Second, since the …rst volume, much attention has been paid by economists to the simple question: “Why are there cities?” The invention of the New Economic Geography represents an important and creative attempt to answer this question, though it is not the unique set of models capable of addressing it.

  • 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.

  • Absentee Landlord” Beast
    The Resurgence of the “Absentee Landlord” Beast By Philip A Farruggio Region: USA Global Research, August 05, 2019 Theme: Global Economy No politician from either of the Two Party/One Party imbroglio will ever mention anything about this Absentee Landlord disgrace. Sadly, absentee landlords have been with us since time in memoriam. These people were even mentioned in the story of Jesus in the New Testament. It seems everybody just accepts that people have a right to own property and rent it out to others who are in need of shelter. Making a profit on someone else’s critical want of a place to live is what ‘Makes Amerika Great Again’, right? No, wrong! This writer, before finally being able to afford my own home at the age of 45, always lived under the thumb of a landlord. For God’s sake, even the term Landlord comes straight out of Feudalism! The lord of the manor rented out parcels of his land to house the serfs who worked his property, or in some cases his coal mine (See the great 1993 Claude Berri film Germinal). In the fine 1987 John Sayles’ filmMatawan , practically the whole town of Matawan WV was owned by the coal company, and the miners all lived in cheaply built rental housing owned by the company. To add insult to this economic injury, they were logistically forced to shop at company stores using company script to purchase necessities at too high prices. Such is how feudalism operated, always, in the case of Matawan, under the guise of a ‘free market’ for labor.

    Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University Landlords at the Margins: Exploring the Dynamics of the One To Four Unit Rental Housing Industry Alan Mallach March 2007 RR07-15 Prepared for Revisiting Rental Housing: A National Policy Summit November 2006 © by Alan Mallach. All rights reserved. Short sections of text, not to exceed two paragraphs may be quoted without explicit permission provided that full credit, including © notice, is given to the source. Any opinions expressed are those of the author and not those of the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University or of any of the persons or organizations providing support to the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Abstract There are 18 million units in one to four unit rental housing properties in the United States, making up half of the nation’s rental housing stock, yet this sector of the rental housing industry has been largely neglected both by researchers and by policy-makers. This housing stock is particularly important as a resource for low and moderate income households in cities and older suburbs, and in areas of high immigration, such as northern New Jersey. After an overview of the one to four unit rental inventory nationally, and a closer look at a cluster of New Jersey cities, we examine the characteristics of the owners of this stock, their investment strategies, management and tenant selection decisions, financing options, and their relationships with governmental agencies. We find that there are wide variations within the sector, particularly between three distinct housing subtypes: single family detached, single family attached, and two to four family properties.

  • Hypergeorgism: When Rent Taxation Is Socially Optimal∗
    Hypergeorgism: When rent taxation is socially optimal∗ Ottmar Edenhoferyz, Linus Mattauch,x Jan Siegmeier{ June 25, 2014 Abstract Imperfect altruism between generations may lead to insufficient capital accumulation. We study the welfare consequences of taxing the rent on a fixed production factor, such as land, in combination with age-dependent redistributions as a remedy. Taxing rent enhances welfare by increasing capital investment. This holds for any tax rate and recycling of the tax revenues except for combinations of high taxes and strongly redistributive recycling. We prove that specific forms of recycling the land rent tax - a transfer directed at fundless newborns or a capital subsidy - allow reproducing the social optimum under pa- rameter restrictions valid for most economies.

  • The Great Irish Famine in History-Writing and Prose Fiction ”The Mutual Interplay of Two Narrative Genres”
    This interdisciplinary study analyses three 20th century fictional representa- tions of the Great Irish Famine in relation to nationalist, revisionist, and post-revisionist historical interpretations of the event. It examines how writers of history and fiction respectively portray the causes and consequences of the famine, and particularly how they view the question of responsibility, which is still a matter of contention. Gunilla Bexar asks to what extent the fictional representations reflect or resist | 2016 in History-Writing Fiction Irish and Prose Great The Famine Gunilla Bexar | the interpretations of the historians, and how the two genres attempt to make the experiences of the victims visible to readers. The study provides further Gunilla Bexar historical context by incorporating contemporary eye-witness accounts, offi- cial correspondence, and newspaper reports in the analyses. Drawing on Paul Ricoeur’s theory of the interweaving of history and fiction, Bex- The Great Irish Famine in ar argues that literature plays an important part in the shaping of historical con- sciousness. History and fiction should not be seen as mutually antithetical dis- History-Writing and Prose Fiction courses in the representation of the past since fiction, through its focus on the vic- tims, who are often reduced to statistics in history-writing, can mediate a deeper “The Mutual Interplay of Two Narrative Genres” understanding of the human tragedy that epitomizes the Great Irish Famine. 9 789517 658249 ISBN 978-951-765-824-9 Gunilla Bexar has an MA degree in English literature from San Francisco State University.
