 Rosenberg, "American Action Painters"
The new American painting is not "pure" art, since the extrusion of the object was not for the sake of the esthetic.
The innovation of Action Painting was to dispense with the representation of the state in favor of enacting it in physical movement.
Action Painting has to do with self-creation or self-definition or self-transcendence; but this dissociates it from self-expression, which assumes the acceptance of the ego as it is, with its wound and its magic.

 Policy Analysis Market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PAM was to be a "a market in the future of the Middle East", and would have allowed trading of futures contracts based on possible political developments in several Middle Eastern countries.
The theory behind such a market is that the monetary value of a futures contract on an event reflects the probability that that event will actually occur, since a market's actors rationally bid a contract either up or down based on reliable information.
One of the models for PAM was a political futures market run by the University of Iowa, which has allegedly proven more accurate in predicting the outcomes of U.S. elections than either opinion polls or political pundits.

 Common Sense Americanism - Take Action!
Buying American should not be about tariffs and other forms of import protection, except perhaps in cases where products are clearly produced by enslaved or starvation labor.

If we are clearly dedicated to buying American, then the incentive will be there for American firms to make the extra effort, rather than simply shifting production off-shore to reduce cost and relying on their American name to fool customers.
