  • Why Economic Growth Stimulates More Growth in Some Countries Rather than Others

    Cohn, Samuel Cohn et al.ARTICLESociology of Development2024

    Leontief multipliers are an important component of economic growth. However, input–output analysis is generally treated as a methodological tool for studying other questions in development. The size of multipliers themselves is of interest, as they determine how much nations benefit economically from the growth of base industries. Of the three types of multipliers—industrial supply purchases by firms, consumer goods purchases by workers, and grow…

  • Contre l’impôt

    Open AccessCohn, Samuel K CohnCHAPTER2023

    Cet article montre que les guerres d’Italie (1494-1559) ont provoqué une forte augmentation de la fréquence et de l’importance des contestations populaires, pourtant peu mises en avant par les historiens. Les levées fiscales imposées par les nouvelles armées d’occupation et les puissances monarchiques étrangères dans toute la péninsule italienne ont constitué un élément important de cette augmentation. Les raisons de la révolte, cependant, découl…

  • The Black Death and Consequences for Labor

    CohnARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2023Referências: 4

    From the perspective of the Black Death, the economic consequences for laborers in our unfolding pandemic, COVID-19, might come as a surprise. Instead of labor shortages benefiting workers, especially the unskilled, and narrowing the gap between rich and poor, our pandemic has sent economic inequality racing forward across the world with laborers’ health and material well-being plummeting. However, a closer examination of the Black Death suggests…

  • Plagues upon the Earth

    Open AccessCohn, Samuel CohnARTICLEThe English Historical Review2022

    This is a prodigious historical synthesis. Reaching back before the birth of Homo sapiens, it glides through pre-history to documentary history as late as our present struggles with COVID-19 and further pathogenic forces on the horizon. This history has not taken the usual path of concentrating on epidemics; rather, it integrates numerous endemic diseases with epidemics and spends more space on endemic killers, which have weighed more heavily on …

  • Coercive Capitalism

    Cohn, Samuel CohnARTICLESociology of Development2021

    Coercive capitalism is development based on the use of force to dispossess either land or labor. Early macrosociologists, both functionalist and conflict-oriented, believed that feudal systems were based on the use of force but that capitalism is based on coercion-free free markets. Wallerstein argued that coercive capitalism exists in the periphery of world systems. We argue that coercion is endemic to all capitalism. Much of the land on which c…

  • The Technological Basis of Egalitarian Economic Growth

    Cohn, Samuel Cohn et al.ARTICLESociology of Development2020

    This paper offers an alternative to the view that high technology promotes development and low technology inhibits development. We differentiate between monopoly technology and accessible technology. Monopoly technology produces growth by producing monopoly rents. As a byproduct, it also produces substantial inequality, both within nations and globally. Accessible technology produces growth without monopoly simply by increasing the volume of prod…

  • Social and institutional Reactions to the Influenza Pandemic of 1918-20

    CohnARTICLEMedicine Conflict & Survival2020

    This essay challenges generalizations since the late enlightenment about the effects of epidemics and pandemics on collective mentalities: that from antiquity to the present, epidemics, regardless of the disease, have sparked distrust, social violence, and the blaming of others. By contrast, the pandemic that killed the greatest numbers in world history-the Influenza of 1918-20 - was a pandemic of compassion. No one has yet to uncover this pandem…

  • The Dramaturgy of Epidemics

    Cohn, Samuel K CohnARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2020

    My essay focuses on Charles Rosenberg's provocative and enduring ideal type of epidemic drama in three acts, which he assembled from a vast knowledge of disease history that stretched from the end of the seventeenth century to his then-present pandemic, HIV/AIDS of the 1980s. Reaching back to the Plague of Athens, my essay elaborates on Rosenberg's dramaturgy by questioning whether blame, division, and collective violence were so universal or eve…

  • The topography of medieval popular protest

    CohnARTICLESocial History2019Citada por: 4Referências: 4

    Assumptions about the topography of popular revolt have been essential in constructing sociological and historical models that demarcate a ‘pre-modern’ from the ‘modern’ period. In Charles Tilly’s words, the ‘repertoires of collective action’ before the mid-nineteenth century were ‘parochial, particular, and bifurcated’, while afterwards, they became ‘cosmopolitan, autonomous, and modular’ (2008). By relying on primary sources across the Italian …

