Orville Lothrop Freeman -- Addresses, Statements, Etc., 1967
No full textRemarks by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman to Farmer Cooperative Service Symposium on Non-Farmer Business: Problems for Farmer Cooperatives, University of Maryland, College Park, 6:30 p.m. (EDT), May 8, 1967: I want no one to misunderstand me when I speak of family farming. I'm not talking about subsistence farming. I'm not talking about retirement farming. I am talking about [the] farm — where the family provides most of the labor around the place; — where the family makes the major management decisions; — where the family gets most of its income from producing commodities for commercial markets; — where modern scientific and technological practices are efficiently applied; — where the family, in doing so, earns an income that is adequate — by city standards — to compensate for its labor, management, and investment. This is the kind of farming — family farming — whose continued success I ask you co-op leaders to assure

The limits of Ricardian value: law, contingency and motion in economics
No full textThis paper discusses the relation between law and contingency in the formation of value. It begins from a much-ignored assertion of Marx, repeated throughout his works, that the equality of supply and demand is contingent and their non-equality constitutes their law. This highly complex and original idea leads us to the idea of capitalism, and a market, as an entity which perpetuates itself by failing to perpetuate itself: it is the fact that supply diverges from demand which causes the system to continue, not the fact that supply equals demand, which is only the case as a statistical average and never exactly holds. This fundamental and unrecognised difference between Marx’s approach and that of the classicals also distinguishes Marx from most modern economics, which has focussed on equilibrium as the de facto defining principle from which value may be deduced. The problem is exactly the opposite: it is to define a conception of value which does not require equilibrium and makes no presupposition that supply equals demand, that goods are sold, that profits equalise, or that any of the ‘lawlike’ properties of an ideal market actually hold. The ‘lawlike’ properties of a market must then be deduced as an outcome of the dynamic, that is temporal, behaviour of the market, expressed in terms of the interaction between value so defined and use value. In order that such a concept of value may have universal applicability, price has to be reformulated as a form of value, and money theorised on this foundation. This article, presented to the EEA mini-conference on value in 1999, sets out the general principles involved.Crisis; inequality; market failure; TSSI; Temporalism; Marx; Value; Marshall; Walras; equilibrium; non-equilibrium; history of thought; Keynes; Austrian Economics; Post-Keynesian economics; RicardoCrisis, inequality, market failure, TSSI, Temporalism, Marx, Value, Marshall, Walras, equilibrium, non-equilibrium, history of thought, Keynes, Austrian Economics, Post-Keynesian economics, Ricardo
Who Escapes? The Relation of Church-Going & Other Background Factors to the Socio-Economic Performance of Blk. Male Yths. from Inner-City Pvrty Tracts
No full textUsing data from the NBER survey of Inner City youth and the National longitudinal survey of young men this paper examines the effect of church-going and other aspects of the background of youth their allocation of time, socially deviant behavior, and labor force behavior. 1)Church-going is associated with substantial differences in the behavior of youths, and thus in their chances to 'escape' from innercity poverty. It affects allocation of time, school-going, work activity, and the frequency of socially deviant activity.2)The diverse background factors examined in this study have different effects on various outcomes. Their differential effects suggest true causal impacts, with for example, the proportion of a youth's family working having positive effects on his labor market activity but not on other activities. 3) In addition to church going, the background factors that most influence'who escapes' are whether other members of the family work and whether the family is on welfare.4)The allocation of time and activities by youth is significantly influenced by market opportunities (or perceptions thereof). Those youths who believe it is easy to find a job are more likely to engage in socially productive activities than others. Youths who see many opportunities to make money illegally are less likely to engage in socially productive activities than other youths.
