It belongs to its time and place and it seems best not to tamper with it. Th e treatise proposes an integrated treatment of central themes of behavioural economics and institutional economics. It upholds that even the simplest economic action, if analysed carefully, necessarily relies on psychological dispositions of the actors, as shaped by custom. Th ese psychological dispositions often flout the usual rationality assumptions encountered in economics, but without such dispositions, ownership would be irrelevant, exchange could not take place, contracting would be pointless, laws would be ineff ectual, and all kinds of learning would be impossible—hence the applicability of these assumptions is doubtful. At the same time, the psychological dispositions emerge not from blind irrationality, as current discussion around behavioural economics suggests, but result from individuals striving for an overall consistency of beliefs, dispositions, emotions, motives, and actions. Th e social sciences seem currently to lean towards some shoal cultural and moral relativism. In contrast, the view developed here re-asserts the universalist position which has been maintained by traditional economics since the Scottish Enlightenment but seems to fade nowadays in the wake of relativistic interpretations given to the findings of behavioural economics. Th e view outlined here seeks to correct that.","PeriodicalId":197148,"journal":{"name":"Rural Radicals","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127965645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

My work in these archives was supplemented by published collections of these schools’ and other educational institutions’ annual reports as well as by various federal bulletins, contemporary newspapers, and secondary histories of the period generally and of higher education specifically. I have drawn heavily on the personal papers of University of Michigan president James Burrill Angell. The Angell Papers, housed at the university’s Bentley Historical Library, are enormously helpful for any scholar of higher education’s development and its role in greater society at the turn of the twentieth century. The papers are valuable for a variety of reasons. First is the length and breadth of Angell’s career: Angell served as president of the university for a remarkable period of thirty-eight years. Beyond this impressive biography, however, lies Angell’s open mind and quiet nature. These traits not only guided his governance and service but also defined his relations with his peers. Thus, the Angell Papers comprise an exceptional repository not only of his ideas and opinions but of those of his colleagues from across academia and public life. Owing to both his tenure and his position as a linchpin between the established private universities of the East and the developing public institutions of the West and the South, Angell invariably found himself involved—not necessarily as an arbiter, but as a sympathetic ear—in the various debates that shaped higher education’s contribution to the national state. Angell was not always the most vociferous participant in these debates. However, he was often the most central one—a conduit and a sounding board. While certainly fundamental to this project, the Angell Papers and","PeriodicalId":197148,"journal":{"name":"Rural Radicals","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125968242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
