Abstract

Abstract:This essay uses the scriptural figure of jubilee to approach agrarian reform proposals made by Thomas Paine and Thomas Spence during the 1790s. It does so in light of Thomas Piketty’s Capital and Ideology, which calls for the incorporation of ideology and culture into the study of economic history. Using Piketty’s concept of “social property,” I show how Paine and Spence envision jubilarian transformations of the idea of private property via the installation of permanent redistributive mechanisms. Jubilee, I argue, is distinct from two better-known images of historical change in the 1790s, millenarianism and perfectibilism.

“环球庆典”：社会财产与1790年代的激进主义

摘要：本文以朱比利为例，探讨了托马斯·潘恩和托马斯·斯宾塞在1790年代提出的土地改革建议。这是根据托马斯·皮克提的《资本与意识形态》提出的，该书呼吁将意识形态和文化纳入经济史研究。利用皮克提的“社会财产”概念，我展示了潘恩和斯宾塞如何设想通过安装永久的再分配机制来实现私有财产观念的巨大转变。我认为，朱比利不同于1790年代两个更为人所知的历史变革形象，即千禧主义和完美主义。

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
