  • Economic Development Internationalist of the Week
    PAD6836 Lecture 8 University of North Florida Master of Public Administration program PAD 6836 Comparative public administration Economic development Internationalist of the week photo credit Manmohan Singh * Among other things, in our discussions of corruption we’ve noted that there is a difficult cycle to break out of in terms of governance: poor countries cannot afford to pay salaries that attract competent people into public service, and as a result of the corruption and inefficiency that results, citizens have little inclination to pay the taxes needed to attract and keep good people in public administration. George’s more or less random thoughts on development Progress! The general idea of economic development is to increase the productivity of society so that it produces more goods and services. Everyone wants it. Especially among left-wing critics, development (even ‘progress’) is often criticized as being materialistic, and/or a Western pathology acting as a siren’s song to lure traditional societies out of their Ruritanian idyls (I’m not sure if ‘idyl’ works with Ruritanian, but it sounds good – click for a discussion of Ruritania). This is probably not the case, for at least two reasons: 1. There isn’t much evidence to support this, among actually existing human societies (an exception). 2. Critics seem unable to understand that at lower levels of development, ‘more stuff’ means housing that protects one from the elements and vermin, health care, more efficient tools, etc. Preconditions. Causes of economic growth (drawing from Parkin 2005, with many modifications) Free markets – understood as relatively free, given what is possible in an imperfect world.

  • Some Historical Notes on Ecological Sensibilities in Modern Western Culture
    Some Historical Notes on Ecological Sensibilities in Modern Western Culture A revised version of a lecture given in the School of Economics of the University of Hyderabad in 2014 by Mark Lindley In Western culture since ca.1800, ecological sensibilities, though hardly dominant, have cropped up now and then in one way and another. This essay will include succinct descriptions of some examples illus- trating various points of concern (highlighted in bold-face font). • In 1798, Thomas Malthus, a top English economist of the generation after Adam Smith, had said that “The power [i.e. rate] of [human] population [increase] is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race.” He said it would happen by means of “war, pestilence, [and] famine”. (The number of humans at that time was about one thousand million.) • In 1804, William Blake published a powerful poem (though only 16 lines long) contrasting (a) the working conditions in the English cotton mills and the air pollution which their coal-burning steam engines were causing, with (b) a utopian concept of a green “new Jerusalem” in England where, he imagined, Jesus had supposedly once visited. Some lines from the poem are: “And did the Countenance Divine / Shine forth upon our clouded hills? / And was Jerusalem buildèd here / Among these dark Satanic mills?”. (A musical setting of this poem is beloved today in England. Many Brits want it to be the national anthem.) • In 1797, a French hydraulic engineer, Jean Antoine Fabre, published a book explaining (among other things) how streams flowing fast on micro-watersheds become torrents ravaging fertile valley floors.
