Technology end scientific advances over the years
have allowed Isrge corporations to take advent?"
of small-town businesses, a UNL associate profes
sor of economies sdd Thursday.
Bert Evans spoke about 'Small Business Condi
tions in the Pleins States at the October meeting of
the Center for Great Plains Studies. The seminar
was presented at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 12th
and 11 streets.
Evans said that Li the late ICOOs and early ICOOs,
charges in technology and finance allowed small'
businesses to gsin profits. But over time, large cor
porations denied small businesses thb privilege.
The rise cf technology, science and computers
allowed lexge corporations to take advantage cf
Eir.all-tov.T7 businesses, Evans said. - " ;
Evar.3 said three factors continue to influence
corporate control over small businesses: a "massive
change in technology" that followed World War II; a
large-scale communications advance brought on by
the Space Age; and changes in the tax structure.
Evans said the tax structure h a strong element
because it increases corporations' ability to put
money into their own pockets. This forecloses the
opportunity for medium and small businesses to
gain profits, he said.
People like to think the economy has free market
control, Evans said, when actually the economy is
based on a hierarchy with small business on the
bottom. After World War II, there was pressure to
phase out small-town business people, and move
them up the hierarchical ladder, he said. To avoid
further decline in small businesses, Evans said, the
process of large corporation control should be
slowed. x
Evans said .he would like to see research teams
explore economics, education and medicine, and
"find cut what is important." He suggested that pro
fessors get out ofthe classroom and find out what is
going on in the economy.
Evans has a bachelor's degree in agriculture from
UNL and earned a master's degree in economics
from the University of Texas, and a doctorate in
economics from Harvard. --
He is a board member of the Center for Rural
Affairs ' - '
