Policy Makers on Policy The Mais Lectures

Monetary policy is still one of the most contested areas of modern economics and since the original publication of Policy Makers on Policy much has changed. This new edition collects contributions from leading policy makers and practitioners to reflect on the aims and objectives of monetary policy and on what it can achieve combining the old chapters from Gordon Brown Tony Blair Kenneth Clarke Geoffrey Howe Nigel Lawson and others with new perspectives from Mervyn King Jean-Claude Trichet Ernst Welteke Otmar Issing and Alastair Darling. A new far-reaching introduction from the editors Forrest Capie and Geoffrey Wood puts these important contributions to the discussion of economic policy in the new context. They look at what lessons can be learnt from the earlier discussions what anticipations of present difficulties can be found in them and what in other words the comparatively recent past teaches us about how to deal with the turbulent present. The second edition of Policy Makers on Policy brings together otherwise inaccessible commentaries and reflections on policy by those involved in making it along with a commentary on and context for their remarks. Thus the book will be of great interest and use to students of economics and politics and indeed anyone with an interest in current economic developments and their roots in the past. | Policy Makers on Policy The Mais Lectures

We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

Charles A. Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution was a work of such powerful persuasiveness as to alter the course of American historiography. No historian who followed in studying the making of the Constitution was entirely free from Beard's radical interpretation of the document as serving the economic interests of the Framers as members of the propertied class. Forrest McDonald's We the People was the first major challenge to Beard's thesis. This superbly researched and documented volume restored the Constitution as the work of principled and prudential men. It did much to invalidate the crude economic determinism that had become endemic in the writing of American history. We the People fills in the details that Beard had overlooked in his fragmentary book. MacDonald's work is based on an exhaustive comparative examination of the economic biographies of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention and the 1 750 members of the state ratifying conventions. His conclusion is that on the basis of evidence Beard's economic interpretation does not hold. McDonald demonstrates conclusively that the interplay of conditioning or determining factors at work in the making of the Constitution was extremely complex and cannot be rendered intelligible in terms of any single system of interpretation. McDonald's classic work while never denying economic motivation as a factor also demonstrates how the rich cultural and political mosaic of the colonies was an independent and dominant factor in the decision making that led to the first new nation. In its pluralistic approach to economic factors and analytic richness We the People is both a major work of American history and a significant document in the history of ideas. It continues to be an essential volume for historians political scientists economists and American studies specialists. | We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

Perspectives on the History of Higher Education Volume 26 2007

This volume of Perspectives opens with two contrasting perspectives on the purpose of higher education at the dawning of the university age-perspectives that continue to define the debate today. First A. J. Angulo recreates the controversy surrounding the founding and early years of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Whether presented as an alternative to or a repudiation of the prevailing classical liberal education MIT was rejected as inherently inferior by college defenders. Second is George Levesque's penetrating reappraisal of Yale president Noah Porter (1870-1886). Known almost solely for his role as a college defender Porter is revealed as a vigorous scholar who became fixated with preserving the strengths of Yale College. As these matters were vigorously debated during these years Porter's position was superseded by more powerful forces. Considering the cliches about liberal domination of higher education it is seldom appreciated that the conservative movement has had a presence on campus throughout the postwar era. Jennifer de Forrest uses the reorganization of several conservative foundations to offer a critical appraisal of their impact. Known as the four sisters the Bradley Foundation the Scaife Foundations the Smith Richardson Foundation and the Olin Foundation have been sharply focused on winning student support by funding conservative scholars and networking organizations as well as student groups and newspapers. The tempestuous state of academic publishing is made more vivid by the clash of colorful characters. At the dawn of modern academic publishing the Educational Review published by Columbia's Nicholas Murray Butler was the foremost journal in its field. Paul McInerny interweaves the history of this journal with the educational issues of the late nineteenth century and the remarkable career of Columbia's longtime president. An additional actor is James McKeen Cattell a noted psychologist and prolific academic publisher. As a Columbia professor Cattell was also a thorn in the side of President Butler. In 1917 Butler fired Cattell for criticizing the war effort an egregious breach of academic freedom even for those early times. Events took an ironic turn however when Cattell later acquired Butler's former Review. | Perspectives on the History of Higher Education Volume 26 2007

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

This seventh edition of Philosophic Classics Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). New to this seventh edition: Changes in translations: New translations of Plato’s Apology and Phaedo and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Politics from the acclaimed Focus Philosophical Library Series. New translations of Plato’s Euthyphro and Crito. New translations of Epicurus’s Letter to Herodotus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines. New translation of the Parmenides fragments. Additional material: Gorgias’s model oration Encomium on Helen which gives a defense of Helen of Troy. A selection from Plato’s Gorgias on nature versus convention or law . Additional material from the opening of Plato’s Symposium to contextualize the dialogue. Additional material from Plato’s Republic (Book IX) on the tri-partite soul. Additional material from Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV 1-4 7) on the nature of being and the so-called three rules of thought. A brief selection from Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus giving a sense of the person. Updated and reorganized bibliographies. To allow for all these changes a section of Book V from Plato’s Republic has been dropped. Those who use this first volume in a one-term course in ancient philosophy will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. But this embarrassment of riches gives teachers some choice and for those who offer the same course year after year an opportunity to change the menu. | Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I
