The Empire and 'Human Interest: Popular Empire Films, the Colonial Villain, and the British Documentary Movement 1926-39
This article examines representations of colonial subjects within two forms of ‘empire films’ of the 1930s: popular ‘entertainment’ empire films widely consumed by audiences in Britain and the colonies, and documentary films produced by the Empire Marketing Board (EMB) and the General Post Office (GPO) film units. These two types of film at first glance seem markedly different, with the one featuring the sensational colonial villain, and the othe…
Amateur Film: Meaning and Practice, 1927-77. By Heather Norris Nicholson
What to do with the amateur film? Amateur films, sometimes referred to as ‘home movies’ or ‘small gauge cinema’, continue to pour into media archives around the country, brought in by depositors no longer able to store or even view their contents but reluctant to consign them to the dustbin. These collections have only recently attracted scholars in film studies and, to a lesser extent, historians. The reluctance of historians to engage with amat…
The “Efficient” Public Administrator: Pareto and a Well‐Rounded Approach to Public Administration
The New Public Management movement was only the latest demand that public organizations promote efficiency by adopting business methods. There again followed reactions from those arguing that other values, such as equity, citizen participation, and democracy, are as important as efficiency. This article suggests that an economic rather than business perspective on efficiency may usefully contribute to the scholarly conversation. It also suggests …
The Political Instability of Reciprocal Trade and the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom
The overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 offers an illuminating case study of the political economy of preferential trading relationships between large and small countries. The limited-term reciprocity treaty of 1876 between Hawaii and the United States generated problematic strategic dynamics, as the normal operation of the treaty gradually worsened Hawaii’s bargaining position. This allowed the United States to extract better terms when t…

Financial Integration in Antebellum America: Strengthening Bodenhorn's Results
In a recent article in this J ournal , Howard Bodenhorn made a remarkable suggestion: “Antebellum financial markets may have outperformed those of the post–Civil War period.” According to Bodenhorn, antebellum capital markets displayed notable integration, as indicated by movements in short-term (60–day) interest rate data for important commercial centers east of the Mississippi. When considered in light of Lance Davis's work, suggesting poor int…
Original Intent and the Sherman Antitrust Act: A Re-examination of the Consumer-Welfare Hypothesis
An important tenet of the Chicago School of antitrust asserts that the Sherman Act's framers sought to foster consumer welfare. This article challenges that interpretation by re-examining the legislative history. That history suggests that a consumer-welfare standard did not survive the legislative process and that, if anything, Congress focused on the behavior of producers
New Jersey Corporate Chartermongering, 1875–1929
New Jersey played a dominant role in the merger wave at the turn of the century. The state facilitated the rise of large firms by liberalizing its corporation law in exchange for incorporation fees and franchise taxes. This article suggests that chartermongering emerged from the U.S. federal political system and the economic structure of the state. Delaware became the preferred state of incorporation as New Jersey's economic structure changed
