  • 1 Department of History, University of Pittsburgh Capitalism and Empire
    Department of History, University of Pittsburgh Capitalism and Empire Core Seminar, HIST 2714 Spring Semester 2007 Richard Oestreicher and Patrick Manning Theme of the course Most people probably assume that capitalism is like the elephant: hard to describe if you haven’t seen it before, but once you have seen it, you know exactly what it is. In this course on the history of capitalism and empire, and we proceed from the opposite assumption: that it is not self-evident what the term “capitalism” entails, nor is it self- evident what questions a history of capitalism must answer. We will look at capitalist development and the relationship between capitalist development and empire across a vast sweep of time and space. We will start our discussions around the following questions, but other questions may arise as we learn more. When does capitalism begin? Is capitalism simply a synonym for any form of market activity or is it a more specific way of organizing human production and exchange? Are there “laws” of capitalist development, stages of capitalist development or does capitalism develop differently in different parts of the world? What role did force, violence, conquest, slavery and imperialism play in capitalist development? Does industrialization represent a sharp departure from previous capitalist modes of production? Does contemporary capitalism differ from earlier forms? Empire, while subordinate to capitalism in the organization of the course and in the number of readings, can be addressed from two perspectives. First, it can be seen as a large-scale organization of power that provides support to capitalist development, especially during the last five hundred years.

  • Ron Numbers Collection-- the Creationists
    Register of the Ron Numbers Collection-- The Creationists Collection 178 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, Michigan 49104-1400 1992, revised 2007 Ron Numbers Collection--The Creationists (Collection 178) Scope and Content This collection contains the records used as resource material for the production of Dr. Numbers' book, The Creationists, published in 1992. This book documents the development of the creationist movement in the face of the growing tide of evolution. The bulk of the collection dates from the 20th century and covers most of the prominent, individual creationists and pro-creation groups of the late 19th and 20th century primarily in the United States, and secondarily, those in England, Australia, and Canada. Among the types of records included are photocopies of articles and other publications, theses, interview tapes and transcripts, and official publications of various denominations. One of the more valuable contributions of this collection is the large quantity of correspondence of prominent individuals. These records are all photocopies. A large section contains documentation related to Seventh-day Adventist creationists. Adventists were some of the leading figures in the creationist movement, and foremost among this group is George McCready Price. The Adventist Heritage Center holds a Price collection. The Numbers collection contributes additional correspondence and other documentation related to Price. Arrangement Ron Numbers organized this collection for the purpose of preparing his book manuscript, though the book itself is not organized in this way. Dr. Numbers suggested his original arrangement be retained. While the collection is arranged in its original order, the outline that follows may be of help to some researchers.

INTRODUCTION Globalization has had, and presumably will continue to have, many effects on labor and employment around much of the world.1 What it has not caused, however, is the end of labor law. The real question is how labor law can respond to the challenges presented by globalization. In order to promote an efficacious labor law, it is my thesis that a new global goal should be added to the labor law agenda – decent work with a living wage. The 1998 Declaration of the ILO setting forth fundamental labor principles should be expanded to include decent work with a living wage. The goal of decent work with a living wage can help keep labor law viable because it can be the organizing principle for a broad array of unions and workers worldwide as well as other interested groups to push for its implementa- tion as a matter of regional and national law.

  • Unpacking Andre Gunder Frank (1967) in Twenty First Century Third World Politics
    International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) ISSN: 2643-9670 Vol. 3 Issue 11, November – 2019, Pages: 67-71 “Poverty in the Developing Countries is caused by the Development of Underdevelopment”: Unpacking Andre Gunder Frank (1967) In Twenty First Century Third World Politics MAZI MBAH, C.C.

PETER BELUCHUKWU OKOYE Department of Political Science, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam Campus – Nigeria Tel: 0806-613-9982 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study is a re-examination of the essence of Andre Gunder Frank’s (1967), landmark statement that “poverty in the developing countries is caused by the development of underdevelopment”, in which he held external forces arising from imperialism as being responsible for the poverty in the Third World. The main aim of the study is to re-evaluate Frank’s earlier statement in the light of contemporary Third World Politics using the Historical Descriptive method and Dependency Theoretical Framework of analysis. The study discovered that poverty is still at the root of Third World’s underdevelopment and is even growing at geometrical proportion in the developing countries in the 21st century. This makes Frank’s landmark statement of (1967), very much relevant today as it was the time he made it. But holding only external forces arising from imperialism whether old or new solely responsible for the growing poverty in the developing countries does not add up to explain the alarming rate of poverty increase and underdevelopment in the Third World in the 21st century.

