It grew out of the advances she was making on many fronts in the years of World War II and afterwards. The major influ- ences on her were John Maynard Keynes; her work on Karl Marx placed within a fruitful setting and approach by Michał Kalecki (Piero Sraffa teased her that she seemed to regard ‘Marx as a little-known forerunner of Kalecki’, see Joan Robinson 1942; 1966, vi); her Introduction (1951) to the English translation of Rosa Luxemburg’s Accumulation of Capital; Roy Harrod’s seminal work on dynamic theory just before (1939) and soon after the end of the war (1948); pressing real-world problems asso- ciated with the postwar reconstruction of Europe; and the emergence of consciousness about development in underdeveloped societies in the economics profession of developed societies. Keynes’s revolution was increasingly being accepted in both academia and government. Attention was turning from the employment-creating effects of accumulation to its capacity-creating effects. In the view of his immediate colleagues and disciples in Cambridge, he had conquered the short period in a macroeconomic sense so that they, taking into account these other influences, turned their attention to the generalisa- tion of The General Theory to the long period (see Robinson [1952a and 1956: vi]). From the 1920s on, Sraffa was developing his own revolutionary new path in economic theory, criticising the conceptual and logical bases of the supply and demand theories in all their forms while simulta- neously rehabilitating classical and Marxian political economy. His findings were not fully in the public domain until the publication of Production of Commodities in 1960. Hints were in the Introduction in 1951 to the Sraffa with Dobb edition of The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo. The Introduction brought a great flash of illumination 1 This Introduction arises from our volume Joan Robinson (2009) which we wrote for Tony Thirlwall’s series ‘Great Thinkers in Economics’, published by Palgrave Macmillan. All references containing only page numbers refer to Joan Robinson (1956) or, when indicated, later editions thereof. vii viii Introduction to Robinson about the nature and role of profits in advanced capitalist economies. When reprinting her ‘Essays 1953’ in her Collected Economic Papers, vol IV, 1973, she wrote: These essays were written in a hilarious mood after reading Piero Sraffa’s Introduction …, which caused me to see that the concept of the rate of profit on capital is essentially the same in Ricardo, Marx, Marshall and Keynes; … the essential difference between them … and Walras, Pigou and the latter-day textbook writers is that the Ricardians are describing an historical process of accumulation in a changing world while the Walrasians dwell in a timeless equi- librium where there is no distinction between the future and the past. (247) There was also considerable attention given to methodological issues, stimulated by Harrod’s desire to replace static by dynamic analysis, a natural complement to the revived interest in distribution and growth over time, reinterpreted in the light of Keynes’s and, in Robinson’s case, Kalecki’s new theories. For Harrod this new, exciting way of doing economics made ‘the old static formulation of problems [seem] stale, flat and unprofitable’ (Harrod 1939: 15). These concerns, the original prov- ince of classical political economy and Marx, were suppressed by the rise of neoclassical economics with its concentration on price formation and resource allocation in mostly competitive, static settings. Robinson was typically forthright about this. In the Preface to her 1956 volume, she writes: Economic analysis, serving for two centuries to win an understanding of the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, has been fobbed off with another bride — a Theory of Value … deep seated political reasons for the substitution … also a purely technical reason … exces- sively difficult to conduct an analysis of over-all movements of an economy through time, involving changes in population, capital accumulation and technical change, at the same time as an anal- ysis of the detailed relations between output and price of particular commodities … Economists for the last hundred years have sacrificed dynamic theory in order to discuss relative prices … unfortunate [because] such a drastic departure from reality [makes verification of results impossible and rules out] discussion of most of the prob- lems that are actually interesting [, condemning] economics to … arid formalism. (1956: v) Introduction ix This led her to reappraise what equilibrium meant in the short period and the long period in a macroeconomic setting. She coupled this with her increasing dissatisfaction with both neoclassical concepts and methods, as she saw them, especially in the theory of distribu- tion and its accompanying relevance for a discussion of the choice of technique in the economy as a whole in analysing the process of growth. The outcome was both a sustained attack on neoclassical and neo-neoclassical procedures and results and the development of distri- bution and growth theory in a classical Marxian-Kaleckian-Keynesian setting. With this background it is not surprising that The Accumulation of Capital was published when its author was the same age as Keynes when he published The General Theory. Just as she wrote Introduction to the Theory of Employment (1937), her ‘told-to-the-children’ book (Keynes 1973: 148), to help to explain his new theory, she wrote her Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth (1962a) to explain The Accumulation of Capital to those who were mystified, or irritated, or both by the 1956 volume. The 1962 volume was a great help in extracting messages that were over- laid or not brought out clearly in her ‘big book’. The above themes may be found in articles and chapters in books preceding the publication of The Accumulation of Capital. In The Rate of Interest and Other Essays (1952a) we are told that the theme of these essays is the analysis of a dynamic economic system [ — dynamic analysis in the sense] that it cannot explain how an economy behaves in given conditions, without reference to past history; … static analysis purports to describe a position of equilib- rium which the system will reach … if the given conditions remain unchanged for long enough no matter where it started from. (Ibid.: v) She adds: Short-period analysis is concerned with the equilibrium of a system with a given stock of capital and … given expectations about the future. Past history is thus put into the initial conditions, so the anal- ysis is static in itself … yet part of a dynamic theory. [Thus] Keynes’ General Theory, [though] strictly static in form, … opened the way for a great outburst of analysis of dynamic problems. The collection was preceded by her long introduction to the English translation of Luxemburg’s The Accumulation of Capital in 1951. x Introduction Following it were her 1953 essays On Re-reading Marx, which contain her Cambridge economist visit to Oxford essay, in which some of her methodological critiques about time and space in economic analysis are presented in a stark and compelling manner, and her 1953–1954 Review of Economic Studies paper, which brought the Cambridge–Cambridge debates in capital theory into the public domain. There are in addition an Economic Journal article, ‘The Model of an Expanding Economy’ (1952b), and her Delhi School of Economics lecture on ‘Marx, Marshall and Keynes’, reprinted in Collected Economic Papers, volume II (1960), the Preface of which is dated December 1959. Significantly the author writes that the essays belong ‘to the field of what is sometimes called post-Keynesian economics’ (Robinson 1960: v). To these we add her difficult but profound essays ‘The Philosophy of Prices’, ‘Notes on the Theory of Economic Development’ and ‘Population and Development’.

