摘要

早期好莱坞电影中黑帮形象的演变反映了美国社会对商业的看法。在十年代和二十年代，歹徒被描述为强盗而不是敲诈勒索者，他的罪行仅限于他出生和成长的社区。在华尔街崩溃后，为了强调他与资本主义企业家的关系，好莱坞黑帮被描述为商人。他的财富和奢侈的生活方式是他堕落的主要原因，因为他忽视了犯罪业务，失去了对球拍的控制。

Crime as business

The image of the gangster in early Hollywood cinema is subject to an evolution that reflects the perception of business in American society. During the tens and the twenties, the gangster is described more as a bandit than as a racketeer, whose crimes are limited to the neighborhood where he was born and raised. After the Wall Street crash, the Hollywood gangster is described as a businessman in order to underline his proximity to capitalist entrepreneurs. His wealth and his luxurious lifestyle are the main reason of his downfall, since he neglects criminal business and loses control of the racket.

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
