I will love them forever. —L.R. B”H Dedicated to the memory of my sister, Esther, for bringing me to these shores; to the memory of my father, Henoch, for his wisdom and my mother, Sara, for giving birth to me—twice; and my grandparents, who died on Kiddush Hashem, Abraham Mordchai and Feigel Rosensaft, and Itzhak Meir and Chava Szenberg, to my children, Marc and Naomi, and Avi and Tova; to my grandchildren, Chaim and Elki Herzog, Moshe and Batya Shain, Nachum and Devorah Wolmark, Chanoch, Ephraim, Ayala, Menachem Yehuda, and Yaakov Nosson, and to my great-grandchildren, Chanoch, Faigala, Moshe, Chaya Avigail, and Chaim Baruch. And to my wife, Miriam; and to the righteous German-Austrian officer who took my immediate family to a hiding place one by one from the Braun concentration camp just days before the last transport to Auschwitz, where most of my family perished, and to Tomasz Mirowski for providing my family a hiding place after our escape from the camp. —M.S. Foreword As the second decade of the twenty-first century concludes, the issue of American Exceptionalism is again forefront on the minds of scholars around the world. Some argue that the United States is retreating from its long-held position as the bastion of democracy and liberty by pointing out its ongoing reinforcement of stringent immigration policies, its newly erected protection- ist trade barriers, its erosions of personal voting rights, and its disengagement from international treaties and organizations. Others argue that American Exceptionalism never existed—that it is a myth, and that the United States, although unique in many ways, is not destined to be the eternal standard bearer of personal and economic freedom. While the future remains unknow- able, this volume persuasively and successfully builds the case for American Exceptionalism—that the political systems, the civic and social institutions, and the economic philosophies and policies of the United States have irrevo- cably changed the world for the better in immeasurable ways. Michael Szenberg and Lall Ramrattan are especially suited to tell this story—two American economists with distinctly different immigrant backgrounds who see America and its history through a lens not readily available to the native born. Their arguments are inherently rooted in the economic way of thinking but their approach encompasses the beneficial aspects of sociological thought and political theory. Within these pages the reader will encounter economic modeling, history, philosophy, vii viii Foreword ­psychology, religion, and biography. An eclectic array of thinkers, phi- losophies, and world views—some familiar and some more obscure—are used to describe how and why American Exceptionalism came to be and why it is important to understand. This volume will prove useful to all of those trying to comprehend where America stands in the world today and, therefore, where the future will likely take us. I invite you to explore Szenberg and Ramrattan’s view of American Exceptionalism. Editor-in-Chief, The American Economist Paul W. Grimes Professor of Economics, Pittsburg State University Emeritus Professor of Economics Mississippi State University Preface and Acknowledgments American Exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the belief that the United States differs qualitatively from other nations because of its distinctive economic, political, and religious institutions. As Michael wit- nessed the atrocities committed by the Nazi and communist dictatorial regimes in Poland, he saw this firsthand. When he was in his first year of high school, a communist official held an assembly and asked for students’ opinions on certain policies. One student offered an opposing opinion— and subsequently disappeared, along with his family. A similar story hap- pened to Michael’s sister when she went to visit a friend one afternoon in the Polish mining town of Sosnowiec. As she walked into the building, the super stopped her and told her that the friend’s family had never lived there. She was