  • Cantillon and the Rise of Anti-Mercantilism
    CANTILLON AND THE RISE OF ANTI-MERCANTILISM MARK THORNTON* Resumen: En este trabajo se pretende demostrar que Cantillon formó parte tanto del pensamiento como del movimiento antimercantilista de su época, influyendo en gran medida en el cambio de opinión en contra del mercantilismo que se fue fraguando de 1720 a 1734. Clasificación JEL: B110, B31, N010. Abstract: This article places Cantillon at the center of anti-mercantilist thought and the anti-mercantilist movements in London and Paris between the time of the Bubbles of 1720 and his murder in 1734 and it places his ideas at the turning point between the eras of mercantilism and antimercantilism. JEL classification: B110, B31, N010. «It seems to me that there is a connection between physiocracy and anti-mercantilism, or at any rate between Boisguilbert (1646-1714) and Quesnay (1694-1774), though it is not easy to say just what this connection was.» Martin Wolfe1 «In itself Cantillon’s (168?-1734?) was a contribution of real significance, and it would be difficult to find a more incisive prophet of nineteenth-century liberalism.» Robert B.

  • Alle Origini Di Demokratie Und Klassenkampf Im Altertum. Il
    ISSN: 2632-4091 History of Classical Scholarship 3 July 2020 Issue 2 (2020): 69–104 ALLE ORIGINI DI DEMOKRATIE UND KLASSENKAMPF IM ALTERTUM IL DIBATTITO TRA ARTHUR ROSENBERG, OTTO JENSSEN ED ETTORE CICCOTTI SULLA DEMOCRAZIA ATENIESE — VITTORIO SALDUTTI — ABSTRACT Negli anni che seguirono la presa del potere dei bolscevichi in Russia il mo- vimento socialista internazionale fu agitato da un duro scontro sulla natura della democrazia sovietica che influenzò la riflessione di Arthur Rosenberg. Nell’ottobre del 1919 lo studioso tedesco pubblicò un lavoro su una rivista dei socialdemocratici indipendenti, in cui la democrazia ateniese veniva para- gonata al moderno regime dei Consigli. L’articolo scatenò la reazione di Otto Jenssen, che aprì un dibattito, nel quale venne in un secondo momento coinvolto Ettore Ciccotti, sulla natura economica, sociale e politica dell’antico regime ateniese. La querelle ebbe un notevole impatto sulla successiva produzione di Ciccotti e sull’elaborazione di Demokratie und Klassenkampf im Altertum, il lavoro più importante di Rosenberg come antichista. In the years following the Bolsheviks’ seizure of power in Russia the inter- national Socialist movement was divided by a harsh debate on the nature of Soviet democracy, which had a major influence on Arthur Rosenberg’s thought. In October 1919, he published an article in the journal of the Independent Social Democratic Party in which he compared Athenian democracy with contem- porary workers’ councils. The piece prompted the reaction of Otto Jenssen, who opened a controversy on the economic, social and political character of the ancient Athenian polity that came to involve also Ettore Ciccotti. The exchange had a considerable impact on the later works of Ciccotti and on the writing of Demokratie und Klassenkampf im Altertum, Rosenberg’s most important con- tribution to classical scholarship.

ANTON MENGER'S remarkable study of the cardinal Dr doctrine of revolutionary socialism, now for the first W time published in English, has long enjoyed a wide reputation on the Continent; and English students of social philosophy, whether or not they are familiar with the original, will welcome its appearance in this trans- lation. The interest and importance of the subject will not be disputed, either by the opponents or the advocates of socialism ; and those who know how exceptionally Dr. Menger is qualified for work of this kind, by his juristic eminence, and his profound know- ledge of socialistic literature, will not need to be told that it has been executed with singular vigour and ability. Hitherto, perhaps because it was not generally accessible to English readers, the book has not received in this country the notice that it has met with elsewhere. Yet there are reasons why it should be of peculiar interest to English economists. The particular method of criticism adopted by Dr.

  • Moral Progress in the Light of History
    MORAL PROGRESS IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY. BY VICTOR S. YARROS. MLXri has been written lately about the imperative need of doing something in order that civilization may be saved or "salvaged." Humanity, we have been solemnly assured, is doomed, and our culture may perish, unless we accept this or that remedy for our social, economic and moral ills. It is scarely necessary to remind the reader of serious scientific literature dealing with social problems that the learned doctors dis- agree, as they have always disagreed in the past, concerning the nature and elements of the remedy required by the patient, civilized mankind. The patient would be deeply perplexed indeed were he, or it, to endeavor to follow the insistent advice of the physicians. How- ever, the latter do agree that humanity is sick unto death. They shake their grave heads pessimistically. They are most anxious and depressed. This mood of theirs does them credit, morally and emotionally speaking. They have the noblest of intentions. But are they justi- fied in their pessimism? Is the patient as sick as they believe he is? It is clear that an answer to these queries cannot be evolved out of one's inner consciousness. Freud and the subconscious cannot help us, either, to a sound, satisfactory answer. To find such an answer zve must go to history, to tJic human record. Has humanity been in better health than now? If so, when, and when did it con- tract its present dangerous malady? What has happened to it? Let us interrogate some one who has made an earnest and special study of our patient and knows the history of the case.

