"Maastricht 2042 and the Fate of Europe: Toward Convergence and Full Employment"
No full textUnemployment in the European Union (EU) is a serious problem that threatens to disrupt the integration of accession countries, the character of individual countries, and the continued existence of the EU. According to Senior Scholar James K. Galbraith, European integration poses a huge conundrum for European employment because the conventional theory explaining unemployment in EuropeÐlabor market rigiditiesÐis wrong. The application of this policy will not cure European unemployment, but it could destroy the economic promise of the EU for its poorer regions and the accession countries.
The Duchess of Suffolk
No full textWith the inaugural edition of the Early Modern Drama Texts series, Richard Dutton and Steven K. Galbraith illuminate the only surviving work of playwright and actor Thomas Drue. First performed by the Palsgrave’s Men at the Fortune Theater in 1624, The Duchess of Suffolk dramatizes the exile of Protestant noblewoman Katherine Willoughby (1519–80) during the reign of Catholic Queen Mary I (1516–58). Drawing from popular accounts in works by John Foxe and Thomas Deloney, Drue created a narrative of exaggerated peril, as the Duchess and her companions are chased across the continent. The embellished history evokes many iconic figures of the Reformation, from the celebrated Oxford Martyrs Hugh Latimer, Thomas Cranmer, and Nicholas Ridley to Bishop Edmund Bonner, whose infamous reputation had earned him the soubriqet “bloody Bonner.” A tragicomic history, The Duchess of Suffolk still resonated when it was written and performed in early seventeenth-century England some seventy years later.With this volume, Dutton and Galbraith provide a critical apparatus that situates The Duchess of Suffolk in historical context and suggests an explanation for its continued resonance. They account for the play’s censorship in 1624 by detailing how it evoked contemporary parallels to the controversial foreign policy of King James I. More specifically, the editors offer an introduction that includes a historical overview of the author, staging, printing, and reception. Facing facsimiles of the original are pages with the updated text, complete with annotations to clarify language and staging details. This edition of The Duchess of Suffolk will have something to offer to early modern drama scholars as well as scholars of book history
Fake It Till You Make It: Data Augmentation Using Generative Adversarial Networks for All the Crypto You Need on Small Devices
No full textDeep learning-based side-channel analysis performance heavily depends on the dataset size and the number of instances in each target class. Both small and imbalanced datasets might lead to unsuccessful side-channel attacks. The attack performance can be improved by generating traces synthetically from the obtained data instances instead of collecting them from the target device, but this is a cumbersome and challenging task. We propose a novel data augmentation approach based on conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN) and Siamese networks, enhancing the attack capability. We also present a quantitative comparative deep learning-based side-channel analysis between a real raw signal leakage dataset and an artificially augmented leakage dataset. The analysis is performed on the leakage datasets for both symmetric and public-key cryptographic implementations. We investigate non-convergent networks’ effect on the generation of fake leakage signals using two cGAN based deep learning models. The analysis shows that the proposed data augmentation model results in a well-converged network that generates realistic leakage traces, which can be used to mount deep learning-based side-channel analysis successfully even when the dataset available from the device is not optimal. Our results show that the datasets enhanced with “faked” leakage traces are breakable (while not without augmentation), which might change how we perform deep learning-based side-channel analysis.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Cyber Securit
"What is the American Model Really About? Soft Budgets and the Keynesian Devolution "
No full textThe "American Model" serves as a point of reference in discussions of economic policy around the world especially in Europe; many claim that the American version of the free market represents an ideal type-it is the highest form of capitalism. The author argues, however, that the United States has relied heavily on government intervention in housing, health care, pensions, and education. Not only have these programs been largely successful and popular, they also provide a Keynesian stimulus to spending that help account for the strength of the U.S. economy. Now that the U.S. is in a weak, jobless recovery, the key to restoring growth may lie in the kinds of governmental programs that have helped to sustain and stabilize the U.S. economy in the past.
John Kenneth Galbraith and the Post Keynesian Tradition in Economics
No full textThis paper discusses some of the key contributions of John Kenneth Galbraith to economics and puts them into an historical context. It argues that the work of Galbraith should be recognized as making major contributions to the Post Keynesian paradigm. His work expands on the contributions made by John Maynard Keynes and is consistent with the main ideas of Post Keynesian thought. Much of his work can be thought of as a Post Keynesian microeconomics that needs to be added on to the Post Keynesian macroeconomics begun by Keynes. This work encompasses an understanding of how people behave and how firms behave, a recognition of the importance of uncertainty in the real world, and an emphasis on income effects being more important than substitution effects. The paper then points out how Galbraith has provided a Post Keynesian approach to key macroeconomic issues. The paper concludes with a brief summary of the other articles that make up this special issue to honor John Kenneth Galbraith on the hundredth anniversary of his birth.
Climbing and descending tall isogeny volcanos
No full textWe revisit the question of relating the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) between ordinary elliptic curves over finite fields with the same number of points. This problem was considered in 1999 by Galbraith and in 2005 by Jao, Miller, and Venkatesan. We apply recent results from isogeny cryptography and cryptanalysis, especially the Kani construction, to this problem. We improve the worst case bound in Galbraith\u27s 1999 paper from to (heuristically) operations.