CHAPTER G An Analysis of the Graded Property Tax Robert M. Schwab and Amy Rehder Harris Introduction In most jurisdictions, land and improvements are taxed at the same rate. The District of Columbia is no exception to this general rule. Consider two homes in the District, each valued at $100,000. Home A is a modest home on a large lot; suppose the land and structures are each worth $50,000. Home B is a more sub- stantial home on a smaller lot; in this case, suppose the land is valued at $20,000 and the improvements at $80,000. Under current District law, both homes would be taxed at a rate of 0.96 percent on the total value and thus, as Figure 1 shows, the owners of both homes would face property taxes of $960.1 But property can be taxed in many ways. Under a graded, or split-rate, tax, land is taxed more heavily than structures.

Seen primarily in terms of prisons, museums, and the newly gendered private home, this “grid of intelligibility” polices the boundaries not only of physical interaction but also of cultural values and modes of knowing. As my project argues, however, architecture in fact offered nineteenth-century theorists unique opportunities to broaden radically the parameters of aesthetic agency. A building is generally not built by a single person; it is almost always a corporate effort. At the same time, a building will often exist for long enough that it will decay or be repurposed. Long before literature asked “what is an author?” Victorian architecture theory asked: “who can be said to have made this?” Figures like John Ruskin, Owen Jones, and James Fergusson radicalize this question into what I call a redistribution of intention, an ethically charged recognition of the value of other makers.

