  • Toward a History of Management Thought
    Toward a History of Management Thought Charles Howell SyracuseUniversity The historyof managementthought suffers from a constricteddefinition of its subject.Constituent fields (marketing) and cognate fields (economics and law) areoften neglected in studiesof the subject.The term"thought" tends to be equated to knowledge,and thus given a positivistcast, or describedin instrumentalterms andthereby reduced to a generalizedform of practice.The historyof management thought,in short,invites more expansive treatment than it hashitherto received. Thispaper explores the potential benefits of an enlargeddefinition. The paperfocuses on two economists,Edwin Gay of Harvardand Richard Ely of the University of Wisconsin,who influencedthe developmentof managementthought, and whosecareers illuminate aspects of it that havebeen neglectedin previoushistories. Both are associated with institutionsthat promoted scholarship,education, and public discourse about business and its socialfunction-- institutionswhose role in shapingmanagement thought has received little attention. Both showeda keeninterest in the role of the statein economiclife. Their advocacy of regulatoryand fiscal policies suggests that ideas about techniques of managing grewup alongsideideas about political and social life, andthat in any satisfactory accountof managementthought these two strandsmust be interwoven.Both played a role in the professionalizationof economicsin the early twentiethcentury: their contributionto managementthought highlights interconnections between the two fieldsthat

  • El Darwinismo Social Recurrente O La Propuesta De Esterilizar a Las Personas Desempleadas
    El darwinismo social recurrente o la propuesta de esterilizar a las personas desempleadas Daniel Raventós 21/01/2018 Un amigo me envía una nota periodística sobre las declaraciones de un diputado conservador del Reino Unido en las que propone esterilizar a los desempleados para que dejen de cobrar ayudas por hijos. El tipo, un tal Ben Bradley, asegura que “Hay cientos de familias en el Reino Unido que ganan más de 60.000 libras en beneficios sin mover un dedo porque tienen tantos hijos (¡y para el resto de nosotros ese es un salario de más de 90.000 libras antes de impuestos!)”. Este simpático pimpollo tiene solamente 28 años. Parece algo horrible y desvergonzado. Pero hay precedentes espectaculares mucho más sonados. La nota enviada por mi amigo me recordó un artículo escrito para Sin Permiso hace casi 8 años al que voy a desempolvar un poco. Situémonos en los años 30 del siglo pasado. Se discutía por entonces en EEUU la conveniencia del subsidio de desempleo. Se acabó implantando en el año 1935, bajo la presidencia de Franklin D. Roosevelt, este subsidio. Hubo grandes debates, antes y después de promulgada la ley, entre políticos, economistas, intelectuales, periodistas y población en general. No ha pasado ni un siglo entero, pero se emitían declaraciones del siguiente tono sobre lo que supondría este subsidio: “La dominación definitiva del socialismo sobre la vida y la industria” (Asociación Nacional de Fabricantes); “Destruirá la iniciativa, desalentando el ahorro y ahogando la responsabilidad individual” (James L. Donnelly, de la Asociación de Fabricantes de Illinois); “En un momento u otro, traerá consigo, ineluctablemente, el final del capitalismo privado” (Charles Denby, Jr., de la Asociación Americana de Abogados).

Davis Marquette University, [email protected] Steven G. Medema Published version. "Introduction," in Economics Broadly Considered: Essays in Honor of Warren J. Samuels. London: Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2001: 1-29. Permalink. © 2001 Taylor & Francis (Routledge). Used with permission. Introduction Economics broadly considered: a glance at Warren J. Samuels' contributions to economics Jeff E. Biddle, John B. Davis, and Steven G. Medema Warren J. Samuels was born in New York City and grew up in Miami, Florida. He earned his B.A. from the University of Miami in 1954 and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1957. After holding positions at the University of Missouri, Georgia State University, and the University of Miami, Samue1s was Professor of Economics at Michigan State University from 1968 until his retirement in 1998 (for biographical details, see Samuels 1995 and Blaug 1999). Samuels' contributions to economics range widely across the discipline, but his most significant work, and the largest share of his corpus, falls within the history of economic thought, the economic role of government (and par­ ticularly law and economics), and economic methodology. All of this work has been undertaken against the backdrop of an institutional approach to economics and economic thought. Samuels was exposed to the institutional approach already during his undergraduate days at Miami, and he pursued the Ph.D. at Wisconsin because of its institutionalist tradition (then drawing to a close), as evidenced in faculty members such as Edwin Witte, Harold Groves, Martin Glaeser, Kenneth Parsons, and Robert Lampman.

  • Introduction to Frank A. Fetter's Capital, Interest, and Rent
    Introduction to Frank A. Fetter’s Capital, Interest, and Rent di Murray N. Rothbard Frank Albert Fetter (1863-1949) was the leader in the United States of the early Austrian school of economics. Born in rural Indiana, Fetter was graduated from the Indiana University in 1891. After earning a master’s degree at Cornell University, Fetter pursued his studies abroad and received a doctorate in economics in 1894 from the University of Halle in Germany. Fetter then taught successively at Cornell, Indiana, and Stanford universities. He returned to Cornell as professor of political economy and finance (1901-1911) and terminated his academic career at Princeton University (1911-31), where he also served as chairman of the department of economics. Fetter is largely remembered for his views on business “monopoly” (see his Masquerade of Monopoly [New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1931]). But long before he published his work on monopoly in the 1930s, he developed a unified and consistent theory of distribution that explained the relationship among capital, interest, and rent. While Fetter’s theoretical work, like much of capital and interest theory in recent decades, has been generally neglected, much of it is still valuable and instructive today. In my opinion, microeconomic analysis has a considerable way to go to catch up to the insight that we find in Fetter’s writings in the first decade and a half of this century. Apart from his two lucidly written treatises (The Principles of Economics [New York: The Century Co., 1904]; and Economic Principles [New York: The Century Co., 1915]), Fetter’s major contributions to distribution theory appeared in the series of journal articles and shorter papers that I have collected to form this volume.

