserem Partner DATEV. Die Genossenschaft ist nicht nur Spezialist für Software und IT-Dienstleistungen für Steuerberater, sondern auch für Unternehmer. Gerade jetzt informiert und unterstützt DATEV gemeinsam mit den Steuerberatern ganz nach dem Motto "Corona gemeinsam bewältigen".

The seventh episode of the Democracy Paradox focuses on the secondary effects of direct democracy with Joshua (Josh) J. Dyck and Edward (Ted) L. Lascher, Jr. Their recent book Initiatives without Engagement: A Realistic Appraisal of Direct Democracy’s Secondary Effects. Typically, initiative referendums are discussed as a philosophical component of direct democracy. Josh and Ted focus on empirical data to show how initiatives have secondary effects with negative consequences. It is a distinct look at a topic many of us (falsely) believe we fully comprehend. The podcast examines the three key findings of their research in the book, but extends to many larger big picture topics. We discuss Brexit, Switzerland (including their failure to extend the franchise to women until 1971), and I even find a way sneak Robert Dahl into the conversation. Our conversation engages with core issues of politics including democracy, institutions, and even the rights of minorities. Take the time to visit my blog at www.democracyparadox.com. I have written 70 reviews of both classic and contemporary works of political science with an emphasis on democracy. This week I reviewed Antonio Gramsci's Selections from Political Writings 1921-1926. Please visit the website and read my book reviews. And don't forget to subscribe to keep up with future episodes.

„Erdbeer-Imperium“, „das Apple der Erdbeeren“, „Erdbeer-Ikea“ – an Vergleichen der Superlative mangelt es der Unternehmensgruppe rund um Karls Erdbeeren und Robert Kahl, Chef in dritter Generation, wahrlich nicht. Das Beeindruckende an den Gleichnissen: Sie treffen den Nagel auf den Kopf. Denn ein Ende der Erfolgsgeschichte, die eher zufällig mit ein paar aus der Not gebauten Verkaufsbuden in Erdbeer-Optik nach der Wende so richtig an Fahrt aufnimmt, scheint noch in weiter Ferne zu sein. 150 Millionen Euro Umsatz hatte Dahl für das laufende Jahr angepeilt. Das dürfte dank Corona aller Wahrscheinlichkeit zwar nach nichts werden, trotzdem ist der Erdbeer-König aber guter Dinge. Warum, erzählt er im aktuellen OMR Podcast. Alle Themen des Podcasts mit Robert Dahl im Überblick: Erlebnisdörfer, Hotels, Millionen-Investitionen – Das gehört alles zum Wie dank eines Austauschjahres von Robert Dahls Schwester in England durch Zufall die berühmten Erdbeer-Verkaufsbuden geboren wurden Für 2020 waren eigentlich 150 Millionen Euro Umsatz geplant So relevant sind die kleinen Verkaufsbuden in Erdbeeroptik für das Unternehmen Hat Karls mal über eine Produkterweiterung nachgedacht? Wieso verkauft das Unternehmen außerhalb der Erdbeer-Saison keine anderen Produkte aus den Buden? Bis heute gehört Karls zu 100 Prozent Robert Dahl. Deshalb hat er bis heute keine Investoren mit ins Boot geholt Wie das Konzept der Erlebnisparks funktioniert – und wie die Idee dazu entstanden ist Von der Traktorbahn zur „Fliegenden Kuh“ – Deshalb liebt Robert Dahl die Freizeitpark-Branche 5,5 Millionen Besuchen pro Jahr: Weshalb verlangt das Unternehmen keinen Eintritt in die Parks? So teilt sich der Umsatz des Unternehmens auf Über Parallelen und die Freundschaft zum Erdbeerhof Glantz in Delingsdorf bei Hamburg Denkt Robert Dahl Karls als digitale Plattform? 200.000 Newsletter-Abonnenten, sieben Mailings pro Woche – So funktioniert ein CRM für Erdbeeren So schwierig waren die ersten Corona-Wochen für Karls und so läuft es heute Wie kam es zu den Plänen einer eigenen Bahn-Haltestelle beim Erlebnisdorf in Rövershagen? Weshalb überträgt Robert Dahl das Geschäftsmodell nicht auf andere landwirtschaftlichen Produkte wie beispielsweise Äpfel? Diese Parks schätzt Freizeitpark-Fan Dahl besonders So geht Robert Dahl mit Kritikern um Über klare Positionierung gegen Rassismus Wie viel ist die gesamte Unternehmensgruppe wert? Und würde Robert Dahl bei einem attraktiven Angebot verkaufen? Welche Pläne hat Dahl noch für Karls? Robert Dahl und sein Sohn sind große Fans von Fynn Kliemann

