  • Early Modern Japan
    December 1995 Early Modern Japan KarenWigen) Duke University The aims of this paperare threefold: (I) to considerwhat Westernhistorians mean when they speakof Early Modern Japan,(2) to proposethat we reconceivethis period from the perspectiveof world networks history, and (3) to lay out someof the advantagesI believe this offers for thinking aboutSengoku and Tokugawasociety. The idea that Japan had an early modern period is gradually becoming common in every sector of our field, from institutional to intellectual history. Yet what that means has rarely been discussed until now, even in the minimal sense of determining its temporal boundaries: I want to thank David Howell and James Ketelaar for raising the issue in this forum, prompting what I hope will become an ongoing conversation about our periodization practices. To my knowledge, the sole attempt in English to trace the intellectual genealogy of this concept is John Hall's introduction to the fourth volume of the Cambridge History of Japan-a volume that he chose to title Early Modern Japan. Hall dates this expression to the 1960s, when "the main concern of Western scholars of the Edo period was directed toward explaining Japan's rapid modernization." Its ascendancy was heralded by the 1968 publication of Studies in the Institutional History of Early Modern Japan, which Hall co-edited with Marius Jansen. "By declaring that the Tokugawa period should be called Japan's 'early modern' age," he reflects, "this volume challenged the common practice of assuming that Japan during the Edo period was still fundamentally feudal.") Although Hall sees the modernization paradigm as having been superseded in later decades, he nonetheless reads the continuing popularity of the early modern designation as a sign that most Western historians today see the Edo era as "more modern than feudal.',4 This notion is reiterated in even more pointed terms by Wakita Osamu in the same volume.

Thanks to Malcolm Rorty, a business economist, and Nahum I. Stone, an independent socialist economist, a “Committee on the Distribution of Income” was created; what might be considered the first name of the Bureau.

  • Speech--Chairman Ben S. Bernanke
    For release on delivery 9:30 a.m. EDT May 8, 2010 Commencement Address: The Economics of Happiness Remarks by Ben S. Bernanke Chairman Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at the University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina May 8, 2010 I want to begin by thanking the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina, President Pastides, and this year’s graduates for the great honor of addressing this commencement ceremony. Although I was born just across the border in Augusta, Georgia, I considered South Carolina my home from early childhood until I married and took my first academic job after graduate school. During most of that time, my family lived in Dillon, a couple of hours’ drive from here. I have had several occasions to visit Dillon and other places in the Carolinas since I got into government work, and I am both amazed and proud about the remarkable economic and social progress that has occurred since I grew up here. South Carolina, like America, is always reinventing itself, despite new and, it sometimes seems, ever more difficult challenges. I always find it difficult to choose a topic for a commencement talk. I am an economist, but my experience has been that people in a celebratory frame of mind are usually not that interested in an economics lecture. (I can’t quite understand why not.) Instead, they are generally looking for something more personal and inspirational. So I thought I would split the difference between an economics lecture and inspirational remarks and speak briefly about what economics and social science more generally have to say about personal happiness, and what those ideas imply both for economic policymaking and the choices each of you will make as you leave college for other pursuits.

  • The Cultural Unity of Black Africa, the Domains of Matriarchy and Of
    92 UFAHAMU BOOK REVIEWS The Cultural Unity of Black Africa, The Domains of Matriarchy and of Patriarchy in Classical Antiquity by Cheikh Anta Oiop, 1989, Karnack House, London; Conceptions of History: Cheikh Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga by Chris Gray, 1989, Karnack House, London. Ironically his [Oiop's) strength was his weakness in that he touched upon so many fields and opened so many possibilities for further research, orthodox scholars were able to point to some of his more controversial hypotheses in order to discredit him and all his ideas.(Gray, p. 67) At the root of this frustration is the basic dilemma ... faced not only by African historians but by African intellectuals in general; that is, they must fight for an African interpretation of their own history and culture in an area constructed by Europeans and according to rules and standards drawn up by these same Europeans. (Gray, p. 61) The above two quotes found in Chris Gray's book sum up Oiop's contributions and problems in The Cultural Unity of Black Africa. Diop raises incredibly provocative questions about the whole interpretation of history by Europeans, and offers an Afro-centric alternative. Interestingly, Oiop's hypotheses dovetail into some of the most exciting recent research done on the origins of gender differences. Scanning Diop's bibliography it is clear that he has reviewed none of the latest works by these feminist scholars. Instead he uses an Afro-centric as opposed to female-centric approach to reach similar conclusions. And what are these conclusions? First, he views the development of world history as very different in the Northern regions of the world than in the Southern hemisphere.