  • Thurman Arnold (1891‐1969)
    Interpreters of Economic Ideas: Thurman Arnold (1891‐1969) ( I am grateful to Bruce Caldwell and Steve Medema for comments on an earlier draft) Craufurd Goodwin August, 2016 “…lawyers and economists have always been a frustrating force in American society. There is no more possibility of getting rid of them than a dog has of getting rid of fleas.” Thurman Arnold to Rexford G. Tugwell, August 22, 1967 (Gressley 474) Background A category of public intellectuals that resides at the fringes of what we think of today as economic science has received little attention from historians of economics and should, I suggest, receive more. The main objective of those in this category has been to discover how economics could be useful in explaining and solving policy problems in fields different from but adjacent to those that are thought of as economic and along paths that are different from the conventional ones of applied economics. These “fringe economists” are seldom interested in economics for its own sake, only for what it can do for them. One of their main achievements has been to bring economic thinking of a certain kind to an audience that is much broader and more diverse than is typically reached by conventional disseminators of economics such as textbook writers and specialists on economics in the media. The impact that these interpreters have had on the economic policies that they address, and sometimes backward onto economic science as well, has yet to be fully understood. The economic public intellectuals that I have examined have several qualities in common that help to justify their treatment as a group.

  • Thomas Nixon Carver, How Ought Wealth to Be Distributed? (1906)1
    AMERICAN POLITICAL THOUGHT Keith E. Whittington Supplementary Material Chapter 8: The Progressive Era – Political Economy Thomas Nixon Carver, How Ought Wealth to be Distributed? (1906)1 Born on an Iowa farm at the end of the Civil War, Thomas Nixon Carver entered college late and completed a Ph.D. in economics at Cornell University in 1894. He spent most of his career at Harvard University, where he taught a blend of economic theory and social philosophy influenced by Herbert Spencer and emerged as a vocal critic of socialism in the early twentieth century. [A]lthough there is so much unanimity in the opinion that wealth ought not to be distributed as it now is, there is still a wide diversity of opinion, where there is any definite opinion at all, as to how it really ought to be distributed. These opinions may, however, be reduced to three fundamentally distinct theories, which I shall call the aristocratic, the socialistic, and the democratic, or liberalistic, theories. The aristocratic theory is that the good things of the world belong more particularly to certain groups or classes than to others, by virtue of some circumstances connected with their birth or heredity, and independently of their individual achievements. The socialistic theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to needs, or according to some similar plan arranged beforehand, and independently of the individual’s ability to acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready struggle of life. The democratic, or liberalistic, theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to productivity, usefulness, or worth.

  • The Three “Furies” of Libertarianism: Rose Wilder Lane, Isabel Paterson, and Ayn Rand
    The Three “Furies” of Libertarianism: Rose Wilder Lane, Isabel Paterson, and Ayn Rand Jennifer Burns Downloaded from “They make all of us male writers look like Confederate money,” wrote the curmud- geonly cultural critic Albert Jay Nock in 1943. According to Congressman Howard Buf- fett, they “have talent that surpasses that of almost any mere male that I know in the country.” Reflecting on the rise of the Right over the course of the twentieth century, the http://jah.oxfordjournals.org/ journalist John Chamberlain noted, “If it had been left to pusillanimous males probably nothing much would have happened.” To William F. Buckley Jr., they were the “three furies” of libertarianism: the children’s author and magazine writer Rose Wilder Lane, the book critic Isabel Paterson, and the best-selling novelist Ayn Rand. Popular writers who are not typically remembered as significant intellectuals, Lane, Paterson, and Rand nonetheless exerted, according to their contemporaries, a powerful influence on the ideo- 1 logical development of the American Right. at Stanford University on December 14, 2015 But what exactly was this influence, and how should historians make sense of the striking presence of three women, bound by similar life experiences and tenuous bonds of friendship, at the core of modern antistatism? It seems more than coincidence to find three women at this pivotal moment, yet Lane, Paterson, and Rand resist easy analysis on the grounds of gender. They did not claim their womanhood as a source of particu- lar wisdom and did not identify with women as a group. The triumphant self that ran through their fiction could manifest itself in both male and female guise.

PLAYING FOR ALL THE MARBLES Robert Lee Hale has long been an intellectual thorn in the side of the defenders of laissez faire, among whom I am quite happy to count myself. As Barbara Fried1 notes in her meticulous study of Hale's work, his name is hardly a household word. But both di- rectly and indirectly, his influence continues to be great. His best known work is perhaps Coercion and Distribution in a Supposedly Non-Coercive State,2 published in 1923 as a review of Thomas Nixon Carver's Principles of NationalEconomy, 3 itself a defense of the classical principles of laissez faire, remembered today only for the drubbing that it took at Hale's hands.
