    ccc_strachman_ch01_9-44.qxd 6/15/05 12:03 PM Page 9 1Chapter Hedge Fund Basics or the better part of the past twenty years, the only time the press mentioned hedge funds was when one blew up or some Fsort of crisis hit one of the world’s many markets. All that changed in the late summer of 1998. The currency crisis in Asia spread to Russia, then crept into Europe, and finally hit the shores of the United States in mid-July and early August. Many who follow the markets assumed that things were bad and were going to stay that way for a very long time. And of course the first people who were looked at when the volatility hit was the hedge fund community. Although no one knew for sure what was going on and who and how much was lost, one thing was clear: Many of the most famous hedge funds were in trouble. After COPYRIGHTEDweeks of speculation and rumors, MATERIAL the market finally heard the truth: The world’s “greatest investor” and his colleagues had made a mistake. At a little before 4 P.M. eastern standard time (EST) on Wednesday, August 26, Stanley Druckenmiller made the an- nouncement on CNBC in a matter-of-fact way: The Soros organiza- tion, in particular its flagship hedge fund, the Quantum Fund, had lost more than $2 billion in recent weeks in the wake of the currency 9 ccc_strachman_ch01_9-44.qxd 6/15/05 12:03 PM Page 10 10 HEDGE FUND BASICS crisis in Russia.

  • Journal of World-Systems Research
    JOURNAL OF WORLD-SYSTEMS RESEARCH ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. # 21 No. 2 | http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2015.9 | jwsr.org From Socialism Vol.to Hedge 1 | DOI Fund: 10.5195/JWSR.1 The Human Element and the New History of Capitalism David Huyssen The University of York [email protected] Abstract Alfred Winslow Jones was a socialist who founded the first hedge fund in 1949. Born in 1900, he had occupied successive positions of diplomatic, academic, and journalistic influence, and his invention of the modern hedge fund has had an outsized impact on global capitalism’s contemporary round of financialization. His life would therefore appear to offer ideal material for a “great-man” biography. Yet this “great man” also recognized that structural forces were continually undermining his hopes for social change. Following Georgi Derluguian, Giovanni Arrighi, and Marc Bloch, this article proposes a world-system biography of Jones as a method better suited for mapping the internal dialectics of twentieth-century capitalism, using Jones as a human connection between cyclical and structural transformations of capitalism, and across changes of phase from financial to material expansion—and back again. Contemporary hedge funds are the material and symbolic quintessence of the current, hyper-financialized world-system and its ongoing crises of inequality and overaccumulation, or David Harvey’s “vulture capitalism.” Yet they were conceived by a man devoted to rectifying the political-economic chaos following an earlier crisis of overaccumulation. On another level, this article suggests a theoretical reorientation—toward what Bloch called “the human element”—for studies of capitalism’s cultural and material history.

Aderman: Irving’s Income as a Diplomat IRVING’S INCOME AS A DIPLOMAT RALPH M. ADERMAN THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, MILWAUKEE Although Washington Irving earned his living primarily by his writing, his income from his service as a diplomat supported him when his literary earnings were slow or non-existent. His nephew and biographer, Pierre Munroe Irving, who has itemized the receipts from the sale of his copy-righted writings from Knickerbocker's History of New York to the Life of George Washington and the collected editions published by G. P. Putnam, has arrived at a total of $205,383.34 by the time of Irving’s death in November 1859. An additional $34,237.03 accrued from sales during the next four years.1 Since P. M. Irving did not include income from Irving’s journalistic writing for the Morning Chronicle, the Analectic Magazine, and the Knickerbocker Magazine and payments for other volumes not included in the tally, we can assume that his literary earnings probably totaled about $250,000.

A stalemate was finnly established between the two countries. The position ,of the Japanese nation was to expand and control "Greater East-Asia," while the position the United States held was one that claimed all nations should uphold certain basic principles of democracy, that all nations should honor the sanctity of treaties," and that they should treat neighboring countries in a friendly fashion.

    The Rise of the United States’ Airfield Empire in Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia (1927-1945) How America’s Political Leaders Achieved Mastery over the Global Commons and created the “American Century” By Jonathan Ruano de la Haza June 1, 2012 Supervisor: Professor Eda Kranakis HIS 9999 T Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD degree in History University of Ottawa Department of History Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies University of Ottawa © Jonathan Ruano de la Haza, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 i Abstract The Rise of the United States’ Airfield Empire in Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia (1927-1945): How America’s Political Leaders Achieved Mastery over the Global Commons and created the “American Century” Jonathan Ruano 2012 Professor Eda Kranakis Since the Second World War, the United States has mastered the global commons (the airspace and the sea lanes) with an empire of bases that encircled the earth. These U.S. military bases have not only supported military operations, but were also the foundations for American hegemony. U.S. military bases were key tools of economic domination and globalization, since their purpose was to insure that American corporations enjoyed privileged access to the world’s markets, raw materials and cheap labor. This dissertation seeks to explain the origins of the United States’ base empire, with the main focus being on its overseas aerial infrastructure. By the 1920s, Washington policymakers navigated through the currents of anti-imperialism and pacifism to create an empire that consisted of military bases, but also commercial airfields that could be converted to military use.

    FONDS & DERIVATE The history of hedge funds: Longer than you might think Many people, even sophisticated investors, believe that hedge funds are a very recent arrival on the investment scene. But that is a very popular misconception.Although Asia saw its first hedge funds only in the 1980s, the very first hedge fund seen anywhere in the world was, in fact, launched four decades earlier, in the United States. It is the widespread and growing popularity of hedge funds that is new, rather than the underlying concept. In fact, their popularity has grown exponentially since the start of the 1990s, and that growth currently shows no signs of slowing. conclude that there Jones that nobody can keep up with”. had to be a system This contained details of his invest- superior to those ment approach, together with the reve- used for managing lation that his partnership had outper- money at the time, formed the most successful mutual and he set about fund that year by 44%.
