PREFACE A serious student of the American political tradition cannot avoid an attempt to understand the nature of the American conception of the proper role of the government in economic affairs. This research project grew out of an attempt to understand that traditional conception as well as an attempt to understand John Maynard Keynes' theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs. The purpose of this study is two fold: first, the author wants to determine if Keynes' theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs represents a "radical deviation" from the American tradition; and second, he wants to determine if Keynes1 theory has been widely advocated in the United States. The methods utilized in this study are analytical and historical. The author attempts to understand Keynes in historical context and to appraise the extent to which Keynes' ideas have been advocated in the United States. Keynes' theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs is then compared with the model of empirical collectivism as developed by Professors Coker and Shields. This study is not intended to represent a definitive interpre­ tation of American thought. The study is based on an empirical collectivist interpretation of the American tradition. The scope of this study is limited to an examination of John Maynard Keynes1 theory iii of governmental intervention in economic affairs, and an analysis of the advocacy of one facet of that theory by three Presidents of the United States. I must acknowledge the general debt I owe to my professors at the University of Arizona. However, I owe a special debt to my major advisor, Professor Currin V. Shields. Without his guidance and criticism this work would not have been possible. I also must acknowledge the patient forebearance of my wife, Dorothy. Robert D.

A HYPOTHETICAL ECONOMY 87 •ii ABSTRACT This study concerns one of the most significant of all political questions: What is the proper role of government in economy? One extreme ideological response to this question is that of laissez- faire: the government should be minimally involved in a nation's economic affairs. Another extreme, but contrary, response to this question is that of socialism: the government should own and operate the means of producing and distributing wealth. A middle position is that of the "mixed economy": the government should intervene in economic affairs, but it need not own or operate the means of producing and distributing wealth. Government should take whatever action is deemed appropriate to satisfy its role as a public problem solver. The doctrines of laissez-faire and socialism have both been advocated in the United States, particularly since the Civil War, but they are not now and never have been the traditional American response to the question. The United States has a long and venerable heritage of using collective action to solve public problems. A significant aspect of that heritage is its pronounced empirical nature. The American tradition of collectivism is not doctrinaire, as are both laissez-faire and socialism. The traditional American response to the issue of the proper role of government in economic affairs has been that of the middle position—the "mixed economy." viii ix The famed British economist John Maynard Keynes advanced a theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs which is, basically, an empirical collectivist theory. Keynes argued for governmental intervention in economic affairs as a means of stimulating the economy to full employment. Such stimulation is necessary, Keynes argued, because the economy is not self-sustaining. Many persons have contended that the implementation of Keynes' theory in the United States represents a "radical deviation" from the basic American tradition. It does not. Keynes' theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs agrees with the American tradition of empirical collectivism. Keynes' fiscal policy concepts are the most important aspect of his theory of governmental intervention in economic affairs. Since the end of the Second World War, Keynesian fiscal policy concepts have been advocated by the Presidents of the United States. The Presidents' advocacy of such concepts represents further institutionalization of the idea of the "mixed economy" in America. CHAPTER I THE AMERICAN TRADITION OF EMPIRICAL COLLECTIVISM1 One of the most significant of all political questions involves the determination of the proper role of the government in the economic affairs of a nation. The very existence of government, means, of course, that it has an impact upon a nation's economy. The question of the "proper role" of government in economic affairs, then, is one of degree. Should the government's intervention be minimal or should it control entirely the nation's economic affairs? Or should it assume some middle position? How a political community answers this question, and why, reflects, in large measure, the nature of that political community. An extreme ideological position concerning the proper role of government in economic affairs has traditionally been defined as "laissez-faire." This position views the government in a passive role. Advocates of laissez-faire contend that distribution of goods and services "best" for the functioning of the economic system will naturally result if governmental involvement in economic affairs is held to a minimum. 1. The name and much of what is included in this chapter is taken from Currin V. Shields, "The American Tradition of Empirical Collectivism," American Political Science Review, XLVI (March, 1952), pp. 10^-121. The very large debt which this chapter owes to the above article as well as Professor Francis W. Coker's, Recent Political Thought (New York: Appleton-Century, Inc., 193*0 must be acknowledged. 1 2 Laissez-faire doctrine is generally associated with the physiocrats of eighteenth century France and the later English Q "classical" political economists.

