Land, Labor, and Production The Colonial Economy of Spanish and Mexican California Steven W. Hackel As the sesquicentennial of California's admission to the Union approaches, California can boast of one of the most productive economies the world has ever seen: the Golden State annually produces more goods and services than all but a handful of the world's nations. But during the Spanish colonial period (1769-1821) and the Mexican national period (1822-1846), contemporaries lamented the lack of economic growth in Alta California. In 1796, the Franciscan missionary Jose Senan dismissed the region's settlers as lazy and unproductive, claiming that they preferred playing cards to plowing fields. Senan attributed most of their idleness to Spanish policies: the inflated cost of goods imported from central Mexico and the low market price of the settlers' agricultural products deprived settlers of incentive to produce beyond a basic subsistence level.[l] During the Mexican period, when the new government relaxed restrictions on free trade, foreign trade and domestic production increased, yet to Mexicans and Californios alike, California remained a land of untapped economic potential. Assertions that Spain and Mexico had failed to develop California's economic riches increased after the Gold Rush and subsequently became enshrined in historical interpretations of California.

The Otis Report has become a powerful advocacy tool and catalyst for change by clearly articulating the economic benefits of the creative industries and quantifying their financial impact in the economy. Otis College of Art and Design has commissioned the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) to generate the Annual Report on the Creative Economy of the Los Angeles Region (Otis Report) since 2007. Now in its third year, the Otis Report on the Creative Economy of California features an expansion highlighting local creative industries via eight regional snapshots, developed with support from the California Arts Council. The regions include: Bay Area, Capital Region, Central Coast, Inland Empire, Central Valley, San Diego- Imperial Valley, Los Angeles-Orange County, and Upstate California. “The statewide Otis Report has been a game-changer for California’s arts field over the past three years,” said Craig Watson, Director of the California Arts Council.

The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

  • Marriage, Violence, and the Nation in the American Literary West
    This page intentionally left blank MARRIAGE, VIOLENCE, AND THE NATION IN THE AMERICAN LITERARY WEST In Marriage, Violence, and the Nation in the American Literary West, William R. Handley examines literary interpretations of the western American past. Handley argues that although recent scholarship provides a narrative of western history that counters the optimistic story of frontier individualism by focusing on the victims of con- quest, twentieth-century American fiction tells a different story of intra-ethnic violence, surrounding marriages and families. He ex- amines works of historiography, as well as writing by Zane Grey, Willa Cather, Wallace Stegner, and Joan Didion among others, to argue that these works highlight white Americans’ anxiety about what happens to American “character” when domestic enemies such as Indians and Mormon polygamists, against whom the nation had defined itself in the nineteenth century, no longer threaten its homes. Handley explains that once its enemies are gone, imperia- lism brings violence home in retrospective narratives that allegorize national pasts and futures through intimate relationships. . is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Southern California.

  • Impact of Calstrs' Investments on California's Economy
    TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT BOARD REGULAR MEETING Item Number: 9 SUBJECT: Economic Impact of CalSTRS Investments CONSENT: ATTACHMENT(S): 1 ACTION: DATE OF MEETING: November 6, 2014 / 45 mins. INFORMATION: X PRESENTER: Ed Derman ______________________________________________________________________________ PURPOSE The purpose of this item is to introduce the 2014 study of the economic impact of CalSTRS investments in California. BACKGROUND At the September 2013 meeting, the results of a study of the economic impact of benefits paid by CalSTRS were presented to the board. The study being presented at this meeting uses a sectoral- share approach to estimate jobs supported in California by the companies in the CalSTRS investment portfolio. Data from the four main asset classes were evaluated. These asset classes account for about 96 percent of the total portfolio and include: global equities (57 percent of the portfolio), fixed income (16 percent), real estate (12 percent) and private equity (11 percent). There is no universally accepted methodology for a study of this type because the impact of financial markets on the “real economy” (employment, real wages, interest rates and so on) is often debated by economists. While the impact of an investment in a start-up company can be quantified more directly, the impact of secondary investments in non-IPO shares of stocks or bonds is more diffused and complex. Nonetheless, CalSTRS’ investments in these markets provide critical financing for ongoing operations of these companies. KEY FINDINGS This item highlights the key finding of the study as the full report from Dr. Ashok Bardhan is attached. For calendar year 2013, CalSTRS’ investments in California in public equities, fixed income, private equity and real estate totaled $19.38 billion—15.2 percent—of CalSTRS’ $127.4 billion invested in the U.S.
