"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.
Introduction: Mapping the Contours of East Asian Commercial Law for the Asian Century
No full textThe centre of economic gravity in the new century is shifting to the East. Since 200 1, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Asia's contribution to world economic growth has matched that of the United States and Europe combined, and, since 2006, has even exceeded it (IMF, 20 I I; Neumann and Arora, 20 II ). This surge is easy to explain: China has emerged as a global super-power; Japan remains the third-largest world economy, despite only recently emerging from over twenty years of economic stagnation (The Age, 2013); South Korea and the ' tiger ' economies of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore have achieved high-level economic development through capital investment and technological innovation; and Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia have supplied riches in labour and resources to the regional economy (Macintyre and Naughton, 2005, p. 78). A growing middle class is lifting consumption. ‘Billions of Asians,' writes Mahbubani (2008, p. 3), 'are marching to modernity.’ This book examines scholarly interpretations for the role commercial law has played in East Asia's economic rise. At first blush, this might seem a daunting task. After all, as some theorists have argued, the East Asian experience is largely neglected in writings on Jaw generally and commercial law more broadly (Wolff, 20 12). This is because law, as a discipline, was largely forged in the prior European and American centuries; these 'Anglo-American moorings' ill-serve legal analysis in the new Asian Century (Cossman, 1997, p. 539)
Emanuel Wolff, \u2756 (BardCorps)
No full textEmanuel Manny Wolff, \u2756, remembers his time at Bard fondly. A German Jewish refugee born in 1937, he escaped from Nazi Germany with his family. Wolff’s father was a Roosevelt Democrat, and Manny found Bard a “bastion of liberal thinking and principle.” He remembers Pete Seeger playing at Bard in 1954 during the McCarthy era, while Seeger was blacklisted at other schools. Wolff notes Dr. Ted Sottery’s lasting impact in his life, and describes Dr. Sottery as a man of “remarkable integrity and humility” and an “expert in his field.” (physical chemistry). He recalls that Sottery’s answers were given in the form of a question, ”I think it means the following…”
Wolff remembers President James Case with a personal anecdote. A ‘Beer Dance’ at Bard was a common event that lasted into the 1970s. Wolff was entertainment chairman one year and thought spending money on beer and a band was a waste. For one weekend, he spent it instead on gin and tonic, and called the event the F. Scott Fitzerald weekend. The next day was Parents’ Day, and the campus was littered with gin bottles. When Case saw him he punched him in the gut, half playfully saying, “How could you do this to me?!” He also remembered that Case’s daughters were sent to Vassar..not Bard, and mentioned that President Case was given a vote of no confidence at Bard in 1959.
Wolff worked during his years at Bard in various jobs including lifeguard [at the Blithewood pool] and waiter at the refectory in Preston Hall. He studied as a pre-med student, but also studied classical organ with Clair Leonard, and enjoyed other arts classes. Manny received three years of PE credit for taking one dance class with Jean Erdman, wife of Joseph Campbell. They were putting on a production that required partnered lifts, and there were not many men in the dance department. This experience served to give him an appreciation for dance that has lasted through his life.
After Bard, Wolff enlisted in the Air Force to avoid being drafted. Here he became a de facto psychiatrist, where he ‘liked listening to people\u27s stories’ while figuring out who might “crack up.” He went to medical school after this experience and became a psychoanalyst.
Wolff ended with a story from that morning’s memorial service in the chapel: the chaplain couldn’t unlock the cabinet that held the chalice for the Holy Eucharist, so Leon loaned some Kiddush cups which they were “perfectly happy to use… That little vignette typifies Bard.”https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1069/thumbnail.jp

“I’m Here”: Isolation and presence in the short stories of Tobias Wolff
No full textThis article argues that Tobias Wolff critiques a doctrine of individualism, formed particularly in America during the Eighties, which has informed a central dynamic in his writing. Wolff depicts characters who must struggle to move away from solipsistic ideologies by seeing beyond habitual cycles of stagnated and destructive behavior. In many of his stories, characters are caught between a guarded sense of distance, versus an imperative to connect with those around them. I argue that the perceived vulnerability of forming relationships and the complex duties of moral decision-making create a tension that forms the basis of much of Wolff’s storytelling. I argue that Wolff shows how a focus on the present rather than on fleeting impulses or a fixation with the past can elucidate his protagonists’ lives. Three of Wolff’s stories close with the same two words: “I’m here.” I explore why this short sentence has such resonance in his work by drawing connections between these stories which span thirty years. In each case, the speaker is doing far more than consoling a person in distress. These precise words depict characters tentatively seeking to redefine themselves in climactic moments of self-growth
Christian Wolff in Italien. Zwischen Mathematik und Metaphysik
No full textThe presence of Christian Wolff in the Italian philosophy of the eighteenth century began with the works of mathematics, reprinted in Verona by the Sereri, and later expanded with the reissue of the great philosophical treatises in Latin, from the mid-thirties. The report tracks the strokes of good fortune to Wolff and clarifies certain moments in its reception in Italy. In particular, this report focuses on the relationship between mathematics and metaphysics in the fortune of the Wolffian thought.
La fortuna di Wolff, non solo in Italia, ma anche in ambito europeo, appare legata ai suoi “Elementa matheseos universae” con i quali offriva una versione degli antichi elementi di Euclide accresciuta con l’analisi e il nuovo calcolo infinitesimale, oltre che dell’applicazione della matematica ai più diversi campi del sapere. In qualche modo, l’edizione stessa delle opere metafisiche, avvenuta a Verona negli anni trenta del Settecento, appare legata al rapporto che Wolff teneva con Giovanni Poleni, dell’Università di Padova. Attraverso delle lettere inedite, si ricostruisce così il rapporto tra il curatore dell’edizione veronese delle opere metafisiche, il Sereri, e Wolff, oltre che tra il Poleni e Wolff stesso, dal quale l’illustre professore patavino chiedeva una redazione delle sue opere di metafisica, dapprima apparse in tedesco, anche nella lingua latina, così da assicurare ad esse, analogamente a quel che era accaduto per gli Elementi di matematica, un pieno successo a livello europeo. La ricostruzione delle circostanze che portarono all’edizione veronese si accompagna nel saggio alla precisazione della presenza di Wolff nell’Università di Padova lungo il Settecento, dove, attraverso i testi del Baumeister, venne addirittura a sostituire ad un certo punto la lettura dello stesso Aristotele: testimonianza di una presenza sotterranea e diffusa, che difficilmente può essere trascurat
