Professor Sven Beckert Eli Cook Professor Liz Cohen The Pricing of Progress: Economic Indicators and the Capitalization of American Life Abstract A history of statistical economic indicators in America, this dissertation uncovers the protracted struggle which took place in the nineteenth century over how economic life should be quantified, how social progress should be valued and how American prosperity should be measured. By revealing the historical origins of contemporary indicators such as Gross Domestic Product, and by uncovering the alternative measures that ended up on the losing side of history, this work denaturalizes the seemingly objective nature of modern economic indicators while offering a fresh take on the rise of American capitalism. Tracing the contested nature of statistical indicators since the time when Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton first debated how prosperity should be measured, this dissertation details how quantification techniques developed by profit-minded businessmen eventually came to be used not only to manage a railroad corporation, administer a slave plantation or run a textile factory but also to organize, discipline, manage and make sense of American society as a whole. The micro-managing of wage workers led to macroeconomic indicators, slave plantation accounts led to national productivity statistics, corporate cost-accounting led to cost-of-living indices and the bottom line became the American government’s top priority. While these capitalist statistics were being institutionalized as the benchmarks of American progress, previously popular measures which gauged such social issues as propertied independence, iii exploitation, poverty, inequality, gender discrimination, social mobility, insanity, education, incarceration and even prostitution mostly fell by the wayside by 1900. The ramifications of this historical development were enormous as these priced measures of productivity, consumerism, and market growth helped to transform the maximization of capitalist production and consumption into the main objective of American society, all the while turning monetary prices into the standard unit for measuring not only our goods but our planet, our society, our future and ourselves. Distinct from mere commodification, this dissertation refers to this process as the “capitalization” of everyday life because these figures treated American society like one big capitalized investment and its human citizens as human capital. iv Table of Contents List of Figures ........................................................................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................................................................. vii Introduction ............................................................................................................................................................................... 1 Seeing like a Capitalist: The Hamiltonian Origins of How Capitalists Count ................................................ 34 Seeing Like a Yeoman: Patriarchal Commercialism in the Early Republic ................................................... 70 Lots of Growth: Hunt’s Merchants’ Magazine’s Frontier of Human Capital ................................................ 103 An Asylum in Numbers: The Rise of Moral Statistics in Jacksonian America ............................................ 144 Tale of Two Capitalisms: The Rise of Growth Statistics in Antebellum America ..................................... 196 Capitalization and its Discontents: Labor Statistics in Gilded Age America .............................................. 250 Epilogue .................................................................................................................................................................................. 304 Bibliography ......................................................................................................................................................................... 318 v List of Figures Figure 1: Samuel Blodget’s Financial Money Meter 61 Figure 2: Samuel Blodget's pricing of the American people 63 Figure 3: An engraved portrait of John Adams 93 Figure 4: 1790 census page 96 Figure 5: Jessup Scott’s growth chart 128 Figure 6: Percentage of growth by city population 141 Figure 7: Percentage of dividend given by Boston banks. 141 Figure 8: Pauper Statistics 154 Figure 9: Benjamin Rush's Moral and Physical Thermometer 159 Figure 10: Church temperance statistics 160 Figure 11: Shattuck's Wealth Pyramid 179 Figure 12: Canal Toll Statistics 238 Figure 13: Calculating the Railroad Business 244 Figure 14: Aldrich Report 251 Figure 15: The alternative statistics of the Massachusetts Bureau 259 Figure 16: Atkinson's cost of living statistics 287 Figure 17: Massachusetts Bureau's dietary schedule 288 Figure 18: The Aladdin Oven. 292 Figure 19: Incarceration rates of OECD countries 308 vi Acknowledgements Stepping out of one of my first introductory economics classes at Tel Aviv University, my head whirring with differential math equations with which I had been instructed to maximize profits, I entered into an American history class taught by Michael Zakim and discovered my calling. Instead of being given answers, as in the economics class, I was confronted with an awe-inspiring set of questions not only about the rise of capitalism in America, but the very nature of the human experience in modern times. For opening this world to me, Michael, I thank you. For being a wonderful mentor, friend, and supporter ever since, I thank you again. Visiting Harvard a few years later, Professor Sven Beckert immediately took a disheveled Israeli with a penchant for rants under his wing, just as his Program on the Study of Capitalism was taking off. He has lent an enthusiastic helping hand ever since, teaching me the tiniest intricacies of American history while pushing me to ask the biggest questions. Providing endless wisdom (and her office!) not only as my advisor but lately as my dean as well, Professor Liz Cohen has been equally supportive, constantly encouraging and challenging me to refine, rewrite and rethink the basic contours of this project. Big thanks are also in order to Professor Chris Desan, who not only taught me how central banks work but also was willing to slog through a summer of neoclassical economics. Professor Morton Horwitz served as the elder statesmen of this project, and his intellectual fingerprints can be found in many of the following pages. There are so many debts to so many others. I don’t know where I would be without Noam Maggor, who showed me the ropes, made me feel at home, and devoted hours upon hours to talking about so many of the ideas that went into this work. Brian Hochman, David Kim, Nick Donofrio, Brian McCammack, Pete L’Official, Jack Hamilton, Tim McGrath, vii George Blaustein and Derek Etkin let an undrafted, foreign walk-on join not only the American Civilization Basketball League but their amazing group of friends. Joshua Specht, Andrew Pope, Eitan Kensky, Charles Petersen, Summer Shafer, Marisa Egerstrom and Jeremy Zallen are awesome. It was always a pleasure to talk slavery or bullpens with Katherine Stephens during some quality tent time. Whether a question about cost- accounting or the job market, Caitlin Rosenthal was always there for me when I needed her, and that was early and often. Nadav Orian Peer’s never-ending thirst for knowledge was contagiously magnificent. Everyone should have an old army buddy like Adam Shinar. If this dissertation has any real, empirical grounding in nitty-gritty political economy, it’s because I had the pleasure of making Rudi Batzell’s acquaintance. Thanks to Rudi, Shaun Nichols, Liat Spiro, Jed Schwartz and many others, I always looked forward to yet another boisterous debate at the capitalism reading group as I was cleaning up baby vomit. From an early age, my parents inspired me to be an intellectual. Dad, it is far from a coincidence that I followed in your footsteps. Be it 2AM sessions on the porch about gender history or help in the archives, my mother has been a big part of this project. While this dissertation has unfortunately placed Benjy far away, he still remains close and has offered many insights that have shaped this work (could

