REVOLUTION OR RENAISSANCE MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM AN ECONOMIC AGE TO A CULTURAL AGE D. Paul Schafer Governance Series overnance is the process of effective coordination whereby an organization Gor a system guides itself when resources, power, and information are widely distributed. Studying governance means probing the pattern of rights and obligations that underpins organizations and social systems; understanding how they coordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence; exploring the sources of dysfunction; and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair. The Series welcomes a range of contributions - from conceptual and theoretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of conferences and symposia, to works of a very practical nature - that deal with problems or issues on the governance front. The Series publishes works both in French and in English. The Governance Series is part of the publications division of the Centre on Governance and of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. This volume is the 16th volume published within this Series. The Centre on Governance and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs also publish a quarterly electronic journal www.optimumonline.ca Editorial Committee Caroline Andrew Linda Cardinal Monica Gattinger Luc Juillet Daniel Lane Gilles Paquet (Director) The published titles in the Series are listed at the end of this book. Preface his is a book about economics and culture: two of the most powerful forces Tat work shaping our world. The first of these forces - economics - gave rise to the economic age we are living in at present. It is an age that has made economics, economies, and economic growth in general, and the production and consumption of material and monetary wealth, consumerism, materialism, and the marketplace in particular, the centrepiece of society and the world system. It has done so because this is deemed to be the most effective way of dealing with people's needs and wants in all areas of life. While the economic age has produced many benefits, particularly for people and countries in the West, it is not capable of coming to grips with the fundamental problems confronting humanity. This is because it is based on theoretical, practical, and historical foundations that are incompatible with solving these problems. This is especially true with respect to the environmental crisis, climate change, the gap between rich and poor nations and rich and poor people, and, most notably, the escalating pressure of human numbers on the finite carrying capacity of the planet. Hence the need to create an age that is capable of confronting these problems, and others that have loomed up on the global horizon in recent years. Of all the possible forces upon which such an age could be founded, culture provides the most promising possibilities. This is largely because culture possesses a number of properties that are of crucial importance to the world of the future. Most prominent among these properties is the capacity for holism, sharing, cooperation, conservation, creativity, and the ability to provide a bridge between human beings and the natural environment. Clearly we have only begun to realize the rich potential culture possesses to create the conditions for a better world. PREfACe 1 It is to a cultural age, then, that attention is directed in the second part of the book. How would a cultural age function? What foundations would underlie it? What priorities would drive it? How would it flourish most effectively? These are the tough and demanding questions that must be asked - and answered - in order to make the cultural age a reality. In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to delve deeply into the domain of culture, both as a concept and as a reality. What emerges is a portrait of the world system of the future where culture and cultures are developed in breath and depth, situated effectively in the natural, historical, and global environment, and the necessary safeguards are established to ensure that culture and cultures are used for constructive rather than destructive purposes. This is imperative if global harmony, environmental sustainability, economic viability, and human well-being are to be achieved in the future. While this is not specifically a book about governance or public policy, it is very much concerned with these matters in the final analysis. For it is concerned with the need to reduce the demands human beings are making on the natural environment, as well as to make it possible for people in all countries of the world to enjoy reasonable standards of material living and opportunities for a great deal of creative and spiritual fulfilment. And it is concerned with doing this without straining the globe's finite resources and fragile ecosystem to the breaking point.

  • Marx and Mendacity: Can There Be a Politics Without Hypocrisy?
    Analyse & Kritik 01+02/2015 (© Lucius & Lucius, Stuttgart) S. 521 Martin Jay Marx and Mendacity: Can There Be a Politics without Hypocrisy? Abstract: As demonstrated by Marx's erce defence of his integrity when anonymously accused of lying in l872, he was a principled believer in both personal honesty and the value of truth in politics. Whether understood as enabling an accurate, `scientic' depiction of the contradictions of the present society or a normative image of a truly just society to come, truth-telling was privileged by Marx over hypocrisy as a political virtue. Contemporary Marxists like Alain Badiou continue this tradition, arguing that revolutionary politics should be understood as a `truth procedure'. Drawing on the alternative position of political theorists such as Hannah Arendt, who distrusted the monologic and absolutist implications of a strong notion of truth in politics, this paper defends the role that hypocrisy and mendacity, understood in terms of lots of little lies rather than one big one, can play in a pluralist politics, in which, pace Marx, rhetoric, opinion and the clash of values resist being subsumed under a singular notion of the truth. 1. Introduction In l872, an anonymous attack was launched in the Berlin Concordia: Zeitschrift für die Arbeiterfrage against Karl Marx for having allegedly falsied a quotation from an 1863 parliamentary speech by the British Liberal politician, and future Prime Minister, William Gladstone in his own Inaugural Address to the First International in l864. The polemic was written, so it was later disclosed, by the eminent liberal political economist Lujo Brentano.1 Marx vigorously defended himself in a response published later that year in Der Volksstaat, launching a bitter debate that would drag on for two decades, involving Marx's daughter Eleanor, an obscure Cambridge don named Sedly Taylor, and even Gladstone himself, who backed Brentano's version.

