The vast and growing literature on this subject has nonetheless settled on an earlier origin story that depicts the term as self-selected moniker from the Walter Lippmann Colloquium, a 1938 Paris gathering of free-market academics that foreshadowed the post-war founding of the Mont Pelerin Society. \u0000 \u0000This origin story, however, is a myth that likely derives from a misreading of French philosopher Michel Foucault, who first directed modern scholarly attention to the Paris gathering. By turning to neglected German-language sources, this study shows that the term and modern concept of \"neoliberalism\" predate the 1938 conference. Rather, \"neo/neu-liberalismus\" was first popularized by a succession of Marxist and Fascist political theorists in the early 1920s, who employed it as a term of disparagement against the \"Marginal Utility School\" of economic thought anchored at the University of Vienna. These critics of marginalism diverged sharply on the political far-left and far-right of interwar Austrian and German politics, but shared a common disdain for the theory of subjective value promoted by the Viennese circle around economist Ludwig von Mises. \u0000 \u0000This earlier origin story of the term links it conceptually to modern-day uses, which often display a similar pejorative character to its interwar uses on the political left. It further helps to explain why several attendees of the 1938 conference, Mises among them, rejected the proposed term.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"9 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116422025","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}

Likhachev (1862–1936) and currently stored in the Scientific and Historical archive of the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences contains, among other documents, the vast majority of this array comes from Italy (about five thousand documents), of which about a third are original notarial deeds. There are over ten thousand storage units related to the history of Italy in the collection of the West-European section of the archive of St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The collection is divided into fonds, and the focus of this research will be on the sixth collection that was named «Venice and its possessions», where you can find notarial deeds analyzed by a team of scholars within the framework of our project. The manuscripts studied by our team provide information about economic and social aspects of life in the rural communes of the Val d’Astico located in the Northern Vicentino. Here we describe the geographical and historical peculiarities of the region in order to place the documents in the particular context and to proceed with its better understanding. All of these documents are instrumenta rather than imbreviaturae, and at least when it comes to the deeds drawn by Pietro di Zennaro we can treat this set as a certain unity. Within this study, one of our main objectives of the team work was preparation of these documents for critical publication. The source material studied here still has to be contextualized and researched in more profound manner; however, we can clearly see now that the investigation of the deeds stored in the Western European section of the Scientific and Historical archive of the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences is more than promising.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132932082","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}

Descriptive evidence has indicated that both the government and the local elites provided public goods that mitigated high grain prices and maintained social stability. However, few studies to date have quantitatively compared the importance of these two types of service. We construct a prefecture-level set of panel data from 1742 to 1795 to compare the effects of government-managed granary with the effects of community services provided by local elites, and we show how these effects varied by region. The results show that although higher grain prices commonly led to increased conflict across China, this pattern did not apply in the most prosperous regions, namely the North and the Lower Yangzi. This set of findings suggests the existence of effective interventions to deal with food-supply crises. Further investigations show that although the government played a dominant role in the North, the local elites were more effective for reducing price fluctuations in the Lower Yangzi. We also provide several explanations for the different patterns of crisis relief found in the two examined regions.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126525235","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}

Human beings use the materials in their environment, including fire and metals, to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of fire and metals enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. Fire and metals have particular properties and human knowledge of those properties increases over time in a particular order. Increasing human knowledge of how to create higher and higher temperatures enables the smelting and melting of a wider range of ores and metals. Those ores and metals that could be smelted and melted at lower temperatures were used before the ores and metals which had higher smelting and melting points. This meant that copper, and its alloy bronze, were used before iron and its alloy steel. Pure metals, like copper and iron, were used before alloys such as, bronze and steel, as the manufacture of alloys is more complicated than the manufacture of pure metals. The simplest knowledge is acquired first and more complex knowledge is acquired later. The order of discovery determines the course of human social and cultural history, as knowledge of new and more efficient means of smelting ores and melting metals, results in new technology, which contributes to the development of new social and ideological systems. This means human social and cultural history, had to follow a particular course, a course that was determined by the properties of the materials in the human environment.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116474529","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}

Towards a Critique of the Vulnerable Subject: Pashukanis and Public Protection 对弱势主体的批判:帕舒卡尼与公共保护

Ramsay","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2343538","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2343538","url":null,"abstract":"This paper sets out some elements of a historical theory of the contemporary securitization of criminal law and expansion of state surveillance. I begin by demonstrating that recent criminal legislation permits the state to punish those identified as dangerous. Following Jonathan Simon, I argue that this legislative policy of public protection arises from the idea that the victim of crime is the representative subject of law, and that the vulnerability of potential victims provides the normative justification for coercing and punishing persons for their dangerousness. I then investigate why Evgeny Pashukanis, in the final chapter of his General Theory of Law and Marxism, explicitly excluded the possibility that penal law might be used to punish the dangerous. I argue that his account of the legal relation between the subjects of commodity exchange is one-sided. Correcting this one-sidedness demonstrates that the vulnerability of the subject is an inherent aspect of commodity exchange relations. On this basis I sketch a historical account of how the legal ideology has been inverted, displacing the abstractly free individual subject of classical legal ideology with the abstractly vulnerable individual subject of public protection. I consider the implications of this ideological reversal for abolitionist criminal law theory, and conclude by identifying the methodological error that led Pashukanis to his one-sided account of legal relations.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121621720","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}

Their commercial rivalry played out within the context of a wider French-English competition in a borderland region where resident Beothuk natives and eventually migrant Irish labourers added to the complex social and economic mix. Lester and Slade adapted novel business systems for the procurement and shipment to European markets of the Bay’s salmon, seals, lumber, peltry and other resources, in addition to cod. They employed flexible bookkeeping and accounting conventions to track the values and volumes of the products that they traded with resident settler-planters. Similarly, they adapted enterprise forms according to the environmental, social/cultural and economic contingencies that arose during a period of great flux in the Atlantic world. Taken together, Lester’s commercial diaries and Slade’s extant ledgers represent a rare portrait of early-capitalist enterprise and entrepreneurship in a complex cultural and inter-imperial setting. Lester was a networked Atlantic merchant who aspired to join the ranks of economic and colonial elites. He was one of a large group of international “thinkers and actors” for whom the world consisted of nothing other than markets to satisfy. For his part, Slade was a focused, aggressive instrument of British imperial expansion and took advantage of the uncertain imperial and legal status of Notre Dame Bay to base himself there and intensively expand his supply trade. Once he had consolidated control over the majority of the clients there, Notre Dame Bay became for Slade the base for expansion into more distant commercial orbits further north, in Labrador. Both merchants left sizeable complexes of documents which explain in different ways the strategic priorities they pursued and the methods they adopted.","PeriodicalId":376979,"journal":{"name":"History Research Network (Forthcoming)","volume":"73 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120873710","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}
