 US Political Thought, Lecture 2
Indeed, Hartz believes that it is not the middle-class but the upper-class that is frustrated, “trying to break out of the egalitarian confines of middle class life but suffering guilt and failure in the process” (8).
Hartz is concerned that American liberalism, born at the height of the power of natural rights philosophy, possesses a fixed, dogmatic (9), compulsive and insular character poorly suited to America’s post-war position as a world power.
Hartz asserts the preeminence of tradition in American life, only to declare that the specific tradition to be preserved is that of “atomistic social freedom” (62), a tradition of “new beginnings, daring enterprises, and explicitly stated principles...” bearing the marks of an “antihistorical rationalism” (48).

 Beyond Ascriptivism
Hartz, I argue, is engaged in a similar though not identical project.
Hartz’s ultimate target was an “American absolutism” and we simplify the paradoxical nature of Hartz’s book if we see him as solely making a pious offering on the altar of that same liberal absolutism.
Hartz believed that the basic “ethical problem of a liberal society” was the danger of unanimity, yet despite his own analysis of the irrational dogmatism that liberalism held in constraining the political imaginary, Hartz did believe that “counter resources” existed.

 Major Focus of Advertising in House Campaigns*
The group concept was hailed as a scientific and realistic category for analysis, but the role of groups in politics was seldom viewed as better than ambiguous and was often viewed as nefarious.
The usefulness of the group concept when applied to American politics often led to the assumption, not generally tested until much later, that it would be equally appropriate to the study of other polities, an assumption which could be far from the truth.
The concept of modernization has, however, had a demonstrated usefulness in the analysis of the one segment of American society, the South, where there was something which could be called a fully developed traditional social order.

The concept of the "Me plcs" is aimed both at combating illegal work and at promoting self-employment: the unemployed are to be given new opportunities to set up in business – with tax concessions and continuing welfare insurance cover.
Criticism is levelled at the fact that the Hartz Commission is excessively focused on job placement, whilst the core of the problem is not job placement, but the lack of vacancies.
The ambitious target proclaimed by Peter Hartz when he presented the report – to halve the number of unemployed by the end of 2005 – is probably no longer seen as realistic by anyone.

 Residents disagree with Hartz Mountain plans
It’s back to the drawing board for Hartz Mountain.That was the general consensus of many residents who filled the council chambers last week for the presentation by developer Hartz Mountain of the Edison Town Square proposal on the former site of the Ford Motor Co. plant.
Hartz Mountain, a Secaucas-based developer, purchased the 97-acre tract of land from Ford in 2004.
Edison has requested $100,000 be placed in an escrow account by Hartz Mountain to allow the township the opportunity to conduct its own independent traffic impact studies, economic analysis and to receive an independent planner’s view of the entire concept, the mayor said.

 Landlord Liability for Injuries
The concept of reasonable care requires the landlord or owner of a commercial property to take action with regard to conditions within a reasonable period of time after the owner becomes aware of the dangerous condition or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have become aware of it.
Hartz Mountain Corporation (A-58/59-02) February 9, 2004 This appeal considers the liability of a commercial landowner in a case in which a traffic sign, situated on the landowner's sidewalk, became dislodged and caused injury to an invitee.
Based on the traditional standard, Hartz had a duty to exercise reasonable care for plaintiff's safety, including making reasonable inspections of its own property and the abutting sidewalk and taking such steps as were necessary to correct or give warning of a hazardous condition.

Both Hofstadter and Hartz were opposed to an organic political community, which for Calhoun was the cradle of social and political life, even with all its foibles and dissimilarities.
In general, it is Hofstadter's and Hartz's failure to note the centrality of community and its importance for Calhoun's political theory that hinders their overall appreciation of his contribution to political theory.
For Hartz, Calhoun was a disjointed Burkean defender of an organic society, colored by Lockean notions of individual rights, and further complicated by the requirement to defend a slave society.

 Hartz IV: Failing SPD Shocks Germany with Schachtian Cuts
On July 1, government and party leadership declared their full commitment to the "Hartz IV" legislation (named after its initiator, government advisor Peter Hartz), which will replace both traditional unemployment benefits and welfare by a new standard pay that is markedly lower.
With the Hartz IV package, the new standard pay for all long-term unemployed (12 months or more out of work) and welfare recipients will be only 345 euros a month for citizens in the 10 western states and the capital Berlin, whereas citizens in the five eastern states will receive 331 euros.
Officially, a half million of the 2.3 million long-term unemployed in Germany are believed to have enough property of their own not to be eligible for the Hartz IV pay for at least one or two years; i.e., they would be cut off entirely until they completely impoverish themselves.

 Germany: study draws devastating balance of the Hartz labour reforms
The study into the effects of the Hartz measures was commissioned by the SPD-Green Party government and was conducted by several economics research institutes, including the Berlin Centre for Science, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), the Rhine-Westphalia Institute for Economic Research (RWI), as well as the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW).
The Hartz IV regulations, combining unemployment benefits and welfare assistance, aimed at cutting benefits to the long-term unemployed (those jobless for over one year), are to be dealt with in a separate study.
This result of the Hartz reforms—the establishment of an uncertain low-wage sector, which also serves to undermine the collectively agreed wages system—was the political intention from the outset.

To this end, (a) many of the existing instruments of active labor market policy are modified considerably, (b) a set of new instruments is introduced, and (c) the administrative framework in which these measures operate is changed substantially.
The task is therefore to develop a ready-to-implement concept for the evaluation of the full set of reforms in their entirety, as well as each instrument on its own, facing substantive constraints regarding data availability and a short time horizon.
In addition to the fact that our concept is directly implementable, it also has the advantage of being extensible for future labor market policy evaluations.

Hartz III came into effect on I January 2004.
When the number of people who count as unemployed rose in January 2005 by about 222,000 due to Hartz IV, this is what brought the total figure over the psychologically important 5 million mark to 5,037,000: some specialists fear that this will even lead to a fall in consumer spending.
The gravest problems seem to lie in the level of aid; 345 euros per month, though more or less covering the most basic needs, are simply not enough for the constitutionally guaranteed "life in dignity" in a high-cost country like Germany.