Aber Trump als amerikanischer Präsident spielt auch eine Rolle, weil Trump sich von den Russen in Sachen Weltraumtransport unabhängig machen will. Karls Erdbeerhof: Der Beitrag kommt aus der Provinz und es geht nicht um künstliche Intelligenz oder um die neusten Trends in der Robotik, sondern um Erdbeeren. Wie wird aus einen profanen Erdbeerhof ein kleiner Touristikkonzern? Robert Dahl von Karls Erdbeerhof und man braucht viele Ideen und Kreativität, um diese Entwicklung erfolgreich zu gestalten. Wir bei den Zukunftsmachern begleiten Robert Dahl auf diesem Weg. Deutschlands nächste Jahre: Was passiert, wenn man den Begriff Deutschland die nächsten Jahre eingibt. Man stellt sich die Frage, wie Deutschland das Ende der Seidenstraße nutzen kann. China will seine Güter über die Seidenstraße senden und da hätte Deutschland eine zentrale Rolle, denn dann wäre Deutschland das Einfallstor nach Zentraleuropa. Wir könnten aber auch unsere technischen Kompetenzen nach China verkaufen. Technologie-Trends aus der Zukunftsfabrik der USA: Der Fernsehkanal für Junge vom öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk: Funk hat einen Beitrag über die Technologietrends aus dem Silicon Valley gemacht. Der Beitrag schwankt ein zwischen Zukunftsbesoffenheit und soziologischer Technikkritik, aber der Beitrag liefert einen schönen Überblick über die zentralen Technologiethemen in Kalifornien. Selbstfahrende Autos und künstliche Intelligenz in der Medizin sind die zentralen Themen bei den Unternehmensgründern in Silicon Valley, sehr wahrscheinlich sehen wir diese Technologien in wenigen Jahren in Deutschland. Innovator Dilemma: Der amerikanische Professor Clayton Christinsen beschrieb in seinem Buch (The Innovators Dilemma) wie selbst große und etablierte Unternehmen in einem Innovationsprozess untergehen. Sukzessive ersetzen kleine Start ups einzelne Erlösströme von großen Unternehmen, weil eben diese Start-ups diesen Kernprozess besser und kostengünstiger anbieten können. Wenn mehrere Start-ups dieses Prinzip anwenden, dann fallen langsam aber sicher alle Erlösmodelle eines großen Unternehmens weg und gehen pleite. Das haben die klassischen Zeitungen in den letzten Jahren erlebt und dieser Prozess steht den Banken gerade vor. Diese Episode wird unterstützt von der New Design University (NDU).

David Kinkead (Queensland) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (23 April, 2014) titled "What's the Problem with the Boundary Problem?". Abstract: Democracy begins with the people; democratic theory simply presupposes them. But democratic theory is silent on who ought be included amongst the people. It can’t, because any democratic process first requires the identification of some determinate group of agents - the demos - in order to act democratically. So how should the demos be defined? It can’t be done democratically because that would require the identification of some prior demos to decide this question, and an infinite regress of who should vote on who should vote ensues. The question of who is logically and temporally prior to the question of how and what. Yet who the people are is also a fundamental driver of what they decide. Drawing borders in one location will lead to different political outcomes had those borders been drawn somewhere else. Denying a voice to outsiders affected by some policy, intentionally or otherwise, violates a key principle of justice. For accounts of democracy that rely on the quality of decisions or outcomes to justify the authority of the state, this presents a major challenge. This problem has become known as the Boundary Problem of democratic theory. First raised by Robert Dahl in 1970, the Boundary Problem has increasingly been recognised to pose an intractable challenge to justifications of democracy, one that cannot be addressed from within democratic theory itself. Yet despite the growing awareness of the Boundary Problem and it’s implications, literature on the specific conditions under which it arises, or which accounts of democratic legitimacy it challenges the most, is largely non-existent. A key factor contributing to the paucity of research on the problem is its counter-factual nature and associated lack of empiric data from which to make observations. In this paper, I attempt to overcome these methodological obstacles by taking a generative approach to political philosophy. Using mathematical modelling and computer simulation, I demonstrate that the Boundary Problem primarily affects certain types of democratic accounts that rely on difference making claims, and show how the clustering of agents and beliefs across and within polities plays a critical role in its manifestation.