confused, having visited the friend in the building and even spoken with the super frequently before, and opened her mouth to respond. The super responded forcefully this time, telling her to go home and not to return. This is the cruel face of authoritarian power. Thus, the origins of American Exceptionalism stem from the idea that the United States is different from other countries in that it has a specific world mis- sion to spread liberty and democracy. America’s pursuit of truth allows constitutionally many differing and opposing views to be heard. In the process of preparing this book on Exceptionalism, we have accu- mulated numerous debts and it is our pleasure to acknowledge the ix x Preface and Acknowledgments ­individuals and institutions that have made this volume possible. First we would like to thank Elizabeth Graber, a truly gifted editor whose personal interest in this project was encouraging to us, and Dr. Danna Messer for reviewing the manuscript and offering valuable comments. Progress from draft manuscript to final version was aided by Stephanie Miodus, our very talented assistant who currently attends Temple University pursuing a PhD in School Psychology. We are deeply indebted to the Editor-in-Chief of The American Economist Paul W. Grimes for penning the foreword to this book and being a primary source of inspiration, encouragement, and support over the years. Thanks also to our important champion and mentor, Dr. Victor R. Fuchs, past president of the American Economic Association—a shining example of excellence, without whom our lives would have been less fulfilling—and to Henry J. Kaiser, Jr., Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. I owe an awesome debt of gratitude to Alan Zimmerman and Iuliana Ismailescu, for their goodness of heart, enduring support, positive attitude, gracious good cheer, and deep friendship. They have an electricity around them and a sense of commitment. In the same category, I would like to include Renee Blinder, Elena Goldman, Laura Nowak, Miriam Tsymuk, Carmen Urma, Sergiu Viorel Urma, and Joshua Zilberberg who are all dear friends. They are a constant source of affection. I also want to recognize Elki and Chaim Herzog; Batya and Moshe Shain; Chanoch and Ephraim Kunin; Devorah and Nachum Wolmark; Ayala Szenberg and Menachem Yehuda Feifer; and Yaakov Nosson Szenberg. They work with diligence, character, good humor, exactitude, and patience. They have all lightened many a task. Their assistance was incalculable and I am grateful to them. As I stroll down memory lane with my rusty wheels turning, my heart warms with gratitude toward Ester Budek Robbins, Lisa Ferraro, Laura Garcia, Anna Geller, Yelena Glants, Iva Joseph, Janet Lieben-Ulman, Jennifer Loftus, Sadia Nabi, Larisa Parkhomovsky, Andrea Pascarelli, Ira Robbins, Sandra Shpilberg, Marina Slavina, Justyna Tuniewicz, Janet Ulman, and Aleena Wee—my past talented and devoted graduate research assistants who have helped directly and indirectly in more ways than I can list. They all lead successful, productive lives. Their input lives on in these pages. Preface and Acknowledgments xi In addition, a number of former students, who are part of my extended family, deserve thanks for their invaluable input and assistance—Tamar Gomez, Lorene Hiris, Richard LaRocca, Luba Sagui, Tehila Tamaiev, Cathyann Tully, and Sonja Wiedenmann. Once again, thanks to my wife, Miriam, and to Naomi, my daughter, an ophthalmologist, and to my son, Avi, a lawyer, and their spouses, Marc and Tova, as well. Special thanks to Touro’s Vice Presidents Stanley Boylan, Robert Goldschmidt, Rabbi Moshe D. Krupka, and David Raab, and Deans Henry M. Abramson, Barry Bressler, Sandra Brock, Avery Horowitz, Moshe Sokol, Marian Stoltz-Loike, and Dr. Melech Press, Chairman of the Psychology Department—for their ongoing support and commit- ment to scholarly endeavors and helping me navigate Touro’s waters. And to Dr. Mark Hasten, the chairman of Touro College’s Board of Trustees and Board of Overseers, for his friendship and support.

