The Appeal of WIP-ped Flesh: Jess Franco’s 99 Women (1968) at the Box Office
This research investigates in detail the surprisingly successful US box-office performance of Jess Franco’s first women-in-prison (WIP) production, 99 Women (1968), which for one week in May 1969 had topped the Variety Top-50 box office chart. It documents the unusual production history of this Franco film, the role of UK producer Harry Alan Towers in enabling Franco’s pipeline of productions at the end of the 1960s, 99 Women’s international dist…
The Vampire Lovers and Hammer's Post-1970 Production Strategy
This article firstly examines the artistic and commercial merits of The Vampire Lovers, which was adapted from the Sheridan Le Fanu novella Carmilla. The production of the film was subcontracted by James Carreras at Hammer to Fantale Films, a company established by Harry Fine, Michael Style and Tudor Gates. The article then proceeds by examining various different and competing artistic judgements that have been made about the film, and also the c…

Syndicate at Bray: Hammer, Seven Arts, and The Big Fat Money Machine
This article investigates an alleged link between US organized crime and the UK’s Hammer Film Productions Ltd that is said to have operated via Meyer Lansky (the notorious Syndicate casino lynchpin) and Eliot Hyman, the latter being head of Seven Arts Productions Ltd, a US film production company. It does so by first examining the significant business link between Hammer and Seven Arts, which encompassed many Hammer film productions in the late 1…
On the Origin of Species
Marx
Karl Marx has been portrayed in equal measure both as a political prophet who foresaw the end of capitalist exploitation, and as a populist Anti- Christ whose totalitarian legacy has cost millions of lives worldwide. This new biography looks beyond these caricatures in order to understand more about the real Karl Marx; about his everyday life and personal circumstances as well as his political ideology. The book tells the life story of a man of i…
‘Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy’
This chapter examines in detail the draft manuscript of Karl Marx’s economics studies that was written in 1857–8, with regard to both aspects of the content of this work and the intellectual impetus behind it, before exploring his first published book on political economy. The draft manuscript, referred to as the Grundrisse, was divided into three basic parts: an introduction written in September 1857, a chapter on money written in October 1857, …
Super Fly (1972), Coffy (1973) and The Mack (1973): Under- and Over-Estimating Blaxploitation Box Office
This article examines in detail the box-office performances of three well-known and successful Blaxploitation films from the early 1970s: Super Fly (1972), Coffy (1973) and The Mack (1973). It does so in order both to re-evaluate the extent of their commercial success as individual films in relation to widely-quoted data taken from Variety that is repeated in the existing literature, and also as a means of assisting in judging the size of the ove…

Hierarchies of attraction: Evaluating the popularity and quantity of US pornography studios
This article attempts to evaluate both the popularity and the quantity of currently existing US pornography production studios through the use of DVD sales ranking data from two separate websites (adultdvdempire and cduniverse) and other measures. The article also considers how DVD pornography employs product branding techniques both in general terms and by considering a specific example of one studio in detail: Wicked Pictures, judged here to be…

The most profitable film ever made’: Deep Throat (1972), organized crime, and the $600 million gross
This article provides a detailed analysis of the box-office performance of the controversial hardcore pornographic feature film Deep Throat (1972), the reported very high total revenue of which ($600 million) has become a topic of debate in wider media forums. The article provides a breakdown of both the film’s ongoing box-office earnings in the USA with a new data set and its accumulated total revenue across the world, in comparison with previou…
Keynes and the Psychology of Economic Behavior: From Stout and Sully toThe General Theory
This article examines the potential influence of the work of two psychologists-G. F. Stout and James Sully-on J. M. Keynes's economic theory. It does so by providing an analysis of aspects of the notes that Keynes made while studying for the Civil Service entrance examination in psychology in 1905-6, and how they related to the source materials on which they were based. It argues that Keynes did "absorb" some of the ideas of these two psychologis…