The two cases of main interest for discrete logarithm cryptography are random curves (flat volcanoes) and pairing-based crypto (tall volcanoes with crater of constant or polynomial size). In both cases we show a rigorous algorithm to compute an isogeny between any two curves in the isogeny class. We stress that this paper is motivated by pre-quantum elliptic curve cryptography using ordinary elliptic curves, which is not yet obsolete
John Kenneth Galbraith
No full textGalbraith, John Kenneth (15 Oct. 1908-29 Apr. 2006), economist and author, was born in Iona Station, Ontario, Canada, to Archibald Galbraith and Sarah Catherine Kendall. Galbraith, who advanced and reinterpreted institutionalist and Keynesian traditions in economics while promoting a liberal and progressive political agenda, was arguably the best-known and most influential economist and public intellectual of his generation. He published dozens of books, served in a number of high-level government positions, and, as a faculty member at Harvard University for more than a quarter of a century, advised every Democratic president from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. Galbraith\u27s political education began at the hands of his father, who was active in agrarian politics in Ontario. Galbraith\u27s formal education at the outset was rudimentary. It began at a one-room school on Willy\u27s Sideroad and continued for four years at Dutton High School, followed by a fifth year at St. Thomas High School (the additional year necessitated by inadequate elementary school preparation). He matriculated at Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, where he pursued a B.Sc. in agricultural economics. His major was animal husbandry. In a Time interview he later described OAC as not only the cheapest but probably the worst college in the English-speaking world. Approaching graduation, and seeking wider horizons, he applied for and won a Giannini Fellowship in Agricultural Economics, and in 1931 journeyed westward and to the United States to pursue graduate study at the University of California at Berkeley. By all accounts (including those of the FBI) he now became a much stronger student, although he was aware that students and faculty in the regular economics department considered those in the department of agricultural economics as second class. His doctoral dissertation, which in retrospect Galbraith viewed as without distinction, examined county expenditures in California
A New Adaptive Attack on SIDH
No full textThe SIDH key exchange is the main building block of SIKE, the only isogeny based scheme involved in the NIST standardization process. In 2016, Galbraith et al. presented an adaptive attack on SIDH. In this attack, a malicious party manipulates the torsion points in his public key in order to recover an honest party’s static secret key, when having access to a key exchange oracle. In 2017, Petit designed a passive attack (which was improved by de Quehen et al. in 2020) that exploits the torsion point information available in SIDH public key to recover the secret isogeny when the endomorphism ring of the starting curve is known. In this paper, firstly, we generalize the torsion point attacks by de Quehen et al. Secondly, we introduce a new adaptive attack vector on SIDH-type schemes. Our attack uses the access to a key exchange oracle to recover the action of the secret isogeny on larger subgroups. This leads to an unbalanced SIDH instance for which the secret isogeny can be recovered in polynomial time using the generalized torsion point attacks. Our attack is different from the GPST adaptive attack and constitutes a new cryptanalytic tool for isogeny based cryptography. This result proves that the torsion point attacks are relevant to SIDH (Disclaimer: this result is applicable to SIDH-type schemes only, not to SIKE.) parameters in an adaptive attack setting. We suggest attack parameters for some SIDH primes and discuss some countermeasures.SCOPUS: cp.kinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Galbraith: el economista con un objetivo público
No full textIn Economics, what is absolutely mysterious is probably unimportant, said John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) on several occasions about the usual economic language in comparison to the terminology used by other social sciences. Nonetheless, the american economist warned that this statement didn´t excuse anyone from mastering the fundamental ideas and conceptual apparatus of the discipline. Author of the trilogy The Opulent Society (1958), The New Industrial State (1967) and The Economy and the Public Purpose (1973), which received wide recognition from critics and readers; editor of Fortune in the immediate postwar period; Counselor of the presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson, as well as a successful columnist and writer, Galbraith fought what he called "conventional wisdom": the social acceptability of the principles of neoclassical economics. With this objective, the professor at Harvard University attracted a large audience with the purpose of imposing certain issues on economists. Galbraith estimated that if the postulates of "conventional wisdom" were vulnerable, unreal, citizen intuition would respond. Finally, Galbraith was a pioneer in the television broadcast of economic ideas and their consequences through the series that starred for the BBC The Age of Uncertainty (1977).En Economía, lo que es absolutamente misterioso carece probablemente de importancia, señaló en varias ocasiones John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) acerca del lenguaje económico habitual en comparación con la terminología empleada por otras ciencias sociales. No obstante, el economista keynesiano e institucionalista norteamericano advertía que dicha afirmación no excusaba a nadie de dominar las ideas y el aparato conceptual fundamentales de la disciplina. Autor de la trilogía La sociedad opulenta (1958), El nuevo Estado industrial (1967) y La economía y el objetivo público (1973), que obtuvo un amplio reconocimiento de crítica y lectores; editor de la revista Fortune en la inmediata postguerra; consejero de los presidentes Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy y Johnson, así como articulista y escritor de éxito, Galbraith combatió lo que denominó "sabiduría convencional": la aceptabilidad social de los principios de la economía neoclásica. Para ello, el profesor de la Universidad de Harvard atrajo a un público numeroso con el propósito de imponer determinadas cuestiones a los economistas. Galbraith estimaba que si los postulados de la "sabiduría convencional" eran vulnerables, irreales, la intuición ciudadana respondería. Asimismo, Galbraith fue pionero en la difusión televisiva de las ideas económicas y sus consecuencias a través de la serie que protagonizó para la BBC La era de la incertidumbre (1977)
The Economic Contributions of John Kenneth Galbraith
No full textGalbraith's principal theoretical contribution is foreshadowed in American capitalism and unfolds more clearly into view in his trilogy The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State and Economics and the Public Purpose. His thesis is that the economic ideas that once explained a world of poverty have not adjusted to a world of affluence dominated by the modern corporation. His main themes are the concentration of economic power in the large corporation and the social and environmental imbalance that results from the large corporation. Galbraith attempts to tease out the implications of the uneven development of modern affluence and outlines an emancipatory case for social change.
