Ricardo versus Thornton on the appropriate monetary response to supply shocks
No full textDavid Ricardo (1772-1823) recommended countering supply shocks with monetary contraction. Henry Thornton (1760-1815) advised a constant-money response. Their views hinged (1) on the neutrality or non-neutrality of money-stock changes on real output and employment and (2) on the costs of inflation. These same considerations influence Federal Reserve policy in response to oil shocks today.Economists ; Monetary theory
Un cappuccino bello schiumoso: l’uso di BELLO come intensificatore di aggettivi in italiano
No full textThe paper examines the grammaticalization process of the Italian adjective bello ‘beautiful’, nowadays used also as an adjective intensifier (specifically, a booster), on the basis of both diachronic and synchronic corpora of Italian. The phenomenon is registered by dictionaries of Italian but not well described in grammars.
This “adverbial” usage of bello, certainly attested at the beginning of the 16th century, and possibly earlier, could have developed from its usage as focus modifier before nouns, or from its usage in coordination with another adjective, or (less likely) from contexts in which it precedes colore ‘color’ or color terms.
Bridging contexts (Heine 2002) are cases in which bello precedes nouns that denote entities whose abundance is considered positive (e.g., bel guadagno ‘lit. beautiful income’ > ‘high income’), or adjectives that denote qualities whose high degree is considered positive (bello grosso ‘lit. beautiful big’ > ‘very big’).
Grammaticalization of bello as an intensifier seems to have reached Heine’s (2002) third stage: in contemporary Italian, a requirement that the quality to which the Intensivandum refers is positively evaluated by the speaker does not hold any more. However, bello has not lost its original meaning and, even when it is used as an intensifier, agrees in gender and number with the head noun modified by the Intensivandum, unlike adverbs

Henry Gerard Thornton, 22 January 1892 - 6 February 1977
No full textHenry Gerard T hornton was born in London in 1892, the elder son of Frank Hugh Thornton, J. P., of Kingsthorpe Hall, Northampton. His father, who was a breeder of shorthorn cattle, exporting prize bulls to Argentina, came from a long line of Northamptonshire landowners which had received an influx of exotic blood in the eighteenth century when an heiress daughter had married a Dutch Huguenot merchant from Smyrna. In more senses than one the father was an enlightened country gentleman, for not only was he instrumental in establishing the first electric light company in the county, but he was also much concerned with rural health and welfare and infant mortality, and introduced hygienic methods for milk production. This interest was no doubt much deepened by the death of his wife Evelyn (née Burchell) in childbirth when Henry was 9 years old.
