Dear Prudence: W.F. Lloyd on Population Growth and the Natural Wage
Dear Prudence: W.F. Lloyd on Population Growth and the Natural Wage Michael V. White Economics Department, Monash University [email protected] Presented to the Twenty-Third Conference of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia, University of Sydney, 7-9 July 2010. [T]hough the interest of the labourer is strictly connected with that of the society, he is incapable either of comprehending that interest, or of understanding its connection with his own. His condition leaves him no time to receive the necessary information, and his education and habits are commonly such as to render him unfit to judge even though he was fully informed. In the publick deliberations, therefore, his voice is little heard and less regarded… Adam Smith [(1776) 1976a, I, xi, p.266] The Reverend William Forster Lloyd, Student of Christ Church and former lecturer in mathematics, was elected as the third Drummond professor of political economy at Oxford University in February 1832. Following the requirements of the university statute which established the chair, Lloyd published the first of his lectures, titled “Two lectures on the checks to population”, in the next year [Lloyd 1833]. Having read that pamphlet, the radical Francis Place wrote to Lloyd because they were both “fellow labourers for the benefit of the people”. Place had concluded that Lloyd followed Thomas Robert Malthus and Thomas Chalmers in recommending “late marriages[,] the parties in the meantime living chastely”, as the cure for excessive population growth and hence the condition of “the working people”.

1. the Damnation of Economics
Notes 1. The Damnation of Economics 1. One example of vice-regal patronage of anti-economics is Canada’s ‘Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction’. In 1995 this honour was bestowed upon John Raulston Saul’s anti-economic polemic The Unconscious Civilization (published in 1996). A taste of Saul’s wisdom: ‘Over the last quarter-century economics has raised itself to the level of a scientific profession and more or less foisted a Nobel Prize in its own honour onto the Nobel committee thanks to annual financing from a bank. Yet over the same 25 years, economics has been spectacularly unsuc- cessful in its attempts to apply its models and theories to the reality of our civili- sation’ (Saul 1996, p. 4). See Pusey (1991) and Cox (1995) for examples of patronage of anti-economics by Research Councils and Broadcasting Corporations. 2. Another example of economists’ ‘stillness’: the economists of 1860 did not join the numerous editorial rebukes of Ruskin’s anti-economics tracts (Anthony, 1983). 3. The anti-economist is not to be contrasted with the economist. An economist (that is, a person with a specialist knowledge of economics) may be an anti- economist. The true obverse of anti-economist is ‘philo-economist’: someone who holds that economics is a boon. 4. One may think of economics as a disease (as the anti-economist does), or one may think of economics as diseased. Mark Blaug: ‘Modern economics is “sick” . To para- phrase the title of a popular British musical: “No Reality, Please. We’re Economists”’ (Blaug 1998, p. -

Volume One School of Vocational, Technology and Arts Education Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date:……………………………………………………………………… Abstract This thesis tells the story of an historical tradition of radical literacy and literature that is defined as the British radical literary tradition. It takes the meaning of literature at its broadest understanding and identifies the literary and educational relations of what E P Thompson terms ‘the making of the English working class’ through its struggle for literacy and freedom. The study traces the developing dialectic of literary radicalism and the emergent hegemony of capitalism through the dissemination of radical ideas in literature and a groundswell of public literacy. The proposed radical tradition is defined by the oppositional stance of its participants, from the radical intellectual’s critical texts to the striving for literacy and access to literature by working class people. -
Resolving Polanyi's Paradox
11 afterword: resolving polanyi’s paradox Michael Burawoy Over the last 30 years Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation, first published in 1944, has become a canonical text in several inter-related social sciences – sociology, geography, anthropology, international political economy, as well as making in-roads into political science and economics. Undoubtedly, part of its appeal lies in the resonance of his theories with our times which have been marked by the deregulation of markets and their extension into new realms. Polanyi argued that the rise of market fundamentalism had devastating conse- quences for society, leading to protective countermovements that could be of a progressive or reactionary character. From the perspective of today’s market fun- damentalism, Polanyi’s countermovement effectively frames, on the one hand, the democratic social movements of 2011, including the Arab Spring, Occupy, and Indignados, and, on the other hand, the more recent advance of illiberal democracies, often veering toward dictatorships, in Turkey, Poland, Hungary, the Philippines, Brazil, Italy, Israel and Egypt. It also frames an understanding of such popular movements behind Brexit, Trumpism, the Five Star Movement, and the Yellow Vests as a reaction to an expanding market that commodifies, denigrates and excludes. It is the obvious appeal of Polanyi’s argument that now leads commentators to evaluate his writings critically and with renewed inten- sity, searching for answers to crises of a global scale. critiques of polanyi The most common criticism of The Great Transformation is Polanyi’s failure to anticipate another round of market fundamentalism beginning in the 1970s that has continued virtually unabated for nearly 50 years. -

Padding Satirizes Owenism Mentor L
Padding Satirizes Owenism Mentor L. Williams* One Sunday in August, 1826, Robert Owen stood before the assembled Owenites of New Harmony, Indiana, and read them passages from a book that had just come into his hands, The Merry Tales of the Three Wise Men of G0tham.l James Kirke Paulding, satirist extraordinary, de- fender and protector of the American name and faith, had scored another contemporary success. The Merry Tales, like its predecessors, The Diverting History of John Bull and Brother Jonathan (1812), The United States and England (1822), John Bull in America (1825), was another of Pauld- ing’s satires in the “paper war” between Great Britain and the United States. The anti-British virus that had infected so many American writers produced in Paulding an inter- mittent fever the recurrences of which required little or no provocation. Paulding’s animus was directed at the British travelers in the books cited above; it was leveled at Scott in The Lay of the Scottish Fiddle (1813) and Koningsmarke (1823). In The Merry Tales it was Owenism, English legal procedure, and phrenology that incurred Paulding’s wrath.2 Though the story of Owen’s experimental community has been told and ret~ld,~often with a needless amount of * Dr. Mentor L.

An Unpublished Letter from James Mill to Jean-Baptiste Say Victor Bianchini & Nicolas Rieucau Forty years ago, on the occasion of the publication of two unpublished letters from J. Mill to J.-B. Say, A. Heertje underlined that “although Say was a friend and correspondent of James Mill, letters from Mill to Say seldom turn up”1. Dated the 25th of February 1817 and the 28th of May 1825, the letters published by A. Heertje were purchased from a Parisian bookshop and, outside the private collections of autographs, to our knowledge, no correspondence between J. Mill and J.-B. Say had been hitherto reported. Thanks to the development of electronic catalogues, it is now possible to find other traces of the epistolary relationship between J. -

The work assesses the functionality and operation, in both Ireland and the US, of Irish culture as a dynamic but discordant friction within the Anglophone world. Ireland’s unique geopolitical position and its religious constitution nurtured an agrarianism that shared its intellectual roots with American republicanism. This study details how the crisis of Irish land invigorated both traditions as an effective oppositional culture to the processes of modernity.
