  • The End of Economics, Or, Is
    THE END OF ECONOMICS, OR, IS UTILITARIANISM FINISHED? By John D. Mueller James Madison Program Fellow Fellow of The Lehrman Institute President, LBMC LLC Princeton University, 127 Corwin Hall, 15 April 2002 Summary. According to Lionel Robbins’ classic definition, “Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means that have alternate uses.” Yet most modern economists assume that economic choice involves only the means and not to the ends of human action. The reason seems to be that most modern economists are ignorant of the history of their own discipline before Adam Smith or Jeremy Bentham. Leading economists like Gary Becker attempt to explain all human behavior, including love and hate, as a maximization of “utility.” But historically and logically, an adequate description of economic choice has always required both a ranking of persons as ends and a ranking of scarce goods as means. What is missing from modern economics is an adequate description of the ranking of persons as ends. This is reflected in the absence of a satisfactory microeconomic explanation (for example, within the household) as to how goods are distributed to their final users, and in an overemphasis at the political level on an “individualistic social welfare function,” by which policymakers are purported to add up the preferences of a society of selfish individuals and determine all distribution from the government downwards, as if the nation or the world were one large household. As this “hole” in economic theory is recognized, an army of “neo-scholastic” economists will find full employment for the first few decades of the 21st Century, busily rewriting the Utilitarian “economic approach to human behavior” that dominated the last three decades of the 20th Century.

  • HUNTER COLLEGE Naming of “The Peggy” Dance Studio
    I-B-4 HUNTER COLLEGE Naming of “The Peggy” Dance Studio RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York approve the naming of the dance studio on the 6th floor of Thomas Hunter Hall at Hunter College “The Peggy” in tribute to Peggy Tirschwell, for her exceptionally distinguished service to Hunter College and CUNY. EXPLANATION: Richard Gilder has pledged $500,000 for expenses relating to the renovation of a dance studio on the 6th floor of Thomas Hunter Hall at Hunter College. The renovated dance studio would be known thereafter as “The Peggy” after his sister Peggy Tirschwell, who has been an exceptionally valued and beloved member of the Provost’s Office at Hunter College since September 2002, specializing in curriculum development, support and accreditation. In April 2016, Ms. Tirschwell will celebrate 51 years with The City University of New York. Mr. Gilder founded his own firm, now known as Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co. LLC. In 1994, with long-time friend, Lewis E. Lehrman, he created the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, a leading non-profit provider of K-12 educational programs and materials in American history. They also co-founded The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition at Yale, and are co-founders and sponsors of the Lincoln Prize, the Frederick Douglass Book Award and the George Washington Book Prize. Mr. Gilder is a founding and continuing trustee of the Central Park Conservancy, a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History and New-York Historical Society, and an honorary trustee of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

  • Programs & Exhibitions
    PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Winter/Spring 2020 To purchase tickets by phone call (212) 485-9268 letter | exhibitions | calendar | programs | family | membership | general information Dear Friends, Until recently, American democracy wasn’t up for debate—it was simply fundamental to our way of life. But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.

    7 Pro-Business Policies as Ideology . when I was a young man, only the very old men still believed in the free-market system. When I was in my middle ages I myself and nobody else believed in it. And now I have the pleasure of having lived long enough to see that the young people again believe in it. And that is a very important change. FRIEDRICH VON HAYEK, 19781 Ideologies perform essential political functions of informing the public, mobilising supporters and energising leaders and other activists . An effective ideology will mobilise political supporters to share the general beliefs and goals of a party, interest group or politician. PETER SELF2 In 1947, a group of 37 like-minded people from the US, Britain and Europe – economists, historians and journalists – met in a fashionable resort at Mont Pèlerin in Switzerland. They had been invited there by Friedrich von Hayek, an Austrian-born economic theoretician who worked at the London School of Economics. Hayek’s 1944 book The Road to Serfdom, was said to be ‘the first intellectually respectable defense of free-market doctrine to have appeared in decades’. The book, which argued that government planning leads to dictatorship and that free markets should reign, was republished in condensed form by Reader’s Digest. The Book-of-the-Month Club distributed over a million copies. In it Hayek looked back to the glories of free market England in the 19th century, ignoring the mass poverty and atrocious working conditions of the ‘dark satanic mills’. Nor did he recognize the role of colonies, tariffs, export bounties and government legislation in maintaining this laissez-faire idyll.3 Joining Hayek at Mont Pèlerin was Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian libertarian economist and mentor to Hayek, whose writings at this time were being promoted and disseminated by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE – see Chapter 4); Leonard Reed who had founded the FEE in the previous year; and Henry Hazlitt, FEE vice-president.

  • Craig's Fundraising Letter.Pdf
    July 2011 Dear Friends and Family, I have an amazing opportunity in a few weeks and I want to invite you to be a part of it and give you an opportunity to support the project financially. I have been invited to travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa to help an historic housing project and village become more self-sufficient. My responsibility will be to coordinate the set up of the sawmill operation portion of the project. Many of you know I have been living and volunteering at Koinonia Farm for the last three years as well as assisting the Fuller Center for Housing with some of their projects. We have a similar sawmill that I have made operational and is now milling lumber for the Farm and customers. My experience developing, maintaining and training people to use the sawmill at Koinonia Farm will be important in making the mill in Bolomba, DRC operational. There are many expenses required to pull this off including, air transportation to Congo and within Congo, food and water for the 7 days, some tools and other supplies. Any size contribution to this project and my participation will be very much appreciated. All contributions are tax deductible through the Fuller Center, a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. To make a donation see the link below or mail to Fuller Center at 701 S Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Americus GA 31719; with Craig’s Congo Mission Trip in the memo line. Thank you for your support and for your prayers for this historic journey.

    “ … measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, [Lincoln] was swift, zealous, radical, and determined.” — FREDERICK DOUGLASS, APRIL 14, 1876 LINCOLN AT PEORIA The Turning Point by Lewis E. Lehrman Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point explains how Lincoln’s speech at Peoria on October 16, 1854 was the turning point in the development of his antislavery campaign and his political career and thought. Here, Lincoln detailed his opposition to slavery’s extension and his determination to defend America’s Founding document from those who denied that the Declaration of Independence applied to black Americans. Students of Abraham Lincoln know the canon of his major speeches — from his Lyceum Speech of 1838 to his “Final Remarks” delivered from a White House window, days before he was murdered in 1865. Less well-known are the two extraordinary speeches given at Springfield and Peoria two weeks apart in 1854. They marked Mr. Lincoln’s reentry into Book Information the politics of Illinois and, as he could not know, his preparation for the U.S. History Hardcover Presidency in 1861. These Lincoln addresses catapulted him into the July 2008 debates over slavery which dominated Illinois and national politics for the $29.95 rest of the decade. Lincoln delivered the substance of these arguments 978-0-8117-0361-1 Published by Stackpole Books several times — certainly in Springfield on October 4, 1854, for which there www.LincolnAtPeoria.com are only press reports. A longer version came twelve days later in Peoria. To understand President Abraham Lincoln, one must understand the Peoria Press Contact speech of October 16, 1854.