  • 1 Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book: the History of Science
    Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book: The History of Science Meets the Tradition of Christianity Course Context In the 1980s, historian David Christian embarked on a delightfully daring journey: to narrate the entire history of the world from its origins to the present. Ignoring the sacred cow of academic specialization, in which academics are only encouraged to speak about their immediate areas of intellectual concentration, Christian coined the term “Big History” to refer to the history of the cosmos in all of its fourteen-billion years of glory. Even though he was an Australian historian of Russia, with little formal training in science, Christian began teaching history in a way that no one had quite done before. As David Christian was attempting to understand the evolution of history across fourteen billion years, many conservative Christians were actively vilifying the consensus of scientists when it came to the age of the universe, the age of earth, and the origins of human life. Kenneth Ham, an Australian like David Christian who is also around the same age, is at the forefront of creationist apologetics. Ham founded the Creation Museum and he is president of a highly influential organization that teaches young-earth creationism and rejects the methodologies and assumptions of mainstream science. Who is right, David Christian or Ken Ham? And what difference does it make anyway? Course Description In Big History, the Big Bang, and the Big Book, we will explore the intersection between the history of mainstream science and the beliefs of evangelical Christianity. As we look at each of the major branches of science, we will do so with an eye toward understanding how it impacts the thought and practice of Protestant evangelicalism.

  • From Immanuel Wallerstein's
    chapter 1 Theories of Socioeconomic Impact: from Immanuel Wallerstein’s ‘World Systems’ to Kondratiev/Schumpeter Waves 1.1 World Systems Analysis: from Business Cycles to Ancient World Theory In scholarly literature, we find wide-ranging theoretical inquiries related to the perception of trade and the origins of past economic phenomena.1 Different approaches determine the particular interpretations of economic changes, 1 One of these theoretical currents in the literature is a concept of the functioning of the world systems in the past, known as the ancient world systems theory, created on grounds formed by Immanuel Wallerstein’s inquiries. In particular, the ancient world systems theory involves the question of how far back in the past it is possible to project the phenomena observed by Wallerstein. See Kajsa Ekholm and Jonathan Friedman, “Capital imperialism and exploi- tation in ancient world systems,” in Historical Transformations: The Anthropology of Global Systems, eds. Kajsa Ekholm and Jonathan Friedman, (Lanham/New York/Toronto/Plymouth: AltaMira Press, 2008), pp. 59–70. See also Jonathan Friedman and Michael J. Rowlands, “Notes toward epigenetic model of the evolution of civilization,” in Historical Transformations: The Anthropology of Global Systems, pp. 87–92. This current in inquiries concerning archaeologi- cal research was summarized by Christoph Kümmel. Christoph Kümmel, Frühe Weltsysteme: Zentrum und Peripherie-Modelle in der Archäologie, (Tübinger Texte. Materialen zur Ur-und Frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie) 4 (Rahden/Westfalen: Verlag Marie Leidorf, 2001). What might be of interest in the model of ancient world systems theory is precisely its historical as- pect: the possibility of perceiving the ancient empires through the prism of the world system (or rather of world systems).

  • 2010 Summer Update
    MANHATTAN INSTITUTE 2010SUMMER DEAR MI FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, At the Manhattan Institute, we pride ourselves on the quality of our public policy research and the practical impact of our ideas. We have long known that Washington is not the only place for new ideas—indeed some of the most important and influential polices first take hold at the state and local levels. From the Manhattan Institute’s inception we have placed a special emphasis on these issues and enjoyed great success, for example, in the areas of policing and public assistance. Today, with the nation’s cascading crisis of public Lawrence J. Mone debt reaching the state and local levels, our fellows are utilizing their expertise to explain the roots of the problem and propose solutions. The growing influence of public-employee unions and the demands that they place on the public purse are unsustainable. For years, MI senior fellows E. J. McMahon and Steven Malanga have warned about public spending run amok. Happily, the general public is getting the message and electing political leaders willing to make the tough decisions needed to rein in government spending. M I MANHATTAN INSTITUTE FOR POLICY RESEARCH The mission of the Manhattan Institute is to develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility. New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s policy address to the Manhattan Institute on his proposed property-tax cap legislation was the first event in a series on “Ideas for the New Decade” highlighting innovative leaders across the country. One such leader is New Jersey governor Christie’s speech, which is available for viewing Chris Christie, whom George Will recently dubbed the on the Manhattan Institute’s website (as are most of our “Trenton Thunder” for his willingness to shake up that events nowadays), is worth quoting at length: state’s political establishment.

    Into the Third Millennium: Neocorporatism, the State and the Urban Planning Profession Nancy G. Marshall A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA © Nancy G. Marshall 2000 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Project Report Sheet Surname or Family name: Marshall First name: Nancy Other name/s: Gaye Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Planning Faculty: Built Environment Title: Into the Third Millennium: Neocorporatism, the State and the Urban Planning Profession Abstract 350 words maximum (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis maintains that, far from being politically impartial bodies, as professional associations might suggest, professions as a whole are resolutely influenced in their activities by the political will of the times. At the beginning of the third millennium, this ‘will’ is described as neocorporatism, an ideology based on corporate structure and third sector co-governance. The research highlights the interrelationships between professions and ideology. A case study of the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) demonstrates how this neocorporatist philosophy is having an impact on its power and legitimacy and, ultimately, its effect within Canadian society. An historical review demonstrates how the Canadian Institute of Planners has reacted to and reflected state ideology throughout its history. It is clear that the organisation has been in a submissive relationship with the state until recently, where we see the balance of power starting to shift. The CIP is currently reorganising itself to better integrate with the state and improve its government relations.
