Darwinism and economics
That Old Treasure-House of Constructive Suggestion
Marjorie (one of the two main characters in the novel) considered the Movements about her. She surveyed the accessible aspects of socialism, but that old treasure-house of constructive suggestion had an effect like a rich chateau which had been stormed and looted by a mob. For a time the proposition that 'we are all Socialists nowadays' had prevailed. The blackened and discredited frame remained, the contents were scattered
What Happens when Science Goes Bad. The Corruption of Science and the Origin of Aids A Study in Spontaneous Generation by Louis Pascal with an Introduction by Brian Martin, (University of Wollongong, …
The Light on the Hill
Originally published in 1992 to commemorate the centenary of Australia's oldest political party, this study contains an additional chapter which covers the two Paul Keating challenges and the political reversals of 1991 and 1992 (ending with the Wills by-election defeat)
Education and training
This paper has sought to trace the kinds of influence that have shaped our understanding of the terms ‘education’ and ‘training’. It has argued that while one could clearly differentiate between these terms during an era when Taylorist notions tended to dominate the work situation, it is no longer appropriate to do so; so that when writers currently refer to ‘training’—especially in connection with recent changes in industrial awards which incorp…

Tom Mann, R. S. Ross and Evolutionary Socialism in Broken Hill, 1902-1912
'Social Darwinism' generally takes up some space in books on late nineteenth and early twentieth century European and American (but little, to date, on Australian) social and intellectual history.l These discussions usually look at certain well known late Victorians (Spencer, Kidd, etc.)2 who are remembered for their evolutionary arguments in favour of a competitive laissez faire type of social organisation. A society so organised, it was claimed…
Tom Mann on Technological Change, Unemployment, Education and Leisure
Technological change and employment effects are not new phenomena. This paper examines some responses to technological innovation in the work situation around the turn of the century, a period of rapid and unprecedented scientific and technological development. The views of Tom Mann, an articulate British trade unionist and labour leader, on a number of subjects relating to these developments are compared with some recent writing, and are found t…
Science, Society and Politics in Late Nineteenth-Century England
The need to complement studies of Mechanics' Institutes which are limited to the first half of the nineteenth century with studies of a later period is suggested by showing that Institutes in the north of England, where they were most influential among working-class people, were still very active in the last decades of the century. An analysis of data concerning enrolments in Science and Art classes in Yorkshire Mechanics' Institutes follows, whi…
