{"title":"Living conditions and social response in times of apocalypse: the inflationary cycle of the First World War in Catalonia","authors":"Ángel Calvo","doi":"10.1080/03071022.2023.2246812","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03071022.2023.2246812","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis article deals with the issue of population living conditions and the resulting social response in a very short inflationary conjuncture, created by an external shock. It focuses on the effects of the First World War – a cataclysm in the history of humanity that affected all spheres, from the geopolitical and social to the economic – on a particular region of eastern Spain: Catalonia. The article is structured into five main sections. It begins with a discussion of the never-ending debates on living conditions. It then addresses the characteristics of the First World War cycle; the war in Catalonia specifically, along with the trap of economic benefits (limited expansion and inflation) and the effects on the population; and the subsistence crisis in Catalonia and its devastating effects, before finally examining the unrest that led towards a ‘revolution of the stomachs’. The article uses an exceptional set of primary sources – letters intercepted by censors – containing personal testimonies of everyday experiences, feelings and reactions to events across social classes. It demonstrates correlations between economic indicators and individual testimonies, identifies and explains the seasonality of protest, and incorporates a gender perspective to show that women were at the forefront of this protest.KEYWORDS: Living conditionsinflationsocial protestFirst World War AcknowledgementsThis study was undertaken at the Observatori Centre d’Estudis Jordi Nadal d’Història Econòmica, Department of Economic History, Institutions and Policy and World Economy, Faculty of Economics and Business (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain).

{"title":"Turncoats and traitors, rogues and renegades: reviewing labour’s lost leaders in reform-era Yorkshire","authors":"John Robert Sanders","doi":"10.1080/03071022.2023.2246807","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03071022.2023.2246807","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe annals of working-class agitational endeavours in the early nineteenth century contain more than a sprinkling of rogues who ran off with money, and renegades who abjured their earlier beliefs. They also include a few turncoats and traitors who turned their backs on their former colleagues and went over to the ‘other side’. This article explores the public careers of two reform-era renegades from the West Riding woollen textile district: John Tester and George Beaumont. Both were prominent local figures who turned coat in the pivotal year of 1834. An examination of the context and nature of their treachery attests to the importance but also the fragility of local leadership. The article argues that the special place that popular leaders held in their communities went beyond notions of fame and celebrity; but that this bond, once broken, was not easily repaired. Examining the villains as well as the heroes of labour history enables us to appreciate the local energies and tensions that underpinned popular movements and to put into context the resilience of leaders who lasted the course.KEYWORDS: Local leadershiptrade unionismpopular radicalismcelebrity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 For discussion of ‘the paper pantheon’ of heroes created by the Chartists and the importance of memory in political and social movements, see M.