  • Main Economic Indicators: Comparative Methodological Analysis: Wage Related Statistics
    MAIN ECONOMIC INDICATORS: COMPARATIVE METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS: WAGE RELATED STATISTICS VOLUME 2002 SUPPLEMENT 3 FOREWORD This publication provides comparisons of methodologies used by OECD Member countries to compile key short-term and annual data on wage related statistics. These statistics comprise annual and infra-annual statistics on wages and earnings, minimum wages, labour costs, labour prices, unit labour costs, and household income. Also, because of their use in the compilation of these statistics, the publication also includes an initial analysis of hours of work statistics. In its coverage of short-term indicators it is related to analytical publications previously published by the OECD for indicators published in the monthly publication, Main Economic Indicators (MEI) for: industry, retail and construction indicators; and price indices. The primary purpose of this publication is to provide users with methodological information underlying the compilation of wage related statistics. The analysis provided for these statistics is designed to ensure their appropriate use by analysts in an international context. The information will also enable national statistical institutes and other agencies responsible for compiling such statistics to compare their methodologies and data sources with those used in other countries. Finally, it will provide a range of options for countries in the process of creating their own wage related statistics, or overhauling existing indicators. The analysis in this publication focuses on issues of data comparability in the context of existing international statistical guidelines and recommendations published by the OECD and other international agencies such as the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat).

  • The Economic Writings of Sir William Petty (1623-1687): Never Translated Into Spanish Language
    518297-LLP-2011-IT-ERASMUS-FEXI THE ECONOMIC WRITINGS OF SIR WILLIAM PETTY (1623-1687): NEVER TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH LANGUAGE VICTORIA CORREA MERLASSINO DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT – UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONA BARCELONA , SPAIN [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to outline the fact that the economic writings of Sir William Petty were never translated into Spanish. Although Petty contributes meaningfully to the economic thought, his works did not arrive to Spain in our language, that means that his ideas were not widely extended in our country or they arrived under the writings and citations of other authors. Another remarkable aspect related to William Petty to point out is, that the writings of some other theorist, philosophers, scientist contemporaneous to him were indeed translated into Spanish. This is the case of Thomas Hobbes, Francis Bacon, Thomas Mun and John Locke. On the other hand, Petty’s thought was based, in few points, on the ideas of some of the; especially on T. Hobbs and F. Bacon. Last but not least, this paper will contain a summary of his most important contributions for the economic thought described in ‘A treatise of Taxes and Contributions (1662)’, ‘Verburn Sapienti (1665)’, ‘Political Arithmetick (1676)’ and ‘Treatise of Ireland (1687)’. William Petty had a long-continued writing activity. His first essays are dated in 1662 and he carried on writing until his death in 1687. He wrote before the formal treatises on political economy were long extended. His writings were far from the systematized abstraction about every-days affairs. He was a man interested in the theory as well as the experimentation.