  • New Frontiers in Economics This Book Brings Together Essays From
    Cambridge University Press 0521836867 - New Frontiers in Economics Edited by Michael Szenberg and Lall Ramrattan Frontmatter More information New Frontiers in Economics This book brings together essays from leading economists analyzing the new directions that subdisciplines of economics have taken in the face of modern economic challenges. The essays represent invention and discovery in the areas of information, macroeconomics and public policies, international trade and development, finance, business, contracts, law, gaming, and government, as these areas of study evolve through the different phases of the scientific process. It offers not only a wealth of factual information on the current state of the economy, but also theoretical and empirical innovations that conceptualize reality and values in different ways from their predecessors. The new concepts presented here can guide practitioners in their search for ways to resolve problems in the various areas. Together, the essays offer the reader a balanced look at the various fields, approaches, and dimensions that comprise future directions in economic theory, research, and practice. The extensive introduction by the editors not only summarizes and reviews the implications of the contributions presented in the volume, but also examines how scientific progress takes place, with special reference to economics and finance. Michael Szenberg is Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Lubin School of Business, Pace University. He is the author or editor of many books, including Economics of the Israeli Diamond Industry (1973) with an Intro- duction by Milton Friedman, which won the Irving Fisher Monograph Award, and Eminent Economists, Their Life Philosophies (1992). Professor Szenberg has received the Kenan Award for excellence in teaching.

    This is a slightly revised version of an article in The American Economist, Spring 1994. It will be published in Passion and Craft: How Economists Work, ed. Michael Szenberg, University of Michigan Press, 1998. MY SYSTEM OF WORK (NOT!) by Avinash Dixit Princeton University Among the signals of approaching senility, few can be clearer than being asked to write an article on one's methods of work. The profession's implied judgment is that one's time is better spent giving helpful tips to younger researchers than doing new work oneself. However, of all the lessons I have learnt during a quarter century of research, the one I have found most valuable is always to work as if one were still twenty-three. From such a young perspective, I find it difficult to give advice to anyone. The reason why I agreed to write this piece will appear later. I hope readers will take it for what it is -- scattered and brash remarks of someone who pretends to have a perpetually juvenile mind, and not the distilled wisdom of a middle-aged has-been. Writing such a piece poses a basic problem at any age. There are no sure-fire rules for doing good research, and no routes that clearly lead to failure. Ask any six economists and you will get six dozen recipes for success. Each of the six will flatly contradict one or more of the others. And all of them may be right -- for some readers and at some times. So you should take all such suggestions with skepticism.

  • A Roundabout Approach to Macroeconomics 2
    A Roundabout Approach to Macroeconomics 2 another matter. Here, the time element is a debilitating problem: These expectations, if you can call them that, are baseless. The future is shrouded in an impenetrable fog of uncertainty, leaving the current level of investment spending to be determined by unruly psychological factors—Keynes’s infamous “animal spirits.” The resultant circular flow will gush and ebb and even on average may not entail enough flow to fully employ the labor force. The circular-flow framework, exercised in both its short-run and long-run modes, seems to me to be exactly the wrong framework for understanding and dealing with the A Roundabout Approach to Macroeconomics: time element in macroeconomics. Identifying the polar cases of “no problem” and Some Autobiographical Reflections* “debilitating problem” doesn’t get us any closer to a solution to all those intermediate cases lying between the poles. The tell-tale feature that inevitably characterizes this framework has been recognized in recent years by Robert Solow (1997)—namely the Roger W. Garrison** lack of any “real coupling” (Solow’s term) between the short run and the long run. In Solow’s reckoning, the two runs simply divide our discipline’s subject matter into (1) the problem of maintaining full employment of existing resources and (2) the I. Introduction: Setting the Stage determinants of economic growth. “Roundaboutness” is a concept featured in Austrian capital theory.

    [Revised Draft: Sept 22, 2010] MILTON FRIEDMAN: A BIBLIOGRAPHY1 Julio H. Cole Universidad Francisco Marroquín Abstract: Milton Friedman (1912-2006) was a world-famous public intellectual, an aspect of his work that was reflected largely in popular books, such as Capitalism and Freedom (1962) and Free to Choose (1980). Even if “Friedman the public intellectual” had never existed, however, “Friedman the economic scientist” would still be renowned and respected (though perhaps not as a world-class celebrity), and his memory will live long in the lore of economics. This bibliography, the first complete listing of his scholarly output, provides an indication of the breadth of his interests and the magnitude of his contribution to economic scholarship. A.
