Not on My Farm! Resistance to Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication in the United States
研究美国农民抵制政府使用结核菌素检测技术根除牛结核病的现象，分析反对的政治经济原因、早期科学争议的影响以及反对者的策略，揭示技术变革中的阻力如何影响经济增长。
The active opposition to technical change has frequently impeded economic growth. This article examines the widespread resistance to government-led campaigns to use new tuberculin testing technologies to eradicate bovine tuberculosis in the United States. We explore three issues: the political economy of opposition; the role of earlier scientific controversies in the discourse; and the techniques used by the opponents. Over time, the protests shifted from challenging the scientific merits of the testing technology to more nuts-and-bolts distributional and administrative issues.
