If personality is the key to this feeling of fitting in, then you need to consider this question: What kind of personality do you have? Maybe you can come up with a few ways to describe yourself, such as “sunny,” “energetic,” “conscientious,” “loyal,” “outgoing,” “funny,” or “competitive.” But what do those terms suggest for the kind of work you might enjoy and do well? What terms might be more useful?

Over a week had passed since the collapse of the World Trade Center. The afternoon of September 11, I managed to contact a cousin who lives in our old neighborhood in Brooklyn but works near Ground Zero. (I’ll call her Jean, even though it isn’t her name.) She was safe. In fact, while running a bit late that morning, she heard a confused news bulletin on the radio about a fire in the area and further postponed her departure to avoid the possible inconvenience of a subway delay. Within minutes of the initial news flash, television pictures began to reveal the extent of the horror. Our conversation that afternoon was hushed and monotone, like mourners gathered at a funeral, wanting to strengthen each other but finding our words hopelessly inadequate, empty.

The Celts were one of the great founding cultures of European civilization. Their origins can be traced back to the second millennium B.C. The Celts’ original homeland was near the headwaters of the Rhine, Rhone, and Danube Rivers, in what is now Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. By the start of the first millennium B.C., however, the Celts began a massive expansion across Europe.

Everyone wants to be in show business. The media-driven aura of glamour and wealth is irresistible. A recent cab driver, aware that he was driving me to Columbia University, asked me what I taught there. When I told him I was in the Graduate Film Division he immediately wanted to give me a screenplay he had written. Many would love to be actors, but the obvious demands and risks are daunting. But directing! Ahhh, that looks easy...

I wasn’t born a first lady or a senator. I wasn’t born a Democrat. I wasn’t born a lawyer or an advocate for women’s rights and human rights. I wasn’t born a wife or mother. I was born an American in the middle of the twentieth century, a fortunate time and place. I was free to make choices unavailable to past generations of women in my own country and inconceivable to many women in the world today. I came of age on the crest of tumultuous social change and took part in the political battles fought over the meaning of America and its role in the world.

Scarlett O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin—that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.

Abortion is a politically controversial issue in many Western countries, mainly because it clashes with some Christian teachings on the sanctity of life. In the past, by contrast, some communist societies had made abortion so easy that, in the Soviet Union, for example, it was close to being the main method of birth control. It is still extensively, and often compulsorily, practised in the People’s Republic of China.

The beginning of the universe had, of course, been discussed for a long time. According to a number of early cosmologies in the Jewish/Christian/Muslim tradition, the universe started at a finite and not very distant time in the past. One argument for such a beginning was the feeling that it was necessary to have a first cause to explain the existence of the universe.

The poetry and poetics of the Victorian period were intertwined, often in arresting ways, with theology, science, philosophy, theories of language and politics. As cultural and intellectual change became progressively more apparent, two traditions of poetry developed, one exploring various strategies for democratic, radical writing, the other developing, in different forms, a conservative poetry.

At the close of World War I, the four defeated empires that had dominated and ruled East Central Europe—the German, Habsburg, Ottoman, and Russian empires—were replaced by a dozen new or restored or enlarged would-be nation-states, all of which based their asserted legitimation on the then reigning politico-moral principle of national self-determination. Though the territorial arrangements of 1919 to 1921 still left a number of additional nations in East Central Europe stateless and created problems of aggrieved minorities allocated to states toward which they felt little or no affinity (conditions that induced revisionist apologists for the territorial losers of World War I to charge that the territorial arrangements were merely a cynical and unprincipled victors’ fiat), for all their admitted flaws, they still freed three times as many people from nationally alien rule as they subjected to such rule.

The very word ‘design’ is the first problem we must confront in this book since it is in everyday use and yet given quite specific and different meanings by particular groups of people. We might begin by noting that ‘design’ is both a noun and a verb and can refer either to the end product or to the process.

