Essays on a Mature Economy: Britain After 1840
Essays on a Mature Economy
Debating markets
The text of “Debating Markets” is an edited transcript of a debate on the role of markets in a feminist vision of a fair and efficient economy, which took place originally on the internet “Femecon” list in the summer of 1994
The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie
Harding argues in an old leftist way modernized with feminism that an androcentric ideology is immanent in economics. Conventional economists disagree, but Harding and I know that they are wrong. They can be brought to our conclusion by detailed studies of the sociology and rhetoric of economic science. And, contrary to what Harding thinks, such studies need not have a left lean. The despised bourgeoisie is in fact the main instrument of androgyn…

Accounting as the master metaphor of economics
It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the Queen of France, then the Dauphiness, at Versailles. ... Little did I dream that I should have lived to see disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men. ... I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators, has succeeded; and the glo…

Minimal statism and metamodernism
Friedman misunderstands postmodernism—or, as it could better be called, metamodernism. Metamodernism is the common sense beyond the lunatic formulas of the Vienna Circle and conventional statistics. It has little to do with the anxieties of Continental intellectuals. It therefore is necessary for serious empirical work on the role of the state

The Prudent Peasant
The usual picture of the medieval peasantry is based on nineteenth-century scholarship, which has proven difficult to dislodge from educated minds. This article continues the revision of an important detail in the picture, the scattering of plots in open fields. Some recent work on the subject by Robert Allen and Gregory Clark is midly disputed, and new evidence is presented that risk avoidance is the key to understanding peasant behavior. The re…
The essential rhetoric of law, literature, and liberty
Three recent books—Richard Posner's Law and Literature, Stanley Fish's Doing What Comes Naturally, and James Boyd White's Justice as Translation— struggle over the relationship of law and literature. Fish and White defend the relevance of literature to law; Posner tries to kill the nascent law and literature movement by hugging it to death. Posner's literary criticism is belles‐lettristic, concerned chiefly with how "great" a work is. Fish's is s…
History, Differential Equations, and the Problem of Narration
The talk of engineers and the talk of historians connects in the way that metaphors connect with stories. Though both make use of both (because we cannot live otherwise in the world), engineers specialize in metaphors and historians in stories. In the abstract it is a matter of definitions. Take the essence of the metaphor to be comparison and the essence of the story to be time. (And let the definitions ride; they break down soon enough if they …

Reply to Peter Mueser
Reply to Munz
Munz has not grasped main point of The Rhetoric of Human Sciences, which is that intellectual historians need an art of argument.* According to Munz, rhetoric is what is left over when rational argument is finished, being merely the power to persuade when more rational methods fail. [W]e rely on rhetoric when there is no or little evidence for statement.... The heart of matter is that when statement can be shown to be true, no rhetoric is require…

Ancients and Moderns
The battle between narrative history and social scientific history, which has broken out again in the pages of the American Historical Review , is a new battle of ancients and moderns. Like many battles of the books, it is deeply foolish and tends to bring the reading of books into disrepute. It is the old battle of the sciences against art, poetry, and the humanities, refought in history as analysis against narrative, model against story, number…

The Enclosure of Open Fields
In 1700 much of the land of England was farmed under the ancient system of open fields. With its three great fields planted in a communally regulated rotation of crops, its common meadows and wastes, and its mixture of holdings in hundreds of strips less than acre each, this apparently inefficient system had characterized the agriculture of northern and eastern Europe for centuries. In England it had never been universal and had from an early dat…

The Achievements of the Cliometric School
The members of the Association must be sick to death of “The Achievements of the Cliometric School.” The health of a field, it is said, is inversely proportional to the percentage of essays on method, by which standard cliometrics itself was sick to death in childhood and is only just now recovering. The few essays on method appearing nowadays are usually commissioned, lack revolutionary fervor, and have become as predictable as sportswriting: ge…

Economic Maturity and Entrepreneurial Decline
Victorian Growth
It should be noted that the pattern, allowing for the differences in dates chosen for comparison, is similar to that in my original calculation and in Aldcroft's calculations. We are not disagreeing about the evidence but about its interpretation. The issue can be put as follows: if for purposes of description one wishes to distinguish two periods within each of which a single rate of growth in total productivity is supposed to obtain, what year …
