A review essay on a book by Robert E. Lane, The Market Experience (Cambridge: Cambridge U Press, 1991 [see listing in IRPS No. 81]). Lane restates the central criticism of economic views of human satisfaction, ie, that they define welfare as utility &, in practice if not in theory, use money as the measure of utility, while in reality utility (or welfare) ought to be defined as happiness. In exporing the implications of this noneconomic definition for our assessment of markets, Lane summarizes the evidence about how people assess their own happiness more successfully than he clarifies the meaning of that word. Since increases in income above a certain minimum do not increase happiness, work must be made more meaningful. Adapted from the source document.

In the Fall of 1964 the New Democratic Party candidate won a spectacular victory in the bye-election in Waterloo South. An analysis of the election, based on Coleman's method of effect parameters, shows that SC was the most important variable affecting voting behavior, although religious affiliation & ethnic origin still counted for a great deal in the case of Conservative & Liberal voters. Although it is impossible to draw general conclusions from 1 bye-election, a certain number of considerations all point to a greater potential for class as a determinant of Canadian electoral behavior in the future. If this is so, the traditional view of Canadian pol as being based, like Amer pol, on the brokerage system, will have to be revised. IPSA.

Does religion promote political mobilization? Are individuals motivated by their faith to focus on issues of social justice, personal morality, or both? What is the relationship between religious conviction and partisanship? Does religious identity reinforce or undermine other political identifications like race, ethnicity, and class? The answers to these questions are hardly monolithic, varying between and within major American religious groups. With an electoral climate increasingly shaped by issues of faith, values, and competing moral visions, it is both fascinating and essential to examin