  • THE WHITE COMPANY by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    THE WHITE COMPANY By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle CHAPTER I. HOW THE BLACK SHEEP CAME FORTH FROM THE FOLD. The great bell of Beaulieu was ringing. Far away through the forest might be heard its musical clangor and swell. Peat-cutters on Blackdown and fishers upon the Exe heard the distant throbbing rising and falling upon the sultry summer air. It was a common sound in those parts—as common as the chatter of the jays and the booming of the bittern. Yet the fishers and the peasants raised their heads and looked questions at each other, for the angelus had already gone and vespers was still far off. Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows were neither short nor long? All round the Abbey the monks were trooping in. Under the long green- paved avenues of gnarled oaks and of lichened beeches the white-robed brothers gathered to the sound. From the vine-yard and the vine-press, from the bouvary or ox-farm, from the marl-pits and salterns, even from the distant iron-works of Sowley and the outlying grange of St. Leonard's, they had all turned their steps homewards. It had been no sudden call. A swift messenger had the night before sped round to the outlying dependencies of the Abbey, and had left the summons for every monk to be back in the cloisters by the third hour after noontide. So urgent a message had not been issued within the memory of old lay- brother Athanasius, who had cleaned the Abbey knocker since the year after the Battle of Bannockburn.

    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 14 July 2017 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01179 Music of the 7Ts: Predicting and Decoding Multivoxel fMRI Responses with Acoustic, Schematic, and Categorical Music Features Michael A. Casey* Bregman Music and Audio Lab, Computer Science and Music Departments, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, United States Underlying the experience of listening to music are parallel streams of auditory, categorical, and schematic qualia, whose representations and cortical organization remain largely unresolved. We collected high-field (7T) fMRI data in a music listening task, and analyzed the data using multivariate decoding and stimulus-encoding models. Twenty subjects participated in the experiment, which measured BOLD responses evoked by naturalistic listening to twenty-five music clips from five genres. Our first analysis applied machine classification to the multivoxel patterns that were evoked in temporal cortex. Results yielded above-chance levels for both stimulus identification and genre classification–cross-validated by holding out data from multiple of the stimuli during model training and then testing decoding performance on the held-out data.

THE QUEST FOR CLEAR LAND TITLES- MAKING LAND TITLE SEARCHES SHORTER AND SURER IN NORTH CAROLINA VIA MARKETABLE TITLE LEGISLATION* By JAmES A. WEBSTER, JR.t There are voices crying in the wilderness of real property law that there is a "crisis in conveyancing."1 In a jet age that utilizes "hot lines" in the hope of averting a nuclear "hot war," perhaps the word "crisis" as related to land transactions is a bit overdramatic. But one need only to broach the subject of land-title searches to discover that non-ivory tower lawyers of current vintage are disillusioned with the adequacy of currently existing procedures for searching and certifying land titles. In the quietude of their offices, while they are resting in easy chairs away from the heavy, often dusty, giant grantor-grantee indexes and the other bundlesome volumes necessary to be lifted and opened in doing a thorough and painstaking title search, law- yers will admit that problems so often written about by law pro- fessors concerning real property are not merely hobgoblins of their own imaginations but are real.2 Title lawyers will admit that they * This article is the second of a projected series of articles on the im- provement of land law.

This issue of the Journal is much more than a tribute to the man whose name appears on the title page: it is also an act of thanksgiving to God that, in F. F. Bruce as in others of His servants, He has shown by His giving that He still cares for and cherishes His Church (and not least, that He has purposes still for the development of that section of the Church with which this Fellowship is particularly concerned). This month's issue of Crusade magazine contains an interesting interview with Jack Dash, that doughty communist militant and one-time disrupter of the peace of Lon­ don's dockland. Dash's challenge to the Christian Church is pertinent and poignant: 'Produce me God'. For how can God be produced, but in the men and women to whom He has delivered His charge for this planet? Herein lies the failure of ourselves, God's people in the world: but, con­ versely, when a man appears whom God has plainly gifted for the Church or the world, then as plainly, to those with eyes to see, God 'produces' Himself, and we know that He is with us still.
