The Female Martyr and the Politics of Death
This essay examines female martyr narratives from two different traditions and historical periods to show a pattern between gender, politics, and martyrdom. In the stories of Vibia Perpetua and Wafa Idris, martyrdom gives women access to political participation. The narratives crafted about these women and their deaths reflect ambivalence about this participation, for they tend to reinforce strict gender roles for women. An examination of female …
Cambridge Economics, Heterodoxy and Ontology
Over the past two decades the Cambridge economist Tony Lawson has been a leading advocate for an ontological turn in economics, as well as a main contributor to the specific methodological framework sometimes systematised as critical realism. On a sunny afternoon on 17 June 2000, Lawson and I talked at length in his Cambridge garden about his own intellectual history, his interconnecting relationships with the Cambridge Economics Faculty, his vie…
J.K. Galbraith and the Nature of Modern Money
This paper considers John Kenneth Galbraith's views on the nature of money and a monetary economy. Although recognised as a lifelong and prominent Keynesian, to many, Galbraith's principal theoretical contributions appear less concerned with the detail of financial sectors or the nature of money per se than other leading Post Keynesians. However, careful study suggests that Galbraith, like many Post Keynesians, recognised the salience of the fina…

Prolegomena to a Post Keynesian health economics
Post Keynesian economics has no specific association with, or has made no specific contribution to, Health economics or healthcare policy. In one sense this is perhaps unsurprising. Post Keynesian economics is for many a distinct approach to macroeconomics. Nevertheless, it has always invoked a strong microeconomic supply-side analysis and thus the purpose of this paper is to make some prefatory remarks as to the types of contributions Post Keyne…
The Economic Contributions of John Kenneth Galbraith
Galbraith's principal theoretical contribution is foreshadowed in American capitalism and unfolds more clearly into view in his trilogy The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State and Economics and the Public Purpose. His thesis is that the economic ideas that once explained a world of poverty have not adjusted to a world of affluence dominated by the modern corporation. His main themes are the concentration of economic power in the large corp…
Fundamental Uncertainty and the Firm in the Long Run
Oliver Williamson claims that bounded rationality and 'behavioural uncertainty' are principal factors influencing market-based transaction costs. Post Keynesian economists typically distinguish between ergodic and non-ergodic processes with the latter providing a technical definition of 'fundamental uncertainty'. Often, the salience of this fundamental uncertainty has been ignored or conflated with bounded rationality and behavioural uncertainty.…
On the Coherence of Post‐Keynesian Economics
This paper argues that the thesis advanced by Walters and Young on the lack of coherence of post-Keynesian economics itself lacks coherence and involves considerable misunderstanding and misinterpretation of post-Keynesian economics. We identify the central theme of post-Keynesian economics as the idea that in a monetary production economy the level of economic activity is set by effective demand, which in general will involve unemployment. Subse…

The Soviet and the Savage [and Comments and Replies]
Social anthropology, in the West and in Russia, sprang in part from an interest in the evolution of mankind: "primitive" society was relevant as a kind of surrogate time-machine, as evidence about the earlier "stages" in the development of human society. But the British and Russian traditions went in markedly different directions in the 20th century. Under the impact of the Malinowskian revolution, social anthropology in Britain acquired a marked…
Under Four Flags
The paper attempts to review the widespread changes occurring in Eskimo societies since World War II, and especially to bring together an inventory of trends in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and Chukotka (Siberia) in the areas of community structure, social and political organization, and economic adaptation. Such an integrative inventory is needed in view of the sustained power of the stereotyped image of "the Eskimos" in anthropological literature…

A Biofunctional Theory of Religion [and Comments and Reply]
Religion answers the basic question: What are the realities of the environment in which human existence is to be maintained? "Mythic" or "religious" thinking is a mode of understanding, a clarification of the environment. It is an explanatory apparatus which has evolved as a consequence of the evolution of the associational areas and their interconnections in the cortex of the human brain. Religious experience leads to a picture of the environmen…

Religion as An Instrument of Culture Change
The Russian Old Believer and sectarian movement, as it appears in history, can be thought of, in anthropological terms, as a nativistic movement: that is, a movement of resistance to outside (in this case Western) cultural influence, and a reaffirmation and renewal of the native culture. In this sense, the movement comprised Old Believers, with or without priests, and an assemblage of sects of indigenous origin-Dukhobors, Subbotniki, Molokans, Sk…

Some Reflections on Ways of Looking at Primitive Religion, in Reply to S. A. Tokarev
I must begin by observing that I owe Tokarev an apology, on two counts. First, as to the passage which I quoted from the concluding chapter of Religiia istorii narodov mira. (1) While I would deny that this passage was taken out of context, I should not have described it as being on a village-atheist level. The point is that among Western scholars, it is not customary to take sides openly on a moral issue when speaking in the scientific context. …
