States continue to rely on tax incentive programs to attract and retain businesses and to grow their economies through increased job creation and private capital investment. Most state tax incentive programs are focused on four major industries: manufacturing, agriculture, energy (oil, gas and mining), and the film industry. The cost of tax incentive programs in forgone revenue or direct expenditures continues to increase yearly as states receive less federal funding yet feel the need to compete with other states to attract and retain businesses. The accountability of these programs - “does the cost of the incentives produce the tax development and job growth promised by the recipient businesses?”, is increasingly questioned as recent reports of failed tax incentive programs that do not produce the promised tax returns can be found throughout the United States. This Article focuses on the success of state tax incentives in the film industry. The industry shares the same issues of accountability as other industries but there are more abuses and fraud reported. States have limited resources and cannot afford costly multi-million dollar tax incentive programs for the film industry that do not produce the promised results. This Article argues that states should reexamine the need for the incentives and curtail their film industry incentive programs according to the likelihood of film production in their state. States that maintain or increase their film industry incentives programs should institute limits on incentives awarded and create more accountability of performance on film industry production companies.

In the midst of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway offers provocative new ways to reconfigure our relations to the earth and all its inhabitants. She eschews referring to our current epoch as the Anthropocene, preferring to conceptualize it as what she calls the Chthulucene, as it more aptly and fully describes our epoch as one in which the human and nonhuman are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. The Chthulucene, Haraway explains, requires sym-poiesis, or making-with, rather than auto-poiesis, or self-making. Learning to stay with the trouble of living and dying together on a damaged earth will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that would provide the means to building more livable futures. Theoretically and methodologically driven by the signifier SF—string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative feminism, speculative fabulation, so far—Staying with the Trouble further cements Haraway's reputation as one of the most daring and original thinkers of our time.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

The digital revolution is interwoven with the promise to empower the user. Yet, the rise of centralized, commercial platforms for crowdsourced work questions the validity of this narrative. In Crowd-Design, Florian Alexander Schmidt analyses the workings and the rhetoric of crowdsourced work platforms by comparing the way they address the masses today with historic notions of the crowd. The utopian concepts of early online collaboration are taken as a vantage point from which to view and critique current and, at times, dystopian applications of crowdsourced work. The study is focused on the crowdsourcing of design tasks, but these specific applications are used to examine the design of the more general mechanisms employed by the platform providers to motivate and control the crowds. Crowd-Design is as much about the crowdsourcing of design as it is about the design of crowdsourcing.
