  • LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, and an INTERVIEW with GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth Univ
    WEIRD RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS: LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, AND AN INTERVIEW WITH GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth University Keywords: Christianity, Larry Norman, Jesus Rock, CCM, Religion 'Christian rock is a genre that exists to edify and make money off evangelical Christians. [...] A Christian band , on the other hand is just a band that has more than one Christian in it.' – John Jeremiah Sullivan (2012: 17-18) Although The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Popular Music (Stewart and Abraham 2017) contains chapters such as Michael J. Gilmour's 'The Bible and Popular Music' (67-76) and Ibrahim Abraham and Francis Stewarts' 'Punk and Hardcore' (241- 250), there remains little informed academic consideration of the Christian music genre, especially punk and post-punk. John J. Thompson's Raised by Wolves (2000) and Mark Joseph's The Rock & Roll Rebellion (1999) offer insider histories, whilst Andrew Beaujon's Body Piercing Saved My Life (2006) is an hilarious, sceptical exploration of 'the phenomenon of Christian rock', focussed mostly on the early 2000s. Gilmour 's Call Me the Seeker: Listening to Religion in Popular Music (2005) is interested more in religious sources and themes; the nearest it gets to post-punk is Anna Kessler's consideration of Nick Cave (79-94) and J.R.C. Cousland's discussion of 'God, the Bad, and the Ugly' in the work of Nick Cave and Polly Harvey (129-157). Better, is Jay R Howard & John M. Streck's Apostle of Rock (1999), which takes a more sociological approach to what it calls 'The Splintered World of Contemporary Christian Music' and considers the tensions between ideas of ministry, entertainment, art and business for Christian musicians.

  • Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan
    Irving Fisher and His Compensated Dollar Plan Don Patinkin his is a story that illustrates the interrelationship between economic his- tory and economic thought: more precisely, between monetary history T and monetary thought. So let me begin with a very brief discussion of the relevant history. In 1879, the United States returned to the gold standard from which it had departed at the time of the Civil War. This took place in a period in which “a combination of events, including a slowing of the rate of increase of the world’s stock of gold, the adoption of the gold standard by a widening circle of countries, and a rapid increase in aggregate economic output, produced a secular decline ˙.. in the world price level measured in gold˙...” (Friedman and Schwartz 1963, p. 91; for further details, see Friedman 1990, and Laidler 1991, pp. 49–50). The specific situation thus generated in the United States was de- scribed by Irving Fisher (1913c, p. 27) in the following words: “For a quarter of a century—from 1873 to 1896—the dollar increased in purchasing power and caused a prolonged depression of trade, culminating in the political upheaval which led to the free silver campaign of 1896, when the remedy proposed was worse than the disease.” This was, of course, the campaign which climaxed with William J. Bryan’s famous “cross of gold” speech in the presidential election of 1896. Fisher’s view of this campaign reflected the fact that it called for the unlimited coinage of silver at a mint price far higher than its market value, a policy that would have led to a tremendous increase in the quantity of money and the consequent generation of strong inflationary pressures.

Among these measures was the first peacetime wage- price freeze in our history. In prescribing the 90-day freeze, I set down several guiding principles: we would move toward a greater sta- bility of wages and prices, but we would do this without fastening on the Nation a permanent straitjacket of con- trols and without creating a huge bureaucracy. These principles prompted the establishment of the interagency Cost of Living Council under the chairmanship of the Secretary of the Treasury, the designation of the Office of Emergency Preparedness as the central instrument to administer the freeze, and the reliance upon the coordi- nated teamwork of the other Federal departments and agencies. Under the leadership of Director George A. Lincoln, the Office of Emergency Preparedness succeeded in holding the line while we worked out the longer term measures needed to maintain wage-price moderation and improve our position in the changing world economy.

  • Chapter 3: Financial Analysis with Inflation
    CHAPTER 3: FINANCIAL ANALYSIS WITH INFLATION Up to now, we have mostly ignored inflation. However, inflation and interest are closely related. It was noted in the last chapter that interest rates should generally cover more than inflation. In fact, the amount of interest earned over inflation is the only real reward for an investment. Consider an investment of $1,000 that earns 4% over a one-year period, and assume that during that year the inflation rate is also 4%. At the end of the year, the investor receives $1,040. Has the investor gained anything from this investment? On the surface, he has earned $40, so it seems like he has. However, because of inflation, the purchasing power of the $1,040 that he now has is the same as the purchasing power that the initial investment of $1,000 would have had a year earlier. Essentially, the investor has earned nothing. In this case, we would say that the real rate of return, the rate of return after inflation, was zero. It is easy to confuse discounting and compounding, which account for the time value of money, with deflating and inflating, which account for the changing purchasing power of money. Inflation reduces the purchasing power of a unit of currency, such as the dollar, so a dollar at one point in time will not have the same purchasing power as a dollar at another point in time. Inflating and deflating are used to adjust an amount expressed in dollars associated with one point in time to an amount with equivalent amount of purchasing power expressed in dollars associated with another point in time.
