Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Political Economy, Vol. 2: The Hill and the Valley, a Tale Armstrong played the flute too; and it whiled away the time to hear him play airs that she was taught to sing when a child on her mother's knee. Then there were other sounds as agreeable as music - the clinking of the chain when her master was letting down his bucket into the well; and the creaking of the roller on the smooth grass, and the whetting of the scythe in the early morning. Now and then, too Margaret had to go to the next town for. Groceries and other things which were wanted, and then it was necessary that she should Speak and that people should speak to her; and this practice, though it came very seldom, was enough to prevent her growing dumb.

Download or read book Hard Times written by Charles Dickens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hard Times: And Other Stories Dickens established a weekly periodical, called Household Words, on the 30th of March, 1850. On the 1st of April, 1854, he began in it the publication Of the tale of Hard Times, which was continued in weekly instalments until its completion, in the number for the 12th of August. The cir culation of Household Words was doubled by the appear ance in its pages of this story. When published in a separate form, it was appropriately dedicated to Thomas Carlyle, who was Dickens's master in all matters relating to the dismal science of political economy. During the composition of Hard Times the author was evidently in an embittered state Of mind, in respect to social and political questions. He must have felt that he was, in some degree, warring against the demonstrated laws of the production and distribution of wealth; yet he also felt that he was putting into prominence some laws Of the human heart which he supposed political economists had studiously over looked or ignored. He wrote to Charles Knight that he had no design to damage the really useful truths of political econ omy, but that his story was directed against those who see figures and averages, and nothing else; who would take the average of cold in the Crimea during twelve months as a reason for clothing a soldier in nankeen on a night when he would be frozen to death in fur; and who would comfort the laborer in travelling twelve miles a day to and from his work, by telling him that the average distance of one inhabited place from another, on the whole area of England, is only four miles. This is, of course, a caricatured statement of what statisticians propose to prove by their figures and averages. Dickens would have been the first to laugh at such an economist and statistician as Michael Thomas Sadler, who mixed up figures of arithmetic and figures of rhetoric, tables Of population and gushing sentiments, in one Odd jumble of doubtful calculations and bombastic declamations 3 yet Sadler is only an extreme case Of an investigator, who turns aside from his special work to introduce considerations which, however important in them selves, have nothing to do with the business he has in hand. Dickens's mind was SO deficient in the power of generaliza tion, so inapt to recognize the operation Of inexorable law, that whatever offended his instinctive benevolent sentiments he was inclined to assail as untrue. Now there is no law the opera tion of which so frequently Shocks our benevolent sentiments as the law of gravitation; yet no philanthropist, however accus tomed he may be to subordinate scientific truth to amiable impulses, ever presumes to doubt the certain operation of that law. The great field for the contest between the head and the heart is the domain of political economy. The demonstrated laws of this science are Often particularly Offensive to many good men and good women, who wish well for their fellow creatures, and who are pained by the Obstacles which economic maxims present to their diffusive benevolence. The time will come when it will be as intellectually discreditable for an educated person to engage in a crusade against the established laws of political economy as in a crusade against the established laws of the physical universe; but the fact that men like Car lyle, Ruskin, and Dickens can write economic nonsense, with out losing intellectual caste, Shows that the science Of political economy, before its beneficent truths come to be generally admitted, must go through a long struggle with benevolent sophisms and benevolent passions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of American Economics: A Study in the History of Economic Ideas in the United States Prior to the Great Depression Since my arrival in this country in 1930 I have played with a desire to examine the evolution Of economic thought in the United States, but have met with outspoken discouragement on the part of my senior colleagues as well as of my younger ones. Most Of them denied the very existence of any genuine American economic thought. The inspiration, stimulation and assistance of my wife in fluenced me to finally launch this enterprise, but it is with a cer tain temerity that I have begun this hazardous undertaking. Yet the fascination of the work has compensated me generously for all my earlier fears. I did not find myself com'muning with ghosts, as I had been warned, for some of the tales Of departed writerswere alive, and I became enlightened - as I hope my readers will be also - concerning the spirit of American economics.

Book Synopsis Schools and Streams of Economic Thought (Classic Reprint) by : Edmund Whittaker
Download or read book Schools and Streams of Economic Thought (Classic Reprint) written by Edmund Whittaker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schools and Streams of Economic Thought For the most part, the writers whose works are studied are allowed to tell their own stories in short quotations from their works, when these are available in English and such a practice can be followed without disturbing the narrative or using too much space. Where quotations are made, references ordinarily are given to the editions used. Use has sometimes depended on convenience, but in most in stances the sources are available in the larger libraries. Where there are a number of editions of the same book and it seems appropriate, references are made to chapters and sections rather than to pages of particular editions. With one exception (in a papal encyclical), the King James version has been used for Bible quotations. The book has been prepared on the assumption that few of its readers are likely to want to check authorities which are unavailable to them except in foreign languages but that many may desire to do so when only English is involved. This may be an unscholarly view to take, but it is a realistic one. References are given accordingly. Names have been given in full when a writer is first mentioned in an important connection. It is unsatisfactory to be able only to refer to a person as this or that because one is unaware of what the initials represent. Where, as sometimes with French writers, there are too many given names for this practice to seem reasonable, one or more of these names are omitted, as may appear appropriate. British peers are given their correct titles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 by : Meredith L. McGill
Download or read book American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 written by Meredith L. McGill and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The antebellum period has long been identified with the belated emergence of a truly national literature. And yet, as Meredith L. McGill argues, a mass market for books in this period was built and sustained through what we would call rampant literary piracy: a national literature developed not despite but because of the systematic copying of foreign works. Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, McGill unfolds the legal arguments and political struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades. In this culture of reprinting, the circulation of print outstripped authorial and editorial control. McGill examines the workings of literary culture within this market, shifting her gaze from first and authorized editions to reprints and piracies, from the form of the book to the intersection of book and periodical publishing, and from a national literature to an internally divided and transatlantic literary marketplace. Through readings of the work of Dickens, Poe, and Hawthorne, McGill seeks both to analyze how changes in the conditions of publication influenced literary form and to measure what was lost as literary markets became centralized and literary culture became stratified in the early 1850s. American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 delineates a distinctive literary culture that was regional in articulation and transnational in scope, while questioning the grounds of the startlingly recent but nonetheless powerful equation of the national interest with the extension of authors' rights.
Book Synopsis The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy by : Pietra Rivoli

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for THE TRAVELS OF A T-SHIRT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY "Engrossing . . . (Rivoli) goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner . . . full of memorable characters and vivid scenes." —Time "An engaging and illuminating saga. . . . Rivoli follows her T-shirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale. . . . Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic." —The New York Times "Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it. Pietra Rivoli's The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is just such a page-turner." —CIO magazine "Succeeds admirably . . . T-shirts may not have changed the world, but their story is a useful account of how free trade and protectionism certainly have." —Financial Times "[A] fascinating exploration of the history, economics, and politics of world trade . . . The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is a thought-provoking yarn that exhibits the ugly, the bad, and the good of globalization, and points to the unintended positive consequences of the clash between proponents and opponents of free trade." —Star-Telegram (Fort Worth) "Part travelogue, part history, and part economics, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is ALL storytelling, and in the grand style. A must-read." —Peter J. Dougherty, Senior Economics Editor, Princeton University Press author of Who's Afraid of Adam Smith? "A readable and evenhanded treatment of the complexities of free trade . . . As Rivoli repeatedly makes clear, there is absolutely nothing free about free trade except the slogan." —San Francisco Chronicle