Hur vet man att demokrati råder? Vilka förutsättningar krävs för att demokratisk legitimitet ska säkerställas? Genomgång med professor Ludvig Beckman, med en oundviklig stopptur vid Robert Dahl och hans klassikerverk "Demokratin och dess antagonister". 

Robert Dahl ist der Gründer von Karls Erdbeerhof. In Berlin kennt man die süßen Erdbeerhäuschen, die überall in der Stadt stehen und die leckersten Erdbeeren der Saison verkaufen. Doch das ist nur die Eintrittskarte in ein riesiges riesiges riesiges Erdbeerimperium. Die Brand Eins beschrieb Karls als das Apple unter den Erdbeeren, Die Zeit nannte es eine Art Erdbeerikea – denn neben den süßen Erdbeerständen betreibt Robert mit seiner Familie fünf gigantische Erlebnisshöfe mit Erdbeerrutschen, einer Erdbeerachterbahn, Hotels gibt es auch und demnächst kommt noch eine Gummibärchen-Fabrik dazu. Über 5000 Mitarbeiter hat Robert und bezeichnet sich selbst aber zurückhaltend als Obstbauer. Wir sprechen über den Aufbau von Karls, über seine Vision und seine Werte. Wie behält er in so einem große Unternehmen den Überblick, wie schafft er es loszulassen, wo kommen die viele Ideen her, wie hält er die Firma frisch? karls.de instagram.com/matzehielscher Der heutiger Unterstützer ist wieder Heineken.

In episode 8 of the Bally Alley Astrocast, Paul, Michael and I review the 4K Blast Droids cartridge that Esoterica released in 1983. This game was written by Dan Drescher, and J.P. Curran. We also review the BASIC game Haunted House released by New Image in 1981. Paul and I discuss the contents and programs included in the August and September 1979 issues of the Arcadian newsletter. We also read feedback from Arcadian readers that sent letters and postcards to Bob Fabris concerning the July 1979 survey question that asked if users would purchase a third-party keyboard and RAM upgrade. Lastly, we cover about ten letters that cover general topics that were sent to the Arcadian from late July to September 1979.

Haunted House "AstroBASIC" Instructions Treasures of Cathy ("AstroBASIC" Program) - This programs, by John Collins, seems like a fairly complex dungeon-crawler type game. The Crown of Zeus by Todd Johnson - This game is probably the most RPG-like game on the Astrocade. It is for AstroBASIC only. It takes you to a dark decaying castle in the evil land of Sorom. You've been asked, as the best warrior in the land of Beekum, to retrieve the Crown of Zeus which the Scromites have stolen. The crown, when worn, gives the wearer the awesome ability to cause anything he or she wishes to vanish. Apparently the Scromites have not yet discovered the crown's powers. But as you hid in the forest outside the castle, you saw a troop of orcs from the warring land of Machor slip in through the front gate. They surely know the power of the crown and will have to be dealt with... Arcadian Newsletter Arcadian 1, no. 9 (Aug. 18, 1979): 69-76. - The ninth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10 (Sep. 31, 1979): 77-84. - The tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10a (Sep. 31, 1979): 80a. - A supplemental page to the tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. TV Output Notes by Marc Calson (possibly a misspelling of Mark Carlson). - The four pages of this document were created using the output of a short 10-line, BASIC program. Whoever sent this document to Bob methodically noted down four sets of numbers for each ASCII character. I can't say that I understand the listed decimal number information, but it seems to nicely supplement the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian's music coverage from Robert Hood (American Concert Frequencies) and the second part of Chuck Thomka's music tutorial, The Music Synthesizer. Hit the Pedestrian by Sebree's Computing (Timothy Hays) - This is a hand-written type-in program listing for Bally BASIC. Typed instructions are included. This program has not be digitally archived. Pictures of the Viper RAM Expansion - This hardware was released by Alternative Engineering. Pictures of the Keyboard for the Viper RAM Expansion Unit Aldo Trilogy by Dave and Benjamin Ibach - Three PC shareware titles for DOS released 1987-1991. These games do not run on the Astrocade. These games will run well under Windows when using a program called DOSBox (an emulator, of sorts). The games included are: Aldo's Adventure, Aldo Again, and Aldo's Assault. While these games won't run on the Astrocade, they do give a continued history of what Dave Ibach did (with his son) after he moved on from the Astrocade. The main character in this series of one-screen platform games looks suspiciously like someone named...Mario. Give these games a try-- you'll like 'em. The Bit Fidder's Corner by Andy Guevara - The Bit Fiddler's Corner is an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. The author, Andy Guevara, programmed the Machine Language Manager cartridge for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. This tutorial complements that cartridge, but has a general focus so this information can be used without reinterpretation by Astrocade assembly programmers, or those wishing to learn about the machine. The Music