Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1917, Vol. 31 When the Mormons entered Utah in 1847, they found themselves in what they regarded as virtually a desert. Sage brush, interspersed with bunch-grass, covered the hills and valleys, leaving only a green fringe of willows, wild rose bushes, and cottonwood trees along the few small creeks. Scattered tribes of Piutes destitute nomads were the only inhabitants. True, the moun tain scenery impressed its rugged grandeur on the pioneers, but that did not relieve the desolation of the land itself. It cannot better be described than in the words of Captain Howard Stansbury, of the United States Army, who surveyed the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1849.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1914, Vol. 28 All such catchwords, however, are less important in their strict and consistent meaning than in what they imply to the average voter. Their implications are by no means the same. They suggest very difi'erent points of view. The Republicans, when they professed to be desirous of merely equalizing costs of production, made it clear that they meant duties to be kept amply high enough to leave the domestic producer in command of the situation. The Democrats, when they spoke of competition, meant that duties should be kept below the point of prohibition. The Republicans wished to make sure of keeping imports out; the Democrats wished to make sure of letting some in. And further, the Democrats, however, they might speak of competi tive rates and legitimate industries, reserved the alternative, where political or economic expediency prompted it, of throwing these principles to the winds and of fixing duties quite without regard to competition or legitimacy.

This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1921, Vol. 35 Suppose, however, that the elaborate organizations which the workmen now see devoted so exclusively to the interests of the stockholders were conducted equally for the benefit of both workmen and stock holders, that the Obj ect of the ceaseless striving after e iciency and lower costs were just as much the paying Of higher wages as the paying Of higher dividends, and that every increase in profits meant just as much an increase in wages as it did an increase in dividends. In stead Of feeling themselves mere tools employed for the profit of the stockholders the men would be able to feel that industry existed as much for them as for any one else, that industrial enterprises instead of being their masters, attempting to get as much out of them as pos sible, were their servants attempting to produce as much for them as possible. Knowing that industry was being conducted as much for their benefit as for the benefit of the stockholders, the workmen would be able to feel that industry in part belonged to them and that they were a part Of it. They would feel themselves to be insiders and would feel the interest in the affairs of industry and the responsibility for its prosperity which an insider, as contrasted with an outsider, feels.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1915, Vol. 29 A slight but significant change seems to be taking place in the attitude of economic theorists toward psychology. Most of the older writers made no overt reference to psychology, but tacitly imputed to the men whose behavior they were analyzing certain traits con sistent with common sense and convenient as a basis for theorizing. By recent writers, on the contrary, non-intercourse with psychology, long practised in silence, is explicitly proclaimed to be the proper policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 33: November, 1918 In 1913, in 1914, and again in 1915, the United States produced the largest wheat crops ever harvested in this country; the average for the three years was almost bushels. The average exports of wheat (and flour) for the same years were almost a quarter of a million bushels; the exports for the years 1914 - 15 and 1915 - 16 were much the largest recorded during the pres ent century. In striking contrast to these huge crops was the exceedingly disappointing harvest of 1916, which amounted to only bushels. How ever, there was a large carry-over from the 1915 crop, amounting at the beginning of July, 1916, to 179, bushels, which, together with the new crop, made possible an export movement of bushels during the succeeding twelve months.

Download or read book Equilibrium and Disequilibrium in Economic Theory written by G. Schwödiauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of a conference held at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna. There is still a gap reflected both in fundamental meth odological differences and in the style of analysis between the Walrasian (and Edgeworthian) tradition of general equilibrium theory and the theo retical and policy problems raised in the framework of Keynesian and post-Keynesian macroeconomics. The conference succeeded in bringing together economic theorists working in fields ranging from abstract prob lems of mathematical equilibrium analysis to applied macroeconomic theory, and it is hoped that the present volume will contribute to bridging the above-mentioned hiatus. As organizer of the meeting and editor of its proceedings I want to thank the Institute for Advanced Studies for providing facilities and funds. I am also sincerely grateful to all my colleagues from the Institute for their generous help, in particular to Mrs Monika Herkner without whose assistance and organizational talent the conference would certainly not have been the success it in fact - in the opinion of all participants - turned out to have been. Furthermore, I wish to express my gratitude towards all participants in the meeting and contributors to the volume whose patient support of the whole enterprise proved indispensable. To Mrs Elfriede Auracher I am deeply indebted for her skillful and effective general management of the editorial work and her invaluable assistance in compiling the indexes.
Download or read book A New Economic Theory of Public Support for the Arts written by Arnaldo Barone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should the arts receive public support? Can the arts survive in a modern capitalist society? Can economics shed light on the nature of public support, and whether there is a rationale for public intervention? This book undertakes to examine these questions as it explores the ways government and public resources are used to support the arts. This book applies a Veblenian approach to understanding economic development to investigate public support for the arts in an effort to determine whether this approach can elucidate economic rationales for public support. Divided into three parts, the first provides basic information on public support for the arts by surveying support in the United States and Australia. Part two includes a neoclassical overview of the topic while part three presents Veblen’s ideas on economic development. This book will be of interests to researchers concerned with cultural and institutional economics, as well as political economy.

Download or read book Macroeconomic Analysis in the Classical Tradition written by James C W Ahiakpor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroeconomic Analysis in the Classical Tradition explains how the influence of Keynes’s macroeconomics, including his changed definitions of some key macroeconomic concepts, has impeded many analysts’ ability to readily resolve disputes in modern macroeconomics. Expanding on his earlier work—Macroeconomics without the Errors of Keynes (2019)—the author delves into more aspects of macroeconomic theory and argues for a revision of Keynes’s contribution to the field. Attention is given to theories and concepts such as Say’s Law, the quantity theory of money, the liquidity trap, the permanent income hypothesis, 100% money, and the Phillips curve analysis. The chapters work to build a careful critique of Keynes’s economics and make the case that the classical macroeconomics of Smith, Say, Ricardo, Mill, and others could help resolve present-day policy disagreements and redefine macroeconomic priorities. This book provides essential reading for advanced students and scholars with an interest in the foundations of Keynes’s theories and current debates within macroeconomic policy.