  • Ancient Rome on Wilson Barrett's
    “A LIVING HISTORY”: ANCIENT ROME ON WILSON BARRETT’S STAGE by Shoshana Hereld A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Theatre) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2017 © Shoshana Hereld, 2017 Abstract The toga dramas of late nineteenth-century British actor-manager Wilson Barrett provide important evidence on the relationship between the Classics and Victorian theater. In his depictions of ancient Rome, Barrett married the popularity of melodrama with the passion for classical antiquity, reflecting changes in the Victorian social world at the end of the nineteenth century: the increasing prominence of melodrama and the blurring of artistic genres; the increasing accessibility of classical knowledge; and obsessions with historicity. Drawing on scripts, contemporary reviews, and photographs, I investigate the ways in which Barrett’s work navigates the existing social scene in both theater and society at large. By exploring the splendor of Victorian melodrama, the British tastes for the Classics, and the relationship between authenticity and theatricality, this thesis uses Wilson Barrett’s work to demonstrate important features of both Victorian theater and society at large at the end of the nineteenth century. ii Lay Summary The toga dramas of late nineteenth-century British actor-manager Wilson Barrett provide important evidence on the relationship between the Classics and Victorian theater. Barrett is relatively unstudied, as compared to his contemporaries, such as Sir Henry Irving. Barrett’s depictions of ancient Rome, however, reflect both Victorian attitudes towards classical history and changes in British social structure.

Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M.

    THOMAS HODGSKIN AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS; A RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS ENDOGENOUS GROWTH THEORY F.G. Day PhD 2009 THOMAS HODGSKIN AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS; A RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS ENDOGENOUS GROWTH THEORY Frederick George Day A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Economics The Manchester Metropolitan University June 2009 1 Declaration I confirm that no part of this thesis has been submitted for the award of a qualification at this or any other university. 2 Abstract By means of a close reading of early 19th century economic works, and by reconstructing aspects of Thomas Hodgskin‘s political economy, this thesis presents an exposition of those parts of his work that contributed to his position on growth. Rather than concentrating on his ideas on capital, we have centred on his concept of political economy as a science concerned with labour as the sole creator of wealth. We present his political economy as having labour as its focal point within a hypothetical pure market economy. From here he sought a foundation to economic growth derived from human action rather than capital or other material circumstances. Hodgskin saw human knowledge and the use of technology as the starting point that would, from his perspective, lead inevitably to those economic conditions that produce improvements in economic welfare and by doing so allow for an increase in population. In order to demonstrate his ideas on growth, we reconstruct his concepts of what was natural and artificial to equate to the modern notions of endogenous and exogenous.

  • Appendix: Einaudi, President of the Italian Republic (1948–1955) Message After the Oath*
    Appendix: Einaudi, President of the Italian Republic (1948–1955) Message after the Oath* At the general assembly of the House of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, on Wednesday, 12 March 1946, the President of the Republic read the following message: Gentlemen: Right Honourable Senators and Deputies! The oath I have just sworn, whereby I undertake to devote myself, during the years awarded to my office by the Constitution, to the exclusive service of our common homeland, has a meaning that goes beyond the bare words of its solemn form. Before me I have the shining example of the illustrious man who was the first to hold, with great wisdom, full devotion and scrupulous impartiality, the supreme office of head of the nascent Italian Republic. To Enrico De Nicola goes the grateful appreciation of the whole of the people of Italy, the devoted memory of all those who had the good fortune to witness and admire the construction day by day of the edifice of rules and traditions without which no constitution is destined to endure. He who succeeds him made repeated use, prior to 2 June 1946, of his right, springing from the tradition that moulded his sentiment, rooted in ancient local patterns, to an opinion on the choice of the best regime to confer on Italy. But, in accordance with the promise he had made to himself and his electors, he then gave the new republican regime something more than a mere endorsement. The transition that took place on 2 June from the previ- ous to the present institutional form of the state was a source of wonder and marvel, not only by virtue of the peaceful and law-abiding manner in which it came about, but also because it offered the world a demonstration that our country had grown to maturity and was now ready for democracy: and if democracy means anything at all, it is debate, it is struggle, even ardent or * Message read on 12 March 1948 and republished in the Scrittoio del Presidente (1948–1955), Giulio Einaudi (ed.), 1956.

In keeping with the Society’s stated aim to promote research on anglo-german relations, the theme chosen was religion and politics in medieval England and germany. the papers cover a wide span of time, from Carolingian Francia to England and germany in the late middle ages, but are held together by a common interest in the complex inter relationship of religion and politics in these years. they vary greatly in length, with some constituting little more than fully refer - enced versions of the orally delivered paper (nelson, Ormrod, and Fößel), and others representing very substantial studies in their own right (görich and Weiler). after a brief preface detailing the background to the collection, the book begins with an introduction (presumably by the editors, though this is not clearly stated). an overview of the volume’s aims is given, as well as summaries of the individual papers. there is little attempt to saying anything new here and the exercise seems to be designed to help the casual reader pick out which article(s) might be of interest. In any case, the summaries given are fair and judicious, although there are a few egregious slips.
