The first, the world’s greatest collection of antique miniature trains and toys has attracted record holiday crowds with a dynamic display of show- stopping collectors’ and moving pieces. The exhibit remains on view through February 22nd. Our second great new acquisition, on view beginning May 22nd, is Picasso’s Le Tricorne— New York’s Picasso—which has hung since 1959 at the storied Four Seasons Restaurant. Three special exhibitions will also be on view: Freedom Journey 1965: Photographs of the Selma to Montgomery March by Stephen Somerstein; Lincoln and the Jews; and The Art of Al Hirschfeld. The fascinating and provocative Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion continues through April 19th. Of course there will be some old friends in our galleries, as well, among them The Final Flight of Audubon’s astonishing Aviary. You will find in the pages of this beautiful brochure a cornucopia of spectacular programs organized by my talented colleague Dale Gregory, together with her colleagues Alex Kassl, Genna Sarnak, and Hannah Donoghue. As always we thank Bernard Schwartz for enabling us to invite great historians and writers to our Robert H. Smith Auditorium. Highlights of the Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series include programs featuring Jonathan D. Sarna and Harold Holzer discussing Lincoln and the Jews; A. Scott Berg joined by Douglas Brinkley in a discussion of Woodrow Wilson; Margaret MacMillan on World War I; Randall Kennedy on the Voting Rights Act of 1965; Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal on leadership; and Robert Osborne, Louise Kerz Hirschfeld, and Harold Prince in conversation about Al Hirschfeld. We will also welcome author Amy Tan; performing artists Shen Wei, Hao Jiang Tian, Huang Ruo, and Manuel Barrueco; and playwright David Henry Hwang. A new series on Parenting in the Digital Age will explore the challenges of raising children in a digital world. We are so very fortunate that Bonnie and Richard Reiss and Lewis Lehrman have generously added their support to offerings that amplify our reputation as the destination for history and current events.

  • The End of Economics, Or, Is
    THE END OF ECONOMICS, OR, IS UTILITARIANISM FINISHED? By John D. Mueller James Madison Program Fellow Fellow of The Lehrman Institute President, LBMC LLC Princeton University, 127 Corwin Hall, 15 April 2002 Summary. According to Lionel Robbins’ classic definition, “Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means that have alternate uses.” Yet most modern economists assume that economic choice involves only the means and not to the ends of human action. The reason seems to be that most modern economists are ignorant of the history of their own discipline before Adam Smith or Jeremy Bentham. Leading economists like Gary Becker attempt to explain all human behavior, including love and hate, as a maximization of “utility.” But historically and logically, an adequate description of economic choice has always required both a ranking of persons as ends and a ranking of scarce goods as means. What is missing from modern economics is an adequate description of the ranking of persons as ends. This is reflected in the absence of a satisfactory microeconomic explanation (for example, within the household) as to how goods are distributed to their final users, and in an overemphasis at the political level on an “individualistic social welfare function,” by which policymakers are purported to add up the preferences of a society of selfish individuals and determine all distribution from the government downwards, as if the nation or the world were one large household. As this “hole” in economic theory is recognized, an army of “neo-scholastic” economists will find full employment for the first few decades of the 21st Century, busily rewriting the Utilitarian “economic approach to human behavior” that dominated the last three decades of the 20th Century.

  • Jami Attenberg, Nata Nel 1971, Vive a Booklyn Ed È Autrice Di Quattro Romanzi
    Jami Attenberg, nata nel 1971, vive a Booklyn ed è autrice di quattro romanzi. Laureata alla John Hopkins University, collabora con riviste e giornali tra cui il New York Times, il Wall Street Journal e Nerve. I Middlestein è il suo primo romanzo pubblicato in Italia ed è stato scelto tra i finalisti del L.A. Times Book Prize, dopo esser stato tradotto in 9 lingue. Scrive Jonathan Franzen di questo romanzo: «I Middlestein mi hanno conquistato fin dalle prime pagine, e una volta giunto alle ultime ho ammirato la compassione di Jami Attenberg e la sua maestria nel saper raccontare una storia». Il suo quinto libro, Saint Mazie, uscirà nelle librerie nel 2015. Yossi Berg e Oded Graf sono due coreografi e ballerini israeliani che condividono, oltre ad una compagnia, l'infaticabile lavoro nella danza dal 2005. In passato hanno lavorato con coreografi dal calibro di Yasmeen Godder e si esibiscono con compagnie di fama mondiale, come la Batsheva Dance Company e DV8 Physical Theatre, e amano mescolare la loro magistrale fisicità con la ricerca dinamica della recitazione, del testo e della voce, incontrando le realtà sociali e politiche della vita contemporanea. Nonostante mantengano solide basi in Israele e in Danimarca, Berg e Graf portano le loro opere nei festival e nei teatri più prestigiosi, tra cui il Montpellier Danse, l'American Dance Festival, il Madrid En Danza, il Kultur Festival di Stoccolma, il Place Theater di Londra e il MaMa di New York City. Al Festival Internazionale di Letteratura e Cultura Ebraica si esibiranno con il loro capolavoro Heroes.

  • Opinion | Sylvia Chase and the Boys' Club of TV News
    SUNDAY REVIEW Sylvia Chase and the Boys’ Club of TV News When we started at the networks in the early ’70s, most of us tried to hide our gender. Sylvia spoke out. By Lesley Stahl Ms. Stahl is a correspondent for “60 Minutes.” Jan. 12, 2019 Back in the early 1970s, the TV network news organizations wanted to show the world that they were “equal opportunity employers.” And so, CBS, ABC and NBC scoured the country for women and minorities. In 1971, Sylvia Chase was a reporter and radio producer in Los Angeles, and I was a local TV reporter in Boston. CBS hired her for the New York bureau; I was sent to Washington. Sylvia, who died last week at age 80, and I were CBS’s affirmative action babies, along with Connie Chung and Michele Clark. To ensure we had no illusions about our lower status, we were given the title of “reporter.” We would have to earn the position of “correspondent” that our male colleagues enjoyed. We were more like apprentices, often sent out on stories with the seniors, like Roger Mudd and Daniel Schorr. While we did reports for radio, the “grown-ups” — all men — did TV, but we were allowed to watch how they developed sources, paced their days and wrote and edited their stories. Up until then, most women in broadcast journalism were researchers. At first, the four of us in our little group were grateful just to be in the door as reporters. Things began to stir when the women at Newsweek sued over gender discrimination.
