The political economy of trade and growth: an analytical interpretation of sir James Steuart's inquiry
No full textSir James Steuart (1713-80) has been unduly neglected by the majority of historians of economic thought. This study aims at casting a new light upon his original thought to provide a basis for the revaluation of his contribution to the development of economic discipline. The present interpretation of his Inquiry (1767) reveals that his political economy contains not only fresh new ideas and path-breaking thinking for his time but also most major ingredients of modem economics. Firmly based on the recognition of the interdependence of economic sectors and social classes, he clearly grasped the circular system of production, distribution and consumption in the exchange economy. He discerned between the 'profit upon alienation' and the 'real value' of commodities in their current price' determined in the markets. He emphasized the 'balance of work and demand', secured by the 'double competition' among the sellers and buyers of commodities, for the efficient allocation of economic resources. On these foundations, Steuart established his theory of output, employment and population in terms of the notion of 'effectual demand'. His economic analysis culminates in his discussions of economic growth and foreign trade. He linked the limitations of the former to the benefits of the latter. Meanwhile, refuting his predecessors' quantity theory, Steuart presented what might be called the production-consumption theory of money, according to which money is not neutral to the determination of the level of output in an exchange economy. His theory of international money also takes on modernity, as it adopts an absorption approach to the balance of payments. Steuart's monetary analysis comes complete with his argument for government's active finance. The state interventionism underlying the whole of Steuart's political economy is seen as its logical conclusion, rather than a mere assumption. Thus, it is suggested that the ultimate message of his Inquiry is neither laissez faire nor centa-al planning

The case of Adam Clayton Powell, 1971
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the facts surrounding the exclusion of Adam C, Powell Jr. from the 90th Congress and to determine why the House of Representatives adopted that particular course of action. Before he was excluded by the House of Representatives, Powell occupied a very important post in the Congress. He was able to exert influence on much of the social legislation considered by that body. In examining the case of Powell (l) Powell's personality is examined, (2) the charges against Powell are examined (3) a comparison of Powell's conduct and that of his contemporaries is made (ij.) the possibility that Powell was a victim of discrimination is examined and the legality of Powell's punishment is examined. Information about Powell's conduct can be found in the reports of the committees that investigated him. With the exception of Dodd it is difficult to secure official information concerning the misconduct of Powell's contemporaries consequently most of the information relating to their activities must be drawn from newsnaner articles and the book written by newsmen Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson. The study concludes that Powell was a victim of discrimination. His race was the largest factor in the House action against him. Other factors were an unfavorable press, his party affiliation, is unpopularity with white liberals and some black leaders and his personal habits
