Cry "Havoc!" And Let Slip the Dogs of War: McCarthyism, Korea, and Other Nightmares
The college students of the 1950s were characterized—and reproached—as "the silent generation." There was, to be sure, a certain kind of silence; but, as one who was teaching during those years either in California or New York, I remember it as mysterious, the quasi-silence of a simmering pot.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this …

Marxism for the Few, or, Let 'em Eat Theory
The years since the Second World War have unquestionably produced more people in the United States who see themselves as Marxists, more Marxist periodicals and books, more university and other classes taught by Marxists (in public and in "movement" schools), and more Marxists functioning in a broad range of community and other activist groups, than at any time in U.S. history, and all these by some multiple.This article can also be found at the M…

Stagflation and the Political Economy of Decadent Monopoly Capitalism
The years since about 1950 have been the most persistently and pervasively expansive in the economic history of capitalism. The expansion manifested itself in all areas of economic activity: in per capita real consumption, most notably in the leading countries and in durables; in all aspects of real investment—all forms of construction and equipment, all areas of productive capacity; in technological change at all levels and in all sectors—produc…

What must the university be
The contemporary American university has been in the making for half a century or so, and its present state has been pretty well set for at least two decades. But it is only in the past three or four years that we—students, faculty, administrators, citizens—have come to see it for what it is. The revelation on this score came to most of us as did our other revelations—about our foreign policy, our race relations, our entire educational system, ou…
Campus Disruptions and the Liberal-Left
As students get busted physically and by the law in increasingly brutal ways, and in rising numbers, the thirtyish and older "real" liberals and radicals, whom we will call the liberal-left, side with the student left on most of the issues. But the problem they see is that the student left may well bring on widespread repression, so much so as to end hopes even for reform. The student left knows this well, but to their elders their words might we…

The Economic Expansion of Lombardy, 1300–1500: A Study in Political Stimuli to Economic Change
Lombardy underwent an agricultural revolution (and a connected process of general economic growth) in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The basis for this transformation was a series of fundamental institutional changes. These latter—consisting most importantly of the transfer of control over the land into new hands—must in turn be attributed essentially to the policies of the Visconti and Sforza dukes who, through direct or indirect means,…

A Comparative Analysis of Economic Development in the American West and South
In 1930, the West-for present purposes, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado-had a level of per capita income payments that stood at 79 per cent of the national figure. In that same year, the figure for the South-Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas-was 51 per cent

Economic Stagnation in Europe in the Interwar Period
It would not seem to be stretching matters unduly to assert that widespread agreement could be found on the following related propositions: (1) that the social crises and upheavals in Europe between the two World Wars, and the wars themselves, were not aberrations but are, rather, susceptible of a systematic, coherent explanation; (2) that such an explanation, though it would rest on a myriad of social relationships and processes, would place eco…

The Economics of Slavery in the Ante Bellum South: A Comment
The White Collar Worker
The white collar worker, as C. Wright Mills puts it, is one who "manipulates people and symbols, rather than things." His numbers have expanded spectacularly in the twentieth century, not least in the United States. His influence must be taken into account in any assessment of the main drift of American society—particularly in an examination of the nature and potential of trade unionism."This article can also be found at the Monthly Review websit…