Synthesizer by Chuck Thomka - A tutorial on creating sound effects for the Astrocade. Black Box by B. Reany. - This Bally BASIC (300-baud) program was printed on page 74 of the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian. Black Box is a sort of Battleship game where the computer hides some "atoms" in a grid and you have to locate them. Use the diagram for clues. Space War by Dave Ibach - A 300-baud, Bally BASIC game that was printed in the September 1979 issue of the Arcadian. It's a neat idea for a two player game. Each player has a ship on one side of the screen, and can move up and down and fire at any angle. However, the ships are invisible, so you can only figure out where your opponent is when they fire a shot. XY Tutorial by Timothy Hays - A 12-page tutorial on the Bally BASIC XY command for exceptionally well controlled graphics. XY Tutorial Programs by Timothy Hays - This archive includes the Bally BASIC programs included with the XY Tutorial document. The six programs included are: 3-D Forward Simulation Above A Flat Plane, Cartesian Coordinates To XY Values Routine, Demonstration Program #2, Demonstration Program #2 (with Additions), Demonstration Program #4, and RND XY Value To Perspective Point. Responses to the Arcadian July 1979 Survey These letters relate to the programming keyboard survey on page 55 of the July 1979 issue of Arcadian. As a reminder, the survey questions were: "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with full capacity (reference page 21). Are you ready to pay $650 for it? "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with partial capacity (reference page 54). Are you ready to pay $350 for it? "Assume that we develop a keyboard that would have 16K RAM with upgrading capability of 24-plus K RAM, and some form of resident BASIC in 16K ROM, along with some features such as cassette motor control, word processing capability, etc. Are you ready to pay $350 for it? (Assuming that Bally does not produce in the same timeframe.) "A postal card with numbers down the side and yes/no opposite each is all that is necessary, but suggestions are certainly welcome. Also, tell me the model number and serial number of your machine if you haven't done so yet." Letter from Paul Zibits to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter from Kirk Gregg to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter From "Levin" to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979). Letter from M. Lewitzke to Bob Fabris. (August 2, 1979).

Letter from George Tucker to Bob Fabris. (October 16, 1979). Letters to the Arcadian Letter from Chuck Thomka to Bob Fabris. (1979, probably late January). - Chuck sent two programs with this letter: Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands and Leaning Aid for "&" Command. It seems that these two programs helped Chuck figure-out the sound capability of the Bally Arcade. He went on to use this information to write the Music Synthesizer tutorials in the July and August 1979 issues of the Arcadian. Chuck describes the printer that he uses to create the BASIC listing forms, "It actually doesn't take too long to create a form on what I use, which is a cross between a computer and a very high-speed line printer. It puts images on paper with laser optics utilizes Xerox xerographics. It's really quite an impressive machine. As an example of what can be done with it, well, if you can envision an 8 1/2" x 11" blank piece of paper and another 8 1/2" x 11" completely black piece of paper, this represents the extremes of the machine. Everything in-between (just about) can be done by this machine. That includes all different font sizes and styles, logos, lines and even signatures! All this with about the resolution of 300 dots to the inch. The speed of this machine is two full pages a second. If you wanted to print with a reduced print style and also have put two sides of data on the same side of the paper, this machine would print at equivalent speed of 36,000 lines per minute! Like I said, a very high-speed line printer!" Leaning Aid for '&' Command by Chuck Thomka. - A five-page program that is purely Chuck's own concoction. This program uses all but about 150 bytes of memory and is somewhat involved, but is informative as to the workings of all the possible '&' commands. Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands by Chuck Thomka - Submitted to Arcadian on January 5, 1979, but previously unpublished. A single-page modification to an existing Bally program which allows easy and quick changes to '&16' through '&23 commands [the sound ports]. Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age by Michael A. Hiltzik - Chuck Thomka works worked a Xerox, and he mentioned what sounds like a laser printer in his letter. This is an Amazon.com link to Dealers of Lightning, a book published in 2000. The creation of the laser printer is discussed in some detail here. It "is a fascinating journey of intellectual creation. In the 1970s and '80s, Xerox Corporation brought together a brain-trust of engineering geniuses, a group of computer eccentrics dubbed PARC. This brilliant group created several monumental innovations that triggered a technological revolution, including the first personal computer, the laser printer, and the graphical interface (one of the main precursors of the Internet), only to see these breakthroughs rejected by the corporation. Yet, instead of giving up, these determined inventors turned their ideas into empires that radically altered contemporary life and changed the world." Letter from Tracy Crook to Bob Fabris. (About 1979). - "I wanted to let you know where I am on the Bally expansion. So far, I've added 16K RAM, one serial port, two parallel ports and an ASCII keyboard. These all work very well. What has not worked so well, is some special logic used with the non-mask will direct. With this, I had hoped to use the Bally BASIC unmodified with the keyboard I added. As it is, I can input data from the keyboard under basic control (or machine language), but program entry and editing must still be done through the keypad. I can't get this to work, I guess Bally BASIC (or some other language) could be placed in RAM. A commented listing of Bally BASIC would be invaluable at this point. [...] With that info, we could tailor it a bit and put it in RAM. "At this point, I see the remainder of the expansion to be mainly a software effort, which is where I could use some help. The most important changes, I think, would be to get BASIC program storage out of internal (graphics) memory. This would greatly increase the color capabilities when using BASIC." [Note: Blue Ram BASIC does this, which is why more colors are available to this expanded BASIC.] "Another interesting possibility open by having RAM memory available is the ability to load it with data from any of the game cartridges (which were previously dumped onto a cassette tape) and then switch this memory into the bank normally signed the plug-in cartridge. This is quite easy to do. At this point the Bally would perform exactly as if you had plugged in the game cartridge that the data came from." [The Blue Ram, Viper and Lil' White RAM expansion units all allow for this.] "The end result would be that you could have the entire library of Bally games in a couple of cassette tapes. Bally might not be too wild about this idea, I assure you it would work." "In the meantime, in order to ease programming the Bally, I use another one of the microcomputers I own, which has an ASCII keyboard, to write Bally BASIC programs on and then dump them on tape in a format compatible with the Bally. Doing it off like this has some disadvantages, but it sure beats that key pad." "Haven't done much on it lately, as my Bally was struck by lightning about five weeks ago, and it still not back from the factory." Letter from Ed Mulholland to Bob Fabris. (July 1, 1979 / July 23, 1979). - In the July 1'st letter, Ed says, "The schematics to our Ballys show a 10-pin and a 26-pin port in addition to the IEEE-488 port. My machine did not have 26-pin port as shown in the photo on page 14 of the [Bally PA-1] service. This would still be only a small inconvenience because the pin numbers and functions as shown on the schematic." The second part of the letter (dated July 23) shows how the 10-wire 24-key keypad is arranged. I think that this information is meant to help explain how to wire a 63-key "full size" ASCII keyboard in parallel with the 24-key keypad. Letter from Robert Dahl to Bob Fabris. (July 29, 1979). - Mr. Dahl suggests that future issues the Arcadian leave room so that a hole punch can be used so that the issues can be stored in a binder. He says, "They are well worth saving." I agree! On July 27, Mr. Dahl received a mimeographed copy of the Hacker's Manual from Bally. He notes that they included a letter that says they do not expect the keyboard expansion to be released this year Robert Dahl notes that he was able to order the Amazing Maze/Tic-Tac-Toe cartridge from Montgomery Ward's catalog. He got the cartridge in just three days. He adds that a fellow, who sells the Arcade and its accessories, tells him that he has a standing order for all arcade items, but gets more promises than anything else from a wholesale distributor in Milwaukee. This man had been trying to get the Amazing Maze cartridge ever since he first heard about it and he had yet to get it. Mr. Dahl figures that Bally's distribution must be out of whack. Mr. Dahl has typed in various versions of Slot Machine. He talks about three that he has used comparing and contrasting differences between them. Mr. Dahl makes a comment that the Checkers game number six had him puzzled. He was expecting a regular checkerboard on the TV screen. He says that, "Right now, it's beginning to soak-in that I should take a checkerboard and number the squares and move the pieces around as the numbers on the screen direct?" [Is this accurate?!?] Letter from Andy Guevara to Bob Fabris. (July 30, 1979). - Andy Guevara wrote several programs that were published in the Arcadian and Cursor/BASIC Express newsletters. Andy programmed the Machine Language Manager, a 2K cartridge that was released in 1982 by The Bit Fiddlers. He released a few tapes, including Candy Man and Chicken, two games released on tape that were written