From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege, or financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another. In the history of art, arts patronage refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors. It can also refer to the right of bestowing offices or church benefices, the business given to a store by a regular customer, and the guardianship of saints. The term derives from the Latin patrons, the formal relationship between a Patrons and his Cliens. In some countries the term is used to describe political patronage, which is the use of state resources to reward individuals for their electoral support. Some patronage systems are legal, as in the Canadian tradition of allowing the Prime Minister to appoint the heads of a number of commissions and agencies; in many cases, these appointments go to people who have supported the political party of the Prime Minister. As well, the term may refer to a type of corruption or favoritism in which a party in power rewards groups, families, ethnicities for their electoral support using illegal gifts or fraudulently-awarded appointments or government contracts.

Asked by snuffylaughfagus - Sun Oct 14 00:05:39 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The best restaurants, which are ethnic, have ethnic clients. The best studies are by the economist Tyler Cowen. As soon as others appear a decline starts. Another thing-- the location is key: low rent, non-descript front (the name might suggest Chinese when it's really Burmese); a Mexican kitchen staff (green cards? We don't have no stinkin' green cards! This holds for many ethnics, Mexicans are their back-bone.); no menu -- not English, not even the 'ethnic' language; slow service is a good indicator - their labor is cheap and your time must be cheap.
