Robert Torrens' Letter to Thomas Tooke(1840)
No full textP(論文)Robert Torrens, as the author of Letter to Melbourne(1837) which included the first printed proposal of separation of the Bank of England into two departments and Letter to Thomas Tooke(1840), has emerged asone of main figures of the Currency School in 19 th century Britain. But there was a theoretically big difference between Torrens and Overstone, the leader of the school, in definition of money. Torrens thought deposits 'perform the functions of money just as effectually as the coin and bank notes actually in circulation'(Letter to Merbourne). Overstone was different at this point from Torrens and was rather the same with Tooke in distinguish them. In 1837-1840 Torrens intended to be in Overstone's group and make the Currency School with him but Overstone could not accept Torrens as a member of his group because of the difference in the theory of money.departmental bulletin pape

'Because even the placement of a comma might be important': Expertise, filtered embodiment and social capital in online sexual health promotion
No full textThe Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is a leading UK HIV and sexual health organization, and community outreach and support remain a key tenet of the charity’s philosophy. Outreach work includes campaign drives in bars, clubs and saunas, peer-led workshops, support groups, condom distribution in community venues and one-to-one intervention programmes to help raise HIV/AIDS awareness. But what happens to community activism and outreach when the community one seeks to engage moves online? In this article, we report on a study capturing the experiences of workers engaged in THT’s digital outreach service, Netreach. Using ethnographic and other qualitative methods, we identify the shifting nature of health promotion outreach work and the changes in expert–client relationship that occur when community outreach takes place on digital platforms. We identify how issues of (dis)embodiment, expertise and cultural capital play a role in determining the success – or failure – of online outreach work

The Monetary Thought of Thomas Tooke
No full textThe leading theorist of the Banking School and author of the monumental six volume History of Prices(1838-1857) and the brilliant pamphlet, An Inquiry into the Currency Principle (1844), Thomas Tooke (1774-1858) is one of the most prominent figures in nineteenth century monetary thought. This paper aims to expound the central features of Tooke's monetary analysis. The paper first examines his early pre-banking school views on monetary questions which led him to reject the classical quantity theory. It then examines Tooke's banking school principles on the relation between money, interest and the price level. By way of conclusion, the logical consistency of Tooke's monetary thought within the theoretical framework of classical economics is examined critically in order to evaluate its relevance to contemporary monetary economics

The Account of Crimea and the Crimean Khanate Produced by William Tooke in 1785
No full textResearch objective: This paper analyses a little-known source, the account of British traveller William Tooke, describing his journey though Russia in 1785, which supplies information on the Crimea and the Crimean Khanate.
Research materials: This paper addresses Tooke’s letters to the editor of the London-based Gentleman’s Magazine – a source previously not used by Russian scholarship. This was the first publication which informed a British audience about the Crimea after its first joining to Russia.
Research novelty and results: This paper reveals that Tooke received his information on the Crimea primarily from the account of the employee of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vasilii Zuev, who visited it in 1782. The British author then added to it the data excerpted from the work by Swedish Johann Thunmann, and also his own information gathered from Russian sources. Tooke’s letters allow one to understand the beginnings of the research investigation of the Crimea, the European intellectuals’ ways of understanding the region’s economic potential and approaches to its development, their approaches to sources, the stereotypes burdening their understanding of the area and its culture, and the information on the distant northern Black Sea area obtained by European society in the period in question. Tooke’s work is a good example of the transfer of ideas between Russia and Western Europe, when the Crimea was not only the subject of learning but also a kind of “mirror” which allowed those who researched it to understand their own culture in a deeper way
Peculiar places and legitimate chiefs?: an exploration of the role of traditional authorities in the titled locality of kwaMeyi village, Umzimkhulu district, South Africa
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.There is little doubt that traditional leaders continue to make an indelible mark on the practice of politics across the continent of Africa. In democratising South Africa, the relevance of this institution is debated extensively. In the main, traditional leaders are described as the embodiment of patriarchy, comprised of unelected male representatives who rule with "clenched fist" on an unwilling populous (Mamdani, 1996:23). It is argued that traditional authorities "...can only secure legitimacy by drawing its sustenance from the modern state, working as a complement to democratic local government" (Southall and Kropiwnicki, 2003:76). In light of these assertions, this thesis answers two questions: do traditional leaders have a role to play in democratising South Africa