in mostly machine language. He wrote Ms. Candyman and Sea Devil, both of which are 4K cartridges that were released 1983 by L&M Software. Mr. Guevara also wrote The Bit Fiddler's Corner, an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. Andy just received his first stack of Arcadian newsletters. He has had his Bally arcade for five months and never dreamed that so much information could be further developed. He has dumped the Baseball cartridge, and is pleased to see that other people have made ROM dumps too. Mr. Guevera is looking into expanding his internal memory from 4K to 12K of RAM with a single IC designed by Harris Semiconductor. He goes into detail about how this might work. Andy has come up with a solution for Bob to be able to print programs. He provides details and a schematic on a device that can be used that will use a UART to allow the Bally to print. Although Andy has only had his Bally Professional Arcade model BPA-1100 for five months, the innards have already had to be changed twice. Letter from Richard Dermody to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Richard's interest has been piqued by the announcement of the keyboard project. So much so, that he has already gone out and bought a keyboard for the project. He says, the "glimmer of a future for the Arcade as a computer [...] has prompted [him] to retain his [Arcade] with hopes for the future." Richard notes that while he understands the difficulties that Bally may be having with the FCC, he has noticed that other companies, such as Apple, have made significant progress in the same time period since the Arcade was first announced. Richard is on his second Bally arcade. He had to return his first one to Montgomery Ward as "it tended to self-destruct after being in operation for a while." Mr. Dermody hopes that reviews of the Bally cartridges will be in future issues. There is no local retailer for these items where he lives so his only resort is mail-order. He would like to have some idea of what he is ordering before he places an order. Letter from Guy McLimore to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Guy gives an unqualified "yes" to all the survey questions that Bob asked the previous issue of the Arcadian. Guy says that he wants and needs a keyboard badly. An interesting bit here is that Ken Ballard, the owner of ABC Hobbycraft, has commissioned a professional hardware/software man to develop a 64K keyboard memory expansion to be sold commercially. The unit is still in the planning stages, but [they] hope that it will be ready by December." This seems overly optimistic, since it is nearly August already. I don't recall ever hearing about this from any other source. It is interesting that so many people wanted to build, create or purchase a memory expansion/keyboard for their Bally unit. Guy really enjoyed Chuck Thomka's synthesizer tutorial. He found the two accompanying programs very useful. He does wonder how Bell Telephone feels about the programs, however. He notes that if you add the buttons A-D to the Touch-Tone dialer program (Touch Tone Simulate), then you have a semi-efficient Black Box for receiving free telephone calls. The Touch-Tone dialer doesn't work in Guy's local area. He thinks that Indiana Bell has an acoustical filter that prevents Touch-Tone signals from being input to the microphone from the handset. By popular demand, ABC hobby craft is now accepting mail orders for Bally hardware, W&W software, Stocker Software, and Skyrocket Software (Guy's company). Guys makes an observation about the tape quality for software that is being sold through the Arcadian classified ads. It seems that the people distributing their software on tape are using cheap tapes brands which makes loading the tapes difficult. He notes that the Dave Stocker software is also available on micro cassettes. I don't know of any other Bally software that was distributed on these tiny tapes. Guy has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of response he received to the listing of his Fantasy Games #1 package in the Arcadian. Despite the fact that it is a limited program designed only for those persons familiar with fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, the program sold remarkably well! Phenomenally well, in fact, given an audience of relatively few people. Guy will be creating programs under the name Skyrocket Software with his partner Greg Poehlein. They intend to sell software for the Bally, TRS-80 and eventually other systems. He says they won't be turning it out fast, but they will be turning it out good, paralleling Bally's own stated policy of producing fewer top quality cartridges as opposed to Atari's more is better philosophy Letter from Jeff Frederiksen to Bob Fabris. (August, 20 1979).