  • Imperialism, Racism, and Fear of Democracy in Richard Ely's Progressivism
    The Rot at the Heart of American Progressivism: Imperialism, Racism, and Fear of Democracy in Richard Ely's Progressivism Gerald Friedman Department of Economics University of Massachusetts at Amherst November 8, 2015 This is a sketch of my long overdue intellectual biography of Richard Ely. It has been way too long in the making and I have accumulated many more debts than I can acknowledge here. In particular, I am grateful to Katherine Auspitz, James Boyce, Bruce Laurie, Tami Ohler, and Jean-Christian Vinel, and seminar participants at Bard, Paris IV, Paris VII, and the Five College Social History Workshop. I am grateful for research assistance from Daniel McDonald. James Boyce suggested that if I really wanted to write this book then I would have done it already. And Debbie Jacobson encouraged me to prioritize so that I could get it done. 1 The Ely problem and the problem of American progressivism The problem of American Exceptionalism arose in the puzzle of the American progressive movement.1 In the wake of the Revolution, Civil War, Emancipation, and radical Reconstruction, no one would have characterized the United States as a conservative polity. The new Republican party took the United States through bloody war to establish a national government that distributed property to settlers, established a national fiat currency and banking system, a progressive income tax, extensive program of internal improvements and nationally- funded education, and enacted constitutional amendments establishing national citizenship and voting rights for all men, and the uncompensated emancipation of the slave with the abolition of a social system that had dominated a large part of the country.2 Nor were they done.

  • Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan
    Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan Don Patinkin his is a story that illustrates the interrelationship between economic his- tory and economic thought: more precisely, between monetary history T and monetary thought. So let me begin with a very brief discussion of the relevant history. In 1879, the United States returned to the gold standard from which it had departed at the time of the Civil War. This took place in a period in which “a combination of events, including a slowing of the rate of increase of the world’s stock of gold, the adoption of the gold standard by a widening circle of countries, and a rapid increase in aggregate economic output, produced a secular decline ˙.. in the world price level measured in gold˙...” (Friedman and Schwartz 1963, p. 91; for further details, see Friedman 1990, and Laidler 1991, pp. 49–50). The specific situation thus generated in the United States was de- scribed by Irving Fisher (1913c, p. 27) in the following words: “For a quarter of a century—from 1873 to 1896—the dollar increased in purchasing power and caused a prolonged depression of trade, culminating in the political upheaval which led to the free silver campaign of 1896, when the remedy proposed was worse than the disease.” This was, of course, the campaign which climaxed with William J. Bryan’s famous “cross of gold” speech in the presidential election of 1896. Fisher’s view of this campaign reflected the fact that it called for the unlimited coinage of silver at a mint price far higher than its market value, a policy that would have led to a tremendous increase in the quantity of money and the consequent generation of strong inflationary pressures.

A host of programs were added that in themselves ac- count for a substantial share of the growth of government in the twentieth cen- tury, and the propensity to add new programs increased. The New Deal was the result of a unique concatenation of forces: the unprecedented magnitude of the contraction, the political accident that the party favoring bigger government was out of power when the contraction began, and the unique personalities of Hoover and Roosevelt were among the most important. Moreover, as many historians of the Great Depression have recognized, there was an important ideological factor in the equation: intellectuals had already been converted to the cause of an expanded federal sector.

  • John Bates Clark As a Pioneering Neoclassical Economist Thomas C
    “A Certain Rude Honesty”: John Bates Clark as a Pioneering Neoclassical Economist Thomas C. Leonard John Bates Clark (1847–1938), the most eminent American economist of a century ago, was, in his own day, caricatured as an apologist for laissez-faire capitalism (Veblen 1908).1 The caricature has shown stay- ing power, a measure, perhaps, of the relative paucity of scholarship on Clark and his work. Recent Clark research signals a welcome attempt at a more accurate portrait (Morgan 1994; Henry 1995; Persky 2000). But some revisionists would remake Clark the apologist for capital into Clark the Progressive exemplar. Robert Prasch (1998, 2000), for exam- ple, depicts Clark as a Progressive paragon, which groups him with the greatreformers of Progressive-Era politicaleconomy—Social Gospel- ers such as Richard T. Ely and his protégé John R. Commons, labor leg- islation activists such as Clark’s junior colleague Henry Rogers Seager Correspondence may be addressed to Thomas C.

  • Was John Bates Clark a Neoclassical Or a Progressive?
    A Certain Rude Honesty: Was John Bates Clark a Neoclassical or a Progressive? Forthcoming in History of Political Economy 34 Thomas C. Leonard Dept. of Economics Fisher Hall Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 [email protected] tel: (609) 258-4036 fax: (609) 258-5561 February 22, 2002 1 A Certain Rude Honesty: Was John Bates Clark a Neoclassical or a Progressive? Introduction In his own day, John Bates Clark (1847-1938) was caricatured as an apologist for laissez-faire capitalism (Veblen 1908).1 The caricature has shown staying power, a measure, perhaps, of the relative paucity of scholarship on Clark and his work. Recent Clark research signals a welcome attempt at a more rounded portrait of the most eminent American political economist of a century ago (Morgan 1994, Henry 1995, Persky 2000). But, as is routinely the case with revisionist work, some new scholarship goes too far. Some revisionists remake Clark the apologist for capital into its inverse – Clark the progressive exemplar. Prasch (1998, 2000), for example, depicts Clark as a progressive paragon, which groups him with the great reformers of Progressive-era political economy – Social Gospelers such as Richard T. Ely and his protégé John R. Commons, labor legislation activists such as Clark’s junior colleague Henry R. Seager and Commons’s student John B. Andrews, and Fabian socialists such as Sidney Webb. This paper argues that John Bates Clark is neither a partisan of Capital, as the caricature had it, nor a partisan of Labor, as were the progressives. Especially with respect to the leading issues of the day – labor relations and trust regulation – Clark is better regarded as a nascent American neoclassical, a partisan of what came to be called efficiency.