  • The Business Historian and His Sources by GERALD T
    The Business Historian and His Sources By GERALD T. WHITE San Francisco State College Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/30/1/19/2744942/aarc_30_1_521002672m277457.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 ERHAPS you may have heard—though I hope you haven't— that story of William Jennings Bryan casting about for an P appropriate beginning for an after-dinner talk in Japan when he was on a world tour. Wanting rapport with his audience, he asked his host to coach him so that he might say a few words of greeting in Japanese. But after considerable effort, it was evident that the language was proving too much for his good intentions. His host helpfully volunteered, "Why don't you say something simple? Why don't you just say 'Ohaio,' which in Japanese means 'hello?' " "Oh," said a relieved Bryan, "That will be easy. Ohio is the name of one of our great States." So that evening he stood before his Japanese audience, beamed, spread his arms wide, and said, "Oklahoma!" My problem I trust will not be an inability to communicate, though I must confess that in accepting the invitation of your pro- gram chairman one lure for me was an awareness that business history as a field for research and writing appears to be not too widely known among our profession. Surely the impact of business history on the mainstream of history, if we judge by textbooks, has been remarkably slight.1 What I propose to offer for your con- sideration this evening is an overview of the field's development, its problems, and its potentialities.

  • The Great Depression As a Historical Problem
    Upjohn Institute Press The Great Depression as a Historical Problem Michael A. Bernstein University of California, San Diego Chapter 3 (pp. 63-94) in: The Economics of the Great Depression Mark Wheeler, ed. Kalamazoo, MI: W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, 1998 DOI: 10.17848/9780585322049.ch3 Copyright ©1998. W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. All rights reserved. 3 The Great Depression as a Historical Problem Michael A. Bernstein University of California, San Diego It is now over a half-century since the Great Depression of the 1930s, the most severe and protracted economic crisis in American his tory. To this day, there exists no general agreement about its causes, although there tends to be a consensus about its consequences. Those who at the time argued that the Depression was symptomatic of a pro found weakness in the mechanisms of capitalism were only briefly heard. After World War II, their views appeared hysterical and exag gerated, as the industrialized nations (the United States most prominent among them) sustained dramatic rates of growth and as the economics profession became increasingly preoccupied with the development of Keynesian theory and the management of the mixed economy. As a consequence, the economic slump of the inter-war period came to be viewed as a policy problem rather than as an outgrowth of fundamental tendencies in capitalist development. Within that new context, a debate persisted for a few years, but it too eventually subsided. The presump tion was that the Great Depression could never be repeated owing to the increasing sophistication of economic analysis and policy formula tion.

  • Institutional Economics
    INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Malcolm Rutherford University of Victoria (This Draft: March 2001) This paper draws on archival work using the James Bonbright Papers, J. M. Clark Papers, Joseph Dorfman Papers, Carter Goodrich Papers, Robert Hale Papers, and Wesley Mitchell Papers, all at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University, the Arthur F. Burns Papers at the Eisenhower Library, Abilene, Kansas, and the John R. Commons Papers at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. My thanks to Lowell Harriss, Aaron Warner, Eli Ginzberg, Donald Dewey, Mark Perlman, Daniel Fusfeld, Mark Blaug, and Walter Neale for sharing their recollections of Columbia. Thanks also to my research assistant Cristobal Young. Any errors are my responsibility. This research has been supported by a Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada research grant (project # 410-99-0465). 1 1. Introduction In a number of recent papers I have attempted to outline the nature of the institutionalist movement in American economics in the interwar period (Rutherford 2000a, 2000b, 2000c). At that time institutionalism was a very significant part of American economics. In terms of research output and the production of graduate students, the main centers for institutionalism were the university of Chicago (until 1926 and the departure of J. M. Clark), the University of Wisconsin, the Robert Brookings Graduate School (which existed only briefly between 1923 and 1928), and, after the arrival of Wesley Mitchell in 1913, and J. M. Clark in 1926, Columbia University. Columbia University became the academic home of a large concentration of economists of institutionalist leaning, and other Schools and Departments in the University, particularly Business, Law, Sociology, and Philosophy, also contained many people of similar or related persuasion.
