A Revisionist History of Regulatory Capture WILLIAM J. NOVAK A Revisionist History of Regulatory Capture WILLIAM J. NOVAK PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF LAW The idea of regulatory capture has controlled discussions of economic regulation and regulatory reform for more than two generations. Originating soon after World War II, the so-called “capture thesis” was an early harbinger of the more general critique of the American regulatory state that dominated the closing decades of the 20th century. The political ramifications of that broad critique of government continue to be felt today both in the resilient influence of neoliberal policies like deregulation and privatization as well as in the rise of more virulent and populist forms of anti-statism. Indeed, the capture thesis has so pervaded recent assessments of regulation that it has assumed something of the status of a ground norm – a taken-for-granted term of art and an all-purpose social-scientific explanation – that itself frequently escapes critical scrutiny or serious scholarly interrogation. This essay attempts to challenge this state of affairs by taking a critical look at the emergence of regulatory capture theory from the perspective of history. After introducing a brief account of the diverse intellectual roots of the capture idea, this essay makes three interpretive moves.

    Edward M. Eyring

    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

Davis Marquette University, [email protected] Accepted version. History of Economic Ideas, Vol. 24, No. 3 (2016): 77-94. DOI. © 2016 Fabrizio Serra Editore. Used with permission. Forthcoming in History of Economic Ideas Economics imperialism versus multidisciplinarity John B. Davis, Marquette University and University of Amsterdam 2015 STOREP Conference Plenary Lecture Shifting Boundaries: Economics in the Crisis and the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity June 11-13, 2015 Abstract: This paper examines the implications of Chicago School economist Edward Lazear’s 2000 defense of economics imperialism using standard trade theory. It associates that defense with interdisciplinarity or the idea that the sciences are relatively autonomous, but treats this defense as a mask for a more conventional imperialist strategy of promoting Chicago School neoclassicism. Lazear’s argument actually created a dilemma for Chicago regarding how it could espouse interdisciplinarity while operating in a contrary way. I argue that the solution to this dilemma was for neoclassicism to rebuild economics imperialism around neoclassicism as a theory that sees the world in its own image in a performative manner. This strategy, however, suffers from a number of problems, which upon examination ultimately lead us to multidisciplinarity or the idea that the sciences can have transformative effects on one another. This latter conception can be associated with a complexity economics approach as an alternative view of the relation between the sciences. The paper argues that this view provides a basis for pluralism in economics.

    Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus

    Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus Name: Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus Lebensdaten: 25. Dezember 1876 - 9. Juni 1956 Adolf Windaus war ein deutscher Chemiker. Er untersuchte Naturstoffe, vor allem die biochemisch wichtigen Sterine und ihren Zusammenhang mit anderen Naturstoffen. Er entdeckte die chemische Verwandtschaft von Cholesterin und Gallensäure. Außerdem lieferte er Arbeiten über Vitamine, vor allem das Vitamin D. Zwischen 1927 und 1931 gelang ihm die Isolierung mehrerer D-Vitamine. Seine Forschungen bildeten die Grundlage für später von seinen Schülern durchgeführten Arbeiten über die menschlichen Sexualhormone. Für seine Verdienste um die Erforschung des Aufbaus der Sterine und ihres Zusammenhangs mit den Vitaminen wurde Adolf Windaus 1928 mit dem Nobelpreis für Chemie ausgezeichnet. Akademischer und beruflicher Werdegang Adolf Windaus begann 1895 ein Studium der Medizin an der Universität Freiburg. Er wechselte nach Berlin, wo er 1897 das Physikum bestand. 1899 wurde er in Freiburg mit einer Arbeit über Neue Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Digitalisstoffe promoviert wurde. 1901 war er zunächst in Berlin als Assistent von Emil Fischer (Nobelpreis für Chemie 1902) tätig. Während dieser Zeit wandte er sich zunehmend chemischen Fragestellungen zu. Außerdem begann er mit seinen Forschungen zu den Sterinen. 1903 habilitierte er sich in Freiburg mit einer Arbeit über Cholesterin. 1906 erhielt er eine außerordentliche Professur an der Universität Göttingen. Im Anschluss wechselte er für zwei Jahre an die Universität Innsbruck, wo er eine außerordentliche Professur für angewandte medizinische Chemie erhielt. 1915 ging er zurück nach Göttingen, wo er als Nachfolger von Otto Wallach (Nobelpreis für Chemie 1910) Ordinarius für Chemie wurde. Dort blieb er bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahr 1944.

    Why Is There No Milton Friedman Today? · Econ Journal Watch

    Discuss this article at Journaltalk: http://journaltalk.net/articles/5808 ECON JOURNAL WATCH 10(2) May 2013: 210-213 Why Is There No Milton Friedman Today? Richard A. Posner1 LINK TO ABSTRACT The short answer to the question posed by Econ Journal Watch is that Milton Friedman combined, with enormous success both within the economics pro- fession and in the society at large, three distinct roles. He was an analyst, using conventional analytical methods, of technical issues in macroeconomics, such as business cycle economics (with emphasis on the role of money), inflation and deflation, international exchange rates, and the consumption function. He was an advocate on economic grounds of specific public policies, such as an end to conscription, a negative income tax (of which the Earned Income Tax Credit is a variant, adding a work requirement surprisingly absent from Friedman’s proposal), and school vouchers. And he was a public intellectual/guru/philosopher, ad- vocating in books, magazines, op-ed pages, and electronic media a politically controversial return to libertarian (equivalently, free-market, laissez-faire, classical- liberal) economic policy. Friedman also made an influential contribution to economic methodology in arguing that an economic theory should be tested by its predictive accuracy alone, without regard to the realism or unrealism of its assumptions (Friedman 1953). The argument is questionable because, owing to the difficulty of assessing such consequences (reliable experiments concerning economic behavior are very difficult to conduct), economists have tended to rely heavily—certainly Friedman did—on assumptions, often assumptions based on priors rooted in ideology, personality, or other subjective factors.