  • Professional Economists and Policymaking in the United States, 1880-1929
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: IRRELEVANT GENIUS: PROFESSIONAL ECONOMISTS AND POLICYMAKING IN THE UNITED STATES, 1880-1929 Jonathan S. Franklin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation Directed By: Professor David B. Sicilia, Department of History The rapid establishment and expansion of economics departments in colleges across the United State in the late nineteenth century indicates a significant shift in the way Americans understood economic science and its importance to federal economic policy. This dissertation addresses that phenomenon by explaining how American economists professionalized; and how that process influenced economic policymaking in the U.S. from the formation of the American Economic Association in 1885 to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Chapters alternate between analyzing the dilemmas economists faced while crafting a distinct academic discipline and investing early professional economists’ role in the federal economic policymaking process. Three emerging themes help explain the consistent failure of early U.S. economists to translate modern economic theory to economic policy in a timely fashion. First, public skepticism and the persistence of folk economics proved to be a powerful deterrent to professionally-trained economists’ authority in debates over policy matters. The combination of democratic idealism, populist politics, and skepticism regarding the motivations of professionally-trained economists undercut much of the social prestige professional economists garnered as educated elites. Second, disagreement among professional economists, often brought on by young economists’ efforts to overturn a century’s worth of received wisdom in classical economic theory, fostered considerable dissent within the field. Dissent, in turn, undermined the authority of professional economists and often led to doubt regarding economists’ abilities among the public and policy compromises that failed to solve economic problems.

  • Quantity Theory of Money in the Long Run and the Short Run
    David Hume and Irving Fisher on the Quantity Theory of Money in the Long Run and the Short Run Robert W. Dimand1 Introduction: Hume and Fisher as Quantity Theorists The quantity theory of money, according to which the level of prices (the inverse of the purchasing power of money) depends on the quantity of money, is, as Mark Blaug (1995) remarked, the oldest surviving theory in economics, even though, as David Laidler (1991b) notes, it is always and everywhere controversial. Martin de Azpilcueta Navarro in 1556 (translated by Marjorie Grice‐Hutchinson 1952) and Jean Bodin in 1568 (translated in Monroe 1924) invoked the inflow of gold from Mexico and Upper Peru into Spain to explain the rise of European prices in the Sixteenth Century, although Thomas Guggenheim (1989, Chapter 2) is rightly skeptical of efforts to read quantity‐theoretic reasoning into such much earlier writers as Xenophon or the Roman jurist Julius Paulus. Notwithstanding the substantial body of pre‐classical monetary discussion, it makes sense to take David Hume’s Political Discourses (1752a, b, c, d) as the starting‐point for the history of classical and modern monetary theory, as is done by Arie Arnon’s Monetary Theory and Policy from Hume and Smith to Wicksell (2011). As Guggenheim (1989, p. 35) points out, “The idea of a proportional relation between monetary mass and level of prices, which is so often associated with the quantity theory, originated with Hume.” Milton Friedman began his 1987 New Palgrave article on the quantity theory of money (reprinted in Durlauf and Blume 2010) not with his own words, but with two paragraphs of quotation, one from Hume’s “Of Interest” (1752b) and then one from Hume’s “Of Money” (1752a).

    Comments of Present and Former Colleagues and Graduate Students on This Book “What a completely wonderful, beautiful book! I look forward to reading it. I was really moved by the inscription you wrote. Thank you so much. It is hard for me to believe, but I am now the most senior member of the department. I’m doing my best to keep the spirit of intellectual pluralism and adventurousness alive, but sometimes it is hard given all of the pressures the department is under. Your book, I think, will do much to remind people of values and spirit which have sustained us.” - Erik Wright, colleague, University of Wisconsin (deceased Jan. 22, 2019) “I have recently joined what I suspect are the exclusive ranks of those who have read the entirety of your 1200 plus page colossal, encyclopedic history of the UW Sociology Department (and its Rural Sociology and Anthropology offspring). When I embarked on the Political Science history, I tracked down most of the dozen or so departmental histories then in existence; I can attest that none of them re- motely compare to yours in their scope, the richness of their detail, or the extraor- dinary scope of the research that you undertook. The accomplishment becomes all the more impressive if, as you suggest in the foreword, you were entirely on your own in this venture, and did not have the funding that I did to hire several research assistants. The amount of material you gathered, and the rich biographical de- tail you provide about the generations of Department faculty as well as many of the graduate students is truly breathtaking.