  • The Interjurisdictional Migration of European Authors of Liberty, 1660 – 1961: a Quantitative Analysis1
    1 January 12, 2016 THE INTERJURISDICTIONAL MIGRATION OF EUROPEAN AUTHORS OF LIBERTY, 1660 – 1961: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS1 Niklas Potrafke2 Roland Vaubel3 Abstract Hume, Montesquieu and Kant were the first to suggest that the rise of liberty in Europe and the West has been due to political fragmentation and competition among rulers because the creative elites had the option of leaving the country in response to political repression. In this paper we estimate the extent to which emigrating authors of liberty actually reacted to such political and economic factors. We distinguish four types of repressive political events: restoration of an authoritarian monarchy, suppression of liberal protests, takeover by a totalitarian regime and occupation by a foreign repressive power. We test for additional explanations of emigration. Our sample of well-known authors of liberty includes 401 persons from twenty European countries in 1660 to 1961. Our logistic regressions yield the following main results. The repressive events did have significant and large effects on emigration with lags of up to five years. Emigration was also influenced by the author’s occupation and interjurisdictional income differentials. The probability of emigration was larger if the author was of middle age and lived in a small country but these effects were numerically small. The decision to emigrate was not affected by the author’s education.

Meisenzahl, Joel Mokyr Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c12364 Chapter pages in book: (p. 443 - 479) 9 The Rate and Direction of Invention in the British Industrial Revolution Incentives and Institutions Ralf R. Meisenzahl and Joel Mokyr 9.1 Introduction The Industrial Revolution was the fi rst period in which technological progress and innovation became major factors in economic growth. There is by now general agreement that during the seventy years or so traditionally associated with the Industrial Revolution, there was little economic growth as traditionally measured in Britain, but that in large part this was to be expected.1 The sectors in which technological progress occurred grew at a rapid rate, but they were small in 1760, and thus their effect on growth was limited at fi rst (Mokyr 1998, 12– 14). Yet progress took place in a wide range of industries and activities, not just in cotton and steam. A full description of the range of activities in which innovation took place or was at least attempted cannot be provided here, but inventions in some pivotal industries such as iron and mechanical engineering had backward linkages in many more traditional industries.

  • Early Notes in Folders
    Marshall Library of Economics Marshall Papers Section 4 Early notes in folders Identity code Marshall 4 Description level 3 Content Notes in hard covers Summary This section comprises Marshall's early notes. Although largely undated, most can be attributed to before 1890. With the exception of the earliest general notebook and a section of notes on [Johann Heinrich] Von Thunen all are enclosed within hard cover folders. There is no evidence of how Marshall originally ordered these, but he clearly re-used them and there is evidence that some of the original series is missing. The old Marshall Library box numbers showed no logical ordering, thus as no date order can be established they have been rearranged in alphabetical order using Marshall's titles. The untitled general notebook and loose notes on Von Thunen are placed at the beginning of the series. One untitled folder has been put under Economic History. Identity code Marshall 4/1 Previous number Marshall LBB 5 Description level 4 Record creation Person Role Writer Name Marshall, Alfred Date c1867-1869 Document form Record type Notes Specific type Academic notes Acquisition Summary Loose note dated 24.5.1938 with this item states Mary Marshall lent it to Mr [Claude] Guillebaud.

INTRODUCTION: LIBERALISM AS AN EXHAUSTED POLITICAL CONCEPT AFTER 1945 Speaking at a conference of German liberals in December 1948, which led to the foundation of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in West Germany, Theodor Heuss, later the president of the Federal Republic, asked his audience whether the label "liberal" could still be used to identify a political party that regarded itself as part of the tradi- tion of political liberalism.