  • PERSONAL INVENTORY IF You Were Not Satisfied with Your Choir Last Season: If the Attendance Was Not What You Had Hoped For;
    PERSONAL INVENTORY IF you were not satisfied with your choir last season: If the attendance was not what you had hoped for; and disci- pline left something to be desired; if the children's response was half-hearted:--then check your stock of the following items: I. ENTHUSIASM. Can you get excited about your work? Or is it an endurance contest? If you find it dull and depressing, you can be sure it is the same for the children. How you feel about your work is as important as how much you know about it. And how you feel about it is sure to be re- flected in the children. You have a job that is worth getting enthusiastic about. Enjoy the fine experiences it brings you, and learn to forget the little irritations. What happens in rehearsal may influence a whole life. 2. CAN YOU OVERLOOK? Benjamin Franklin once said, "There is a time to wink, and a time to see." Learn to distinguish be- tween natural ordinary wiggling, and intentional disturbance. 3.INTERESTING. Discipline, anyhow, is a sign of failure. If you could make the work interesting enough, there would be little trouble. More work and less worry: Learning music can be either exciting or dull. What it is to you, it will surely be to the children, too. 4.HUMOR. If you can't see a joke, work on yourself until you can. If something funny happens in rehearsal, enjoy the situation and let everybody else enjoy it, too. It's much better for everybody to laugh together, than for some to be laughing at others.

  • Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690-1820
    128 American Antiquarian Society. [April, BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS, 1690-1820 PART III ' MARYLAND TO MASSACHUSETTS (BOSTON) COMPILED BY CLARENCE S. BRIGHAM The following bibliography attempts, first, to present a historical sketch of every newspaper printed in the United States from 1690 to 1820; secondly, to locate all files found in the various libraries of the country; and thirdly, to give a complete check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. The historical sketch of each paper gives the title, the date of establishment, the name of the editor or publisher, the fre- quency of issue and the date of discontinuance. It also attempts to give the exact date of issue when a change in title or name of publisher or frequency of publication occurs. In locating the files to be found in various libraries, no at- tempt is made to list every issue. In the case of common news- papers which are to be found in many libraries, only the longer files are noted, with a description of their completeness. Rare newspapers, which are known by only a few scattered issues, are minutely listed. The check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society follows the style of the Library of Con- gress "Check List of Eighteenth Century Newspapers," and records all supplements, missing issues and mutilations. The arrangement is alphabetical by states and towns. Towns are placed according to their present State location. For convenience of alphabetization, the initial "The" in the titles of papers is disregarded. Papers are considered to be of folio size, unless otherwise stated.

Block A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Pheng Cheah, Co-Chair Professor Andrew Shanken, Co-Chair Professor David Henkin Associate Professor Winnie Wong Fall 2019 Copyright Page Abstract The Ware Course: Architecture as a Useful, Liberal, and Fine Art by Kevin P. Block Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Pheng Cheah, Co-Chair Professor Andrew Shanken, Co-Chair This dissertation examines the academic career of William Robert Ware (1832-1915), an American architect who became the leading architectural educator in the late nineteenth century. Previous accounts of Ware have focused either on his work as a practicing architect or his role as a department builder at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University, where he imported the Beaux-Arts system of design instruction to the United States. This dissertation, in contrast, interprets archival documents and nineteenth-century architectural theory to situate Ware in relation to a number of core questions and concepts in the broader history of architectural expertise, including the construction of professional authority, the meaning of culture, the use of judgment, and the tension between creative expression and information processing.

  • The Neglect of the French Liberal School in Anglo-American Economics: a Critique of Received Explanations
    The Neglect of the French Liberal School in Anglo-American Economics: A Critique of Received Explanations Joseph T. Salerno or roughly the first three quarters of the nineteenth century, the "liberal school" thoroughly dominated economic thinking and teaching in F France.1 Adherents of the school were also to be found in the United States and Italy, and liberal doctrines exercised a profound influence on prominent German and British economists. Although its numbers and au- thority began to dwindle after the 1870s, the school remained active and influential in France well into the 1920s. Even after World War II, there were a few noteworthy French economists who could be considered intellectual descendants of the liberal tradition. Despite its great longevity and wide-ranging influence, the scientific con- tributions of the liberal school and their impact on the development of Eu- ropean and U.S. economic thought—particularly on those economists who are today recognized as the forerunners, founders, and early exponents of marginalist economics—have been belittled or simply ignored by most twen- tieth-century Anglo-American economists and historians of thought. A number of doctrinal scholars, including Joseph Schumpeter, have noted and attempted to explain the curious neglect of the school in the En- glish-language literature. In citing the school's "analytical sterility" or "indif- ference to pure theory" as a main cause of its neglect, however, their expla- nations have overlooked a salient fact: that many prominent contributors to economic analysis throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries expressed strong appreciation of or weighty intellectual debts to the purely theoretical contributions of the liberal school.