  • Épidémies, épizooties

    Open AccessCohn, Samuel CohnARTICLEThe English Historical Review2019

    This book, edited by François Clément, forms the second volume of edited essays on natural disasters organised at the universities of Nantes and Poitiers. The first focused on physical disasters (aléas physiques)—climate change, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods—while the present one investigates biological disasters. The twelve chapters by seventeen authors concentrate on antiquity and the Middle Ages, although several (most prominently, F…

  • The Process of Occupational Sex-Typing

    Open AccessCohnBOOKThe Process of Occupational…2018

    Samuel Cohn’s critical study of two Victorian British firms represents a radically new examination of women’s work. By contrasting the Post Office, which was the first employer to use female clerks instead of males, and the Great Western Railway, one of the last employers to make this change, Cohn identifies the organizational and economic limits to female employment. The Process of Occupational Sex-Typing challenges traditional accounts of cleri…

  • The Great Influenza

    Cohn, Jr Samuel K CohnBOOKEpidemics2018

    This chapter asks comparative questions: did other countries experience the same outpouring of volunteerism as the US in the Great Influenza? Did women man the front lines of charity and self-sacrifice? It begins with the Deep South, which diverged from the national picture in the US. Here, men and their clubs, not women, played the dominant role, especially in New Orleans—the pattern set by a half-century of yellow fever resistance. The chapter …

  • The Great Influenza

    Cohn, Jr Samuel K CohnBOOKEpidemics2018

    Concentrating on America, this chapter explores the immense outpouring of volunteerism, compassion, and self-sacrifice wrought by the Great Influenza as seen in the response of traditional charitable institutions such as churches and men’s groups. Women, however, constituted by far the most significant charitable force, distinguishing this pandemic from all previous ones. From the Vanderbilts and McAdoos to black nurses, women crossed barriers in…

  • Epidemics

    Cohn, Jr Samuel K Cohn et al.BOOKEpidemics2018

    Samuel K. Cohn, Jr. investigates thousands of descriptions of epidemics reaching back before the fifth-century-BCE Plague of Athens to the 2014 Ebola outbreak to challenge the dominant hypothesis that epidemics invariably provoke hatred, blaming of the 'other', and victimising bearers of epidemic diseases

  • Plague violence and abandonment from the Black Death to the early modern period

    Cohn, Samuel Cohn JrARTICLEAnnales de Démographie Historique2018

    La Peste Noire de 1347-1351 a été une si grande menace, que son ombre inquiétante aurait déterminé un ensemble de réactions sociales et psychologiques auxquelles seraient soumises toutes les populations confrontées aux épidémies de peste, non seulement celles du bas Moyen Âge, mais aussi toutes les autres, quels que soient le lieu ou l’époque. Cet article entend discuter cette vérité communément admise. En effet, non seulement ces répercussions i…

  • The Determinants of the Division of Labor between Men and Women in Paid Employment in the Global North and South

    Cohn, Samuel CohnARTICLESociology of Development2017

    This essay attempts to contribute to the study of gender and development by developing a systematic theory of the division of work between men and women in the global North and the global South. There is an extensive literature on women's work and development; this literature consists of rich case studies that do not attempt to identify general principles that apply to women's work as a whole. In formal employment settings, women are most likely …

  • Cholera revolts

    Cohn, Samuel Kline CohnARTICLESocial History2017Citada por: 4Referências: 2

    Few have studied cholera revolts comparatively, and certainly not over the vast terrain from Asiatic Russia to Quebec or across time from the first European cholera wave of the 1830s to the twentieth century. Scholars have instead concentrated on the first European cholera wave in the 1830s and have tended to explain cholera’s social violence within the political contexts of individual nations, despite these riots raging across vast differences i…

  • The State and Development

    Open AccessCohn, Samuel CohnOTHEREmerging Trends in the Social and…2015

    The state and development is a critical issue in speaking to contemporary debates about whether prosperity is best served by small or large government. The definition of foundational versus cutting‐edge research differs depending on whether the discipline is economics or sociology. There was an early agreement that government should be big for “big pushes” or “modernization.” Economics turned antistatist as a reaction to Soviet planned economies …
