    DOI: 10.5152/eurjrheum.2016.15101 Original Investigation Max Hirsch (1875–1941): His forgotten fate and his contributions to the founding of modern rheumatology Wolfgang Keitel1, Leif Olsson2, Eric L. Matteson3 Abstract Objective: To elucidate the connections between balneology and rheumatology in the founding period of the discipline of rheumatology, and describe the contributions of Max Hirsch, MD in the formation of professional rheumatology societies. Material and Methods: Historical documents from the medical history collection of Vogelsang –Gommern, Germany, and original person- al documents of the Hirsch family and information from the medical and historical period literature were used in developing this report. Results: The first efforts at organizing rheumatology as a recognized clinical and academic discipline took place in the 1920s. Many of the first proponents were balneologists who cared for patients with chronic arthritic conditions without the benefit of effective medications. Max Hirsch, MD was a major figure in the development of modern rheumatology as it emerged from the provenance of balneology and orthopedics as a recognized organized medical discipline, contributing to the founding of the German Society for Rheumatology and the International League Against Rheumatism. Conclusion: Max Hirsch made significant contributions to scientific and organized rheumatology in the early days of the discipline. His contributions to the field and his fate as a Jewish physician have only recently come to light. Keywords: Max Hirsch, history of rheumatology, balneology Introduction The leaders and founders of rheumatology as a formal academic discipline and the initiators of national and international professional rheumatology societies and organizations are well known and appreciated in the rheumatology and wider medical communities.

  • 1 Georgism and the Decline of Liberalism in Interwar Britain Jules
    1 Georgism and the Decline of Liberalism in Interwar Britain Jules Gehrke, Saginaw Valley State University [The following is a work in progress. No portion of the paper should be cited without the author’s permission.] Few historical studies have critically examined the decline of Georgism in Britain after the First World War. 1 The loss of an electorally effective Liberal Party and the emergence of a Labour Party dedicated to taming the menace of capitalism have been highlighted as important factors in the steady decline in the influence wielded by Georgist supporters. Nonetheless, Georgist organizations continued to organize during the interwar period and worked to adapt their messages to altered social and economic conditions. Adherents sought new support for initiatives politically and economically tied to radical liberalism. The study of interwar Georgism allows for critical examination of how a political, social, and economic movement born in late Victorian Britain struggled to negotiate the politics of an interwar period in which the new centers of political power lay with the Labour and Conservative parties. Georgism propounded a message of reform that its adherents suggested would not only would give new life to the deflated capitalism of interwar Britain, but establish a fundamentally new basis of social and economic justice. An examination of how and why Georgism remained confined to the political margins during a period of economic upheaval helps to illuminate critical elements of the altered political make-up of interwar politics and the fate of political liberalism in early twentieth-century Britain. The ideas of Henry George defied easy political categorization, but were nonetheless the spark for early movements in social and economic reform.

  • Socialistischer Verein Vorwärts: Melbourne's Nineteenth Century
    Socialistischer Verein Vorwärts: Melbourne’s nineteenth century German socialist association. By Volkhard Wehner © Copyright 2020 Volkhard Wehner Abstract In 1886 a small group of German immigrants—mostly refugees from Bismarck’s anti- socialist terror—founded a club in Melbourne they named Socialistischer Verein Vorwärts. It was one of Australia’s earliest socialist associations. Despite an acute lack of primary documentation, this article attempts to examine the background and activities of the club’s members to determine to what extent, and with what success, they and their club participated in Victoria’s political life at a time when numerous socialist, communist, anarchist and reformist workers’ clubs were emerging, all of them contributing to the formation of the political Left. It also attempts to determine whether the activities of the club had any long-term effect on the political scene in Victoria. The conclusion indicates that despite their experiences in Germany’s militant political environment, Vorwärts members appeared to adopt a fairly passive attitude that lacked a clear focus and failed to advocate class warfare along the lines of the German socialist movement. A brief comparison is made with a German club in Argentina bearing the same name that adopted more deliberate and consistent socialist objectives. Keywords: Socialistischer Verein Vorwärts; Verein Vorwärts, Melbourne; Victoria, Australia- Socialist associations; Socialism-Australia; Louis Gross, socialist agitator; Gross Family, Melbourne The foundation of the Socialistischer Verein ‘Vorwärts’1 Introduction In late 1886 a small group of German expatriates met in Melbourne to form a political club they named Socialistischer Verein ‘Vorwärts.’ Though scant, the evidence of their activities clearly shows that their aim was to share among themselves their political experiences, collect books and pamphlets on socialism, and in some way to participate in the political life of their new homeland.

  • Classical Liberalism in Australian Economics · Econ Journal Watch : Australian Economics,History of Economic Thought,Economic H
    Discuss this article at Journaltalk: http://journaltalk.net/articles/5884 ECON JOURNAL WATCH 12(2) May 2015: 192–220 Classical Liberalism in Australian Economics Chris Berg1 LINK TO ABSTRACT Classical liberalism is not a dominant tradition in Australian economics. Nonetheless, Australia has an important and underappreciated strand of classical liberal thought that stretches from the nineteenth century until today. This paper emphasises the most prominent and important classical liberals, movements, and organisations, as well as their relationship to the economics profession at large, since colonisation. Of course no survey can include every popular expositor of classical liberalism nor every academic economist who shares a philosophical disposition towards free markets and small government. Furthermore, a survey of this tradition must include not only academic economists and theoretical innovators but public intellectuals and popularisers. Australia was colonised at the tail end of the Enlightenment. The establishment of New South Wales in 1788 as a penal colony run by the military sparked a constitutional and philosophical debate about the legitimate basis of government in Australia, a debate that to a great extent proceeded on Lockean precepts (Gascoigne 2002). Australian libraries were full of works by Scottish Enlightenment authors. Every known Australian library in the 1830s held Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (Dixon 1986). During the first half century of the Australian colonies, economics education was given privately or through the system of Mechanics Institutes that sought to raise the education of the working class. There were no formal academies of learning in Australia until the establishment of the University of Sydney in 1850 and 1.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY GENERAL ISSUES SOCIAL THEORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE COHEN, MrrcHELL.The Wager of Lucien Goldmann. Tragedy, Dialectics, and a Hidden God. Princeton University Press, Princeton 1994. xiii, 351 pp. $35.00; £26.50. This is a comprehensive intellectual biography of Lucien Goldmann (1913-1970), a student of Lukdcs and a leading figure among the second generation of Western Marxists. Contrary to the structuralist mode that prevailed among his contemporary French colleagues, Goldmann, according to his biographer, did not believe in the scientificity of a Marxism that viewed the future of humanity as determined by an inexorable unfolding of history's laws. Professor Cohen describes Goldmann as a champion of socialist humanism, and captures his "genetic structuralist" method, his sociology of literature, and his libertarian politics. The Elgar Companion to Radical Political Economy. Ed. by Philip Arestis and Malcolm Sawyer. Edward Elgar, Aldershot 1994. xx, 492 pp. £85.00. This reference book aims to provide comprehensive coverage of radical political economy, encompassing a range of different schools of economic thought, includ- ing the Post Keynesian, Kaleckian, Marxian, Institutionalise and Sraffian approaches. In over one hundred entries, a wide range of specialists in the field discuss topics, ideas, and theories from this field, with production as the common theme, rather than the exchange focus of neoclassical and Austrian economics. The entries focus on dynamics, income distribution, growth and development, and capital accumulation. The positive elements in radical political economy receive special emphasis. GREEN, DONALD P.