  • Online Appendix Of: Rage Against the Machines: Labor-Saving Technology and Unrest in Industrializing England
    Online Appendix of: Rage Against the Machines: Labor-Saving Technology and Unrest in Industrializing England Bruno Caprettini and Hans-Joachim Voth February 18, 2020 1 A Data appendix In this appendix, we describe all the steps that are necessary to create the dataset used in our analysis. A.1 Dataset construction To construct our database, we start from the map of ancient parishes of England and Wales prepared by Southall and Burton(2004). This map derives from earlier electronic maps by Kain and Oliver(2001), and contains a GIS database of all parishes of England and Wales in 1851. It consists of 22,729 separate polygons, each identifying a separate location. These are smaller than a parish, so that a given parish is often composed of several polygons. Because we observe all our variables at the parish level, we start by aggregating the 22,729 polygons into 11,285 parishes.1 Next, we aggregate a subset of these parishes into larger units of observation. We do this in two cases. First, large urban areas such as London, Liverpool or Manchester consists of several distinct parishes. Treating these areas as separate observations is incorrect, because we always observe riots and threshing machines for a whole city, and we generally not able to assign them to any specific area within a city. Thus, all parishes belonging to a city form a single observation. We also aggregate different parishes into larger units when the information from at least one of our sources does not allow us to compute one of our variables more precisely.

  • John Maynard Keynes of Bloomsbury: Four Short Talks
    John Maynard Keynes of Bloomsbury: Four Short Talks by Craufurd Goodwin E. Roy Weintraub Kevin D. Hoover Bruce Caldwell 17 February 2009 The inaugural event of the Center for the History of Political Economy. Presented at the Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University in conjunction with Vision and Design: A Year of Bloomsbury,a campus­wide interdisciplinary program surrounding an exhibition of Bloomsbury art at the Nasher Museum. Maynard Keynes of Bloomsbury Goodwin I Maynard Keynes of Bloomsbury by Craufurd Goodwin My main message this evening is that John Maynard Keynes (Maynard to his friends), contrary to popular belief and recent caricatures in the media, was much more than a tax and spend liberal. Indeed, he was a liberal only in the original sense of that term, in that he placed the highest value on human freedom, and he believed that this freedom could most likely be gained and preserved within a smoothly functioning competitive market economy. Unlike many of the economists of his time, notably the so­called “American Institutionalists” with whom he is often mistakenly grouped, he was deeply suspicious of government and was constantly searching for solutions to economic problems through actions in the private sector rather than the public sphere. Maynard Keynes served in government for extended periods throughout his career, so he really knew whereof he wrote. Keynes is best known, of course, for observing that a serious flaw in the competitive market economy is that the aggregate demand for goods and services tends to fluctuate over time and may be inadequate on occasion to sustain the potential production of the economy; unemployment and stagnation may result.

    T ESTATES OP TE GLARE FAMILY, 1066-1317 Jennifer Clare W&rd. Q7 17DEC1962 .2 THE ESTATP OP THE CURE FANILY, 1066 - 1317. ABSTRACT Throughout the early Middle Ages, the Clare earls of Hertford and. Gloucester were prominent figures on the political scene. Their position as baronial leaders was derived from their landed wealth, and was built up gradually over two hundred and fifty years. Richard I de Clare arrived in England in 1066 as a Norman adventurer, and was granted the honours of Tonbridge and Clare. The family more than doubled its laths during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, mainly by inheritance, the greatest acquisition being the honour of Gloucester in 1217. Only in the first half of the twelfth century was the honour an autonomous unit. In the honour of Clare, the earls relied on their own tenants as officials in the twelfth century, but in the thirteenth the administration was professional and bureaucratic. The earl's relations with his sub-tenants are unknown before the early fourteenth century; then, in contrast to other estates, the Clare honour-court was busy, strong and fairly efficient. In contrast to the honours of Clare and Gloucester, held of the king in chief, Tonbridge was held of the archbishop of Canterbury, and the relationship between archbishop and earl was the subject of several disputes. As to franchises, the earl exercised the highest which he possessed in England at Tonbridge; elsewhere he appropriated franchises on a large scale during the Barons' Wars of 1258-1265, but most of these were surrendered as a result of Edward I's quo warranto proceedings.

  • Students Brief
    Students Brief JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES, 1883 - 1916 - THE MAN BEHIND THE NAME by R H Grieve, Department of Economics University of Strathclyde On the 5th June this year there falls the hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Maynard Keynes - Lord Keynes of Tilton - the greatest and most influential economist of this century. His is one of the few names of economists familiar to the general public. That this is so, nearly forty years after his death, is an indication of the enormous impact which his ideas have had on economic theory and policy. Since the publication in 1936 of his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money a great part of the intellectual effort of the economics profession has been devoted to explaining, extending or attempting to escape from the interpretation of the working of the economic system presented in that work. In academic and in popular discussion of unemployment and inflation the epithet "Keynesian" is bandied about by theorists, journalists and politicians - applied sometimes as a term of commendation, sometimes as a term of abuse. The purpose of the present piece is to convey some impression - as it may be gleaned from his writings and from the memoirs of those who knew him - of the man behind the name. It is opportune to give thought to Keynes and to the nature of his contribution not simply because this happens to be his centenary year, but particularly because the social disaster of mass unemployment, to the elimination of which his energies were passionately committed, has again befallen the world economy.
