Most of them were com- posed under the immediate impression of the characters described. They are offered to the reader (except in the case of the 1 as this essay on Robert Malthus ) being of nature not written coolly, long afterwards. In the per- spective of history. The essays on Mr. Lloyd George and on Robert Malthus have not been published previ- ously. References to the sources of the other essays are given in an appendix. In the second section some scattered commentary will be found on the history and progress of economic doctrine; though my main purpose has been bio- graphical. Incidentally, I have sought with some touches ofdetail to bring out the solidarity and historical continuity of the High Intelligentsia of England, who have built up the foundations of our thought in the two and a half centuries, since Locke, in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, wrote the first modern English book. I relate below (p. 70) the amazing progeny of Sir George Villiers. But the lineage of the High In- telligentsia is hardly less interbred and spiritually inter- mixed. Let the Villiers Connection fascinate the monarch or the mob and rule, or seem to rule, passing events. There is also a pride of sentiment to claim spiritual kinship with the Locke Connection and that 1 [The essays on Jevons and Newton are also exceptions in the present edition,] vl ESSAYS IN BIOGRAPHY long English line, intellectually and humanly linked with one another,, to which the names in my second section belong.

Diaghilev and London
Diaghilev and London, A Talk by Graham Bennett, Crouch End and District U3A member We are not exactly the best of friends with Russia these days - But just over a century ago, Russia exported something that actually transformed the cultural life of London. This talk is about a quite extraordinary Russian Impresario and two equally extraordinary women who were part of his project The project was a Russian Dance Company that created a revolution in the world of dance, and London was to play a big part in its success. This company is the Ballet Russes. The impresario is Serge Diaghilev, born in 1872 in Perm in deepest Russia, who would create the Ballet Russes. Lydia Lopokova from St Petersburg, born in 1892, one of Diaghilev's star ballerinas. And last but not least, our very own Hilda Munnings from Wanstead in East London, born in 1896. Also to become a vitally important member of the company The story starts in St Petersburg in 1901, the heart of the Russian Empire, at the famous Mariinsky Theatre. Their choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Tchaikovsky had already created masterpieces such as The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. These are such familiar names to us today but they were virtually unknown outside Russia at that time. Over in England we were still having a jolly knees up and sing-along at the Music Hall and even in France, ballet had degenerated to a pale shadow of its former glory. In 1901, Lydia Lopokova, just 9 years old, auditioned for a place at the prestigious Imperial Theatre School in St Petersburg.

Following the ﬁ nancial crisis of September 2008 when the Ameri- can investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, threatening to engulf the entire banking system, the British economist John Maynard Keynes returned to center stage. In the pop u lar press and in the writings of many economists, Keynes featured promi- nently as governments around the world urgently sought ways to avoid economic collapse. In the United States, the New York Times contained articles titled “What would Keynes have done?” (October 28, 2008), “The old economist, relevant amid the rub- ble” (September 18, 2009), and “An old master back in fashion” (November 1, 2009).

Lynn Garafola Most Fruitful Experiments in His Company's History
• ON 11 JANUARY 1916 DIAGHILEV and his Ballets Russessteamed into New York harbor for the first of two lengthy tours of the United States. Both began in New York, THE then crisscrossed the country, giving Americans in no fewer than fifty-one cities a taste of Diaghilev's fabled entertainment. The company that made these 1916-1917 tours was BALLETS RUSSES different from the one Europeans knew. There were few stars and many new faces and a repertory that gave only a hint of Diaghilev's growing experimentalism. The Ballets Russes IN AMERICA never triumphed in the United States, as it had in Europe, nor did it immediately influence the course of American ballet. But the tours set in motion changes within the Ballets Russes itself that had lasting consequences. Thanks to American dollars, Diaghilev rebuilt the company temporaril y disbanded by World War I while conducting some of the Lynn Garafola most fruitful experiments in his company's history. Those sa me dollars paid for the only ballet to have its premiere in the New World-Vaslav Nijinsky's Till Eulenspiegel. In size, personnel, and social relations, the Ballets Russes of the American tours marked the bi rth of Diaghilev's postwar company. Diaghilev had long toyed with the idea of an American tour. But only in 1914, when debt threatened the very life of his enterprise, did he take steps to convert the idea into a reality. "Have had several interviews ... Diaghileff about Ballet for New York," Addie Kahn wired her husband, Otto, chairman of the Metropolitan Opera's board of directors, from London on 18 July 1914: [Is] most insistent troupe shou ld go America this winter for urgent reasons too complicated to cable upon which largely depend continuance of organization.

Galbraith on Keynes
Galbraith on Keynes In a classic, The“ Age of Uncertainty”, the author, late economist John Kenneth Galbraith, writes on Lord Keynes. “Keynes was born in 1883, the year that Karl Marx died. His mother, Florence Ada Keynes, a woman of high intelligence, was diligent in good works, a respected community leader and, in late life, the mayor of < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cambridge. His father, John Neville Keynes, was an economist, logician and for some fifteen years the Registrary, which is to say the chief administrative officer of the University of Cambridge. Maynard, as he was always known to friends, went to Eton, where his first interest was in mathematics. Then he went to King's College, after Trinity the most prestigious of the Cambridge colleges and the one noted especially for its economists. Keynes was to add both to its prestige in economics and, as its bursar, to its wealth. Churchill held – where I confess escapes me – that great men usually have unhappy childhoods. At both Eton and Cambridge, Keynes, by his own account and that of his contemporaries, was exceedingly happy. The point could be important. Keynes never sought to change the world out of any sense of personal dissatisfaction or discontent. Marx swore that the bourgeoisie would suffer for his poverty and his carbuncles. Keynes experienced neither poverty nor boils. For him the world was excellent. While at King's, Keynes was one of a group of ardent young intellectuals which included Lytton Strachey, Leonard Woolf and Clive Bell. All, with wives – Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell- and lovers, would assemble later in London as the Bloomsbury Group.

A Short Guide to Keynes and German Translations of His Works, Especially the General Theory
518297‐LLP‐2011‐IT‐ERASMUS‐FEXI A SHORT GUIDE TO KEYNES AND GERMAN TRANSLATIONS OF HIS WORKS, ESPECIALLY THE GENERAL THEORY NIELS GEIGER UNIVERSITÄT HOHENHEIM STUTTGART, GERMANY [email protected] ABSTRACT This guide aims at providing an introduction to the general context within which the translation of Keynes’s works into German, especially the most interesting case of the General Theory is to be seen. The guide thus relates to the related research paper by Harald Hagemann. The guide provides short overviews on Keynes’s biography, his works (including a short overview of German translations), and his legacy. Some exercises and a short test conclude the guide. “The study of economics does not seem to require any specialised gifts of an unusually high order. Is it not, intellectually regarded, a very easy subject compared with the higher branches of philosophy and pure science? Yet good, or even competent, economists are the rarest of birds. An easy subject at which very few excel! The paradox finds its explanation, perhaps, in that the master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. He must reach a high standard in several different directions and must combine talents not often found together. He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher - in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man's nature or his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard.