The first stimulus for this book came out of the experience of research in Central Italy in the early 1970s. Thiswasan environment structured by the pervasive conflict between Catholic and communist political movements, and it was here that I discovered that as a fieldworker my own political identity wasmore important than my nationality in most social contexts. It was also here that I encountered the contrast between rural and urban social worlds, and began to hear the many ways that these are represented. This contrast has profound importance in European political history and constitutes a recurring theme in this study.

In Sex, God, and Marriage we find a message needed today in every part of the world. To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and of loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something beautiful for God. Purity is the fruit of prayer. If families pray together they will remain in unity and purity, and love each other as God loves each one of them. A pure heart is the carrier of God’s love, and where there is love, there is unity, joy, and peace.

Unlike mainstream economists, political economists have always tried to situate the study of economics within the broader project of understanding how society functions. However, during the second half of the twentieth century dissatisfaction with the traditional political economy theory of social change known as historical materialism increased to the point where many modern political economists and social activists no longer espouse it, and most who still call themselves historical materialists have modified their theory considerably to accommodate insights about the importance of gender relations, race relations, and the “human factor” in understanding social stability and social change.

Everybody analyses films. People walking out of cinemas turn to each other and say: ‘What did you make of that, then?’ And as soon as they go past simply recording likes and dislikes, pleasures and disappointments, their answers start dealing in the coinage of analysis: talking about characters and their motivations, about acting, its convincingness and contribution to the film, about the story (did it make sense? what sense did it make? what gaps, puzzling bits, incoherences were experienced?). The more people chat about a film afterwards, the more they make analyses, collaboratively.

A popular French entertainer once explained that “a kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point.” This sort of “punctuation” easily attracts interest, but until recently many grammarians and copy editors assumed that their passion for a properly placed semicolon was rare. Yet a substantial number of people do care about punctuation and would indeed like to know, for example, when a comma is called for. Moreover, everyone should care because punctuation is the roadmap that tells the reader how to arrive at the writer’s meaning.

In the world of slang, sex slang is about as good as it gets. You can pretend to be appalled by this slang, if not the sexual practices described, but if you weren’t amused with the wit and creativity of unconventional vocabulary you wouldn’t be holding this book in your hands in the first place.
We are hard-wired for a linguistic resourcefulness that always matches, and usually surpasses, our physical and sexual invention. Most sexual slang represents practices as old as the ages – newly discovered, of course, by the next generation. New sexual activity is extremely rare but you will find there’s always a word for it in these pages.

Slang derives much of its power from the fact that it is clandestine, forbidden or generally disapproved of. So what happens once it is accepted, even in some cases embraced and promoted by ‘mainstream’ society? Not long ago the Oxford English Dictionary characterised slang as ‘low and disreputable’; in the late 1970s the pioneering sociolinguist Michael Halliday used the phrase
‘anti-language’ in his study of the speech of criminals and marginals. For him, theirs was an interestingly ‘pathological’ form of language. The first description now sounds quaintly outmoded, while the second could be applied to street gangs – today’s posses, massives or sets – and their secret codes. Both, however, involve value judgements which are essentially social and not linguistic. Attitudes to the use of language have changed profoundly over the last three decades, and the perceived boundaries between ‘standard’ and ‘unorthodox’ are becoming increasingly ‘fuzzy’.

Published: 2001
Pages: 481
Size: 25.5MB

This book is not simply an annotated roster of the Society of Dead Economists. As living economists grapple with modern economic problems and begin to alter their views, more and more readers are discovering a need for transitional books, books that bridge the gap between what economics has been and what it is becoming. A Brief History of Economics: Artful Approaches to the Dismal Science reflects this desire for a bridge over sometimes troubled waters.
Because the old masters of economics imagined with a broad social brush and used lively real-world examples, they are easier to understand than many modern writers, so I believe that this book is fully accessible to beginning readers in economics. At the other extreme, readers who approach this volume with a sophisticated understanding of economic theory but little, if any, exposure to the history of thought can now become acquainted with some of the most fascinating personalities of the ages. An inquiring mind is the only prerequisite.