Cet article traite du contenu et du contexte du Mémorandum sur la réforme tarifaire en Russie de M. Reutern qui est publié à la suite dans ce même numéro. Nous traitons d’abord des visées du Mémorandum en termes théoriques et politiques puis nous évaluons son impact sur l’économie russe. Nous comparons ensuite l’approche de Reutern à celles de figures importantes dans l’histoire de la politique tarifaire douanière russe comme D.I. Mendeleïev et M…

A long wave goodbye: Kondrat'ev and the Conjuncture institute, 1920–28
IF THERE IS ONE RUSSIAN ECONOMIST active during the period of the Soviet Union's existence who is universally known to all Western economists today, that person is Nikolai Dmitrievich Kondrat'ev.2 His name is forever linked to the idea of long waves in capitalist economic development, an idea which has since been expounded by Marxist and non-Marxist economists such as Ernest Mandel and Joseph Schumpeter, and which found new impetus during the wor…

Economic Observation and Measurement in Russia Before 1917: Surveying Typicalities and Sampling Totalities
This article provides a case study of the development of observational methodology and techniques in a non-Western country. It does so by first considering various institutions of observation that existed in Russia across the nineteenth century, such as government statistical departments, the Imperial Free Economic Society, and the zemstvo. This is then followed by an analysis of debates that occurred over observational methodology between variou…
Understanding stalinism—the ‘Orwellian discrepancy’ and the ‘rational choice dictator’
This discussion article examines the logical bases of the arguments often encountered in the literature that compares Soviet and Nazi totalitarianism. It analyses the ‘Orwellian discrepancy’ between Marxist ideals and Soviet reality, the comparative differences in numbers of people that were murdered by the Stalin and Hitler regimes, and the distinction between ‘murder’ and ‘execution’ that is sometimes applied to the actions of the two tyrants. …
"Tugan-Baranovsky, the Methodology of Political Economy, and the" Russian Historical School
Marxist economists are not always renowned for their methodological subtlety, sometimes adhering to a form of simplistic instrumentalism— whatever serves the interests of “the working class” is by definition correct and so forth. However, one Russian/Ukrainian economist who is usually thought of as being in some sense a Marxist—Mikhail Ivanovich Tugan-Baranovsky (1865–1919)—showed considerable concern with the methodology of political economy in …
Calling up the Reserves: Keynes, Tugan-Baranovsky and Russian War Finance
JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES (1883-1946) HAS BEEN KNOWN in popular consciousness as the economist who 'rescued' capitalism from the Great Depression of the 1930s-and possibly a fate far worse than this-by proposing that governments should demandmanage their way out of economic trouble.3 The theoretical rationale for this was that a less-than-full employment equilibrium existed which was not automatically self-correcting, and that only government spending …
Trading cycles for change: S. A. Pervushin as an economist of the business cycle
IT IS SOMETIMES THE CASE that the passage of time affects the reputation of economists either unfavourably or favourably; that is, some economists are eclipsed from fame soon after their major works have been published amid great fanfare, while others achieve classic status only after many years of neglect. The former fate appears to have befallen a Russian economist of the business cycle in the 1920s, S. A. Pervushin.1 M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky is …

Keynes and the Non-neutrality of Russian War Finance during World War One
This article examines the particular methods of war finance that were used by Russia during World War One in relation to the total cost of the war, and evaluates them against a theoretical ideal that was outlined by the Cambridge economist J. M. Keynes. It then asks whether there were any consequences of two particular chosen means of financing the war—the issue of large amounts of paper currency and short-term treasury bills—for maintaining Russ…

The People’s Commissariat of Supply and The People’s Commissariat of Internal Trade
Internal trade and the food industry were obviously important elements of the Soviet economy throughout the 1930s and beyond.1 However, Soviet attitudes towards trade as a concept in the 1930s were ambiguous. While realising that consumer goods had somehow to be transferred from producer to consumer, the declared aim of constructing socialism meant that concepts prevalent under capitalism were suspect: 'trade' was such a concept and even the word…

New data on pre-production financing, budgetary outlays, box-office performances and financial receipts are presented and…
