Proposals to end "boondoggling" in social science research are presented by the author, co-winner of the Woodrow Wilson Award for the best book in Political Science in 1963, American Business and Public Policy, and a lecturer in social science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

À partir du concept de règie morale, on proc̀ede à une déconstruction critique du récent discours environnemental axé sur l'individualisme et la gestion des déchets. Les sources analysées comprennent des emissions télévisées diffusées à la CBC telles que The Journal, Prime Time News et The Nature of Things ainsi que les programmes sco‐laires de l'Ontario. On soutient que, dans la compréhension populaire à l'égard de l'environnement, l'accent mis sur l'irres‐ponsabilite indi‐viduelle a été, de bien des façons, liéà des impératifs économiques, aux connaissances déterministes entourant l'économie mondiale ainsi qu'à la rationalité néolibérale. Par conséquent, de telles constructions contribueraient a créer un climat culturel, oú l'émergence d'un discours public critique remettant en cause les « réalités économiques » deviendrait moins probable.Making use of the concept of moral regulation, a critical deconstruction of the recent environmental discourse of individualism and waste is undertaken. Sources analysed include CBC's The Journal, Prime Time News and The Nature of Things, and Ontario curriculum guides. It is argued that the emergence in popular environmental understandings of a focus on individual irresponsibility was, in many ways, bound up with economic imperatives, deterministic understandings surrounding the global economy, and neoliberal rationality. As a result, such constructions are suggested to participate in a cultural climate where the emergence of critical public discourse that challenges "economic realities" becomes less likely.

Low-socioeconomic status (SES) groups are sometimes depicted as money wasters who live on welfare. Previous research has also found that low-SES groups are also animalized. We expand previous findings (Sainz et al., 2019) by examining the consequences that animalization has on support for social welfare policies (e.g., unemployment, housing) and governmental control of low-SES groups' spending. We explored the mediating role of perceived wastefulness (i.e., the perception that low-SES people lack the ability to properly administer their budget) in the relationships between animalization and support for welfare policies and governmental control measures. In three correlation studies, 1a to 1c, we examined the relationships between these variables in three countries: The United Kingdom, the United States, and Spain. From our results, animalizing low-SES groups seem to negatively predict support for public policies and positively predict support for governmental control via the perception that low-SES people are unable to manage their finances. Finally, in two experimental studies, 2a and 2b, we directly manipulated the humanness of a low-SES group (animalized vs. humanized) and measured its effects on perceptions of the group's wastefulness, support for social welfare policies, and support for governmental control over the group's expenses. Results indicated that animalizing low-SES groups reduced support for social welfare by activating the impression that low-SES people are poor financial managers (Study 2a), but also that animalizing low-SES groups increased support for governmental control via perceived wastefulness (Studies 2a–b). We discuss the role of animalization in denying aid to those in need.

Each item has a price, and the available amount falls short to be able to cover all the claims at the given prices. We propose several properties that may be of interest in this particular framework. These properties represent the common principles of fairness, efficiency, and non-manipulability by merging or splitting. Efficiency is our focal principle, which is formalized by means of two axioms: non-wastefulness and Pareto efficiency. We show that some combinations of the properties we consider are compatible, others are not. ; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades (MCIU) ; Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (AEI) ; European Commission PGC2018-097965-B-I00 ; Spanish Government ECO2017-86245-P ; Junta de Andalucia PAIDI SEJ426 P18-FR-2933

Since 1 July 2020, all retail businesses in Japan have been required by law to charge customers for plastic carrier bags in order to reduce the use of single-use plastic and to encourage consumers to change their lifestyles. This has resulted in more shoppers using their own bags, but has also drawn more emotional responses. This article analyses reactions to the plastic carrier bag levy in konbini (convenience stores) and discusses how it has changed customer service and shopping routines, at the same time as affecting notions of convenience, generosity, and propriety. The levy is also challenging consumers' notions of cleanliness and pollution, as the plastic bag is changing from something that can both protect its contents from dirt and pollution (as a carrier bag) and protect the environment from its dirty contents (as a waste bag) to something that in itself pollutes the environment.

This study purposed to determine the implementation of the coordination function in prevention between the Regional Government and PT. Bayu Energy Development of Bayu Power Plant (PLTB) in Jeneponto Regency. This study was a qualitative descriptive study, while data collection techniques used observation, interviews and documentation. While the informants in this study were 8 people. Data sources used were primary data and secondary data, data analysis techniques with data reduction, data presentation and verification. The results showed that the Implementation of the Coordination Function between the PUPR Office and PT. Bayu Energy in PLTB Development in Jeneponto Regency had not run optimally, seen from the aspect of conflict prevention and contradiction, it did not find any solutions in its settlement, because the coordination requested by the PUPR Office was not responded by PT. EBJ, aspects of prevention of wastefulness prevention of wastefulness that occured between the two parties each opinions on the SOP that governed it, the aspect of preventing differences in approach did not work optimally because it had a different approach, and the prevention of differences in implementation did not run well because there was no division of labor.

It's easy to see why "greening" our businesses is the right thing to do. This innovative and inspiring guide to practical action shows why it's also the smart thing to do. Working with the environment saves money and resources, fosters consumer loyalty, and diminishes the need for outside regulation. Efficiency is the common ally of business and the environment, while wastefulness is their common enemy