- This letter is from Jeff Frederiksen, the chief engineer behind designing the Bally Professional Arcade hardware. It seems that this letter was accompanied by some hardware. The letter simply states: "The enclosed assemblies replace the 75361 clock driver, located in the oscillator shield. The failure of the 75361 is that the 6V high time after warm-up drops below 55ns causing the data chip to appear defective. If you do not have this sinking clock syndrome, replacement is not necessary. I hope you find the enclosed hardware description useful." Letter from Jeff Grothaus to Bob Fabris. (August 31, 1979). - Jeff is building his own cassette tape interface from the schematics on page 20 of the Arcadian and page 4 of the Bally Hacker's Manual. He has run into a few difficulties and is hoping to get some help. He also wonders if Bob knows if anyone else has created a working interface from the schematics. There's a handwritten note from Bob where he simply writes, "No." I find it interesting that Jeff is actually building his own tape interface. This interface would be of no use without the basic cartridge. At the time, I think, the tape interface was easy enough to get for $50. I wonder if Jeff was trying to save money, or if he was having difficulty finding the necessary hardware to use with Bally BASIC and a tape recorder. Letter from Karen Nelson to Bob Fabris. (September 10, 1979). - Karen is a programmer who got interested in the Bally when JS&A advertised it in Scientific American in 1977. She was told that she was one of the first people to get her hands on one. She was very excited about machines potential, but was disillusioned by the heat problems which were inherent in the first machines. She "burned out" two of the units. Just after she returned the second unit, she discovered that her programming instructor was doing the graphics for the Bally. She says, "Yes, folks, it was the infamous Tom DeFanti and his magic Z-GRASS." She knows Tom well enough to drop into his "Graphics Habitat" at the University of Chicago to talk intelligently about some of his projects. She also knows Nola Donato and a few other of Tom students who are working on projects for Bally. Tom has had the University of Chicago purchase eight Bally's and eight Sony TVs to teach students the basics of computers and programming. In August 1979, Tom was the chairman of a traffic seminar held jointly by IEEE and ACM/SIGGRAPH. For three nights, Tom and his crew presented new and interesting works in various areas of computer graphics (including a few by people using Bally Arcades). In addition to the seminar, a graphics experiment Expo was held and it was there that Karen met some of the guys from Dave Nutting, in particular Ricky Spiece (who developed the Football cartridge). Ricky was helpful and showed Karen some tricks (like the ports in BASIC), and he also demonstrated the graphics capabilities by loading a picture from a disk to a color monitor. In addition, his Bally was connected to a B&W monitor and a keyboard. His commands appeared on the black-and-white monitor, and the graphics were displayed on the color monitor. However, the whole setup was attached with the Bally board mounted in a frame, not in the case, which leads Karen to believe that some special wiring is needed. Karen describes her experimentation with the different ports available in BASIC. Karen has recently seen the pinball cartridge demoed at the graphic seminar. She says that it looks pretty good. She heard one of the Dave Nutting guys say that he had just sent the thing off to Bally and that it should be out on the market pretty soon. Karen says that there was a demo of Z-GRASS, but that she didn't get to see it. She does note that as a student of De Fanti, she learned how to program in GRASS-- Z-GRASS's daddy-- using a PDP-11/45. Karen is glad to find out that there are other people like her who think that the Bally Arcade/computer has a lot more potential than most people give it credit for. She hopes that Bob Fabris might be able to pass on some information to whoever the marketing manager at Bally is. She would like to see the Bally advertisement computer magazines such as BYTE and Personal Computing. She would like to see Bally stress that most people buy home computers for games and that Bally has terrific controls, and that by the time people become interested in programming, Bally will have add-on module available. She also says that the graphics capabilities of the Bally have no competition; they are the best, and the Arcade is dirt cheap when compared to other systems.

"The intersection of politics and policy is a lonely place," writes Senior Fellow  in her new book . In this podcast, Kamarck, founding director of the , touches on the ideas and examples in her book to explain why politics and policy have to come together for us to understand success and failure in U.S. politics. She talks about "surveying the policy battlefield" in trying to understand the complexity of change. For example, why did unpopular President Harry Truman manage to get the Marshall Plan passed "with a hostile Republican Congress," while Barack Obama, who "came into office on the heels of a robust political victory" with majorities in both houses of Congress, failed to enact climate change legislation? The conversation ranged from how FDR's social policies reflected American values, to whether the Affordable Care Act does, to the complexity and length of modern legislation, to whether or not elections matter and if mandates exist outside politician's own minds.
