SUMMARY:The Making of Global Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The all-encompassing embrace of world capitalism at the beginning of the twenty-first century was generally attributed to the superiority of competitive markets. Globalization had appeared to be the natural outcome of this unstoppable process. But today\, with global markets roiling and increasingly reliant on state intervention to stay afloat\, it has become clear that markets and states aren’t straightforwardly opposing forces.\nIn this groundbreaking work\, Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin demonstrate the intimate relationship between modern capitalism and the American state\, including its role as an “informal empire” promoting free trade and capital movements. Through a powerful historical survey\, they show how the US has superintended the restructuring of other states in favor of competitive markets and coordinated the management of increasingly frequent financial crises. \nThe Making of Global Capitalism\, through its highly original analysis of the first great economic crisis of the twenty-first century\, identifies the centrality of the social conflicts that occur within states rather than between them. These emerging fault lines hold out the possibility of new political movements transforming nation states and transcending global markets. \nLeo Panitch\, Distinguished Research Professor of Political Science\, York University\, has edited The Socialist Register since 1985. Sam Gindin\, was for many years Research Director of the Canadian Auto Workers.  \nSponsored by the The Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy.

SUMMARY:Of Time and Space
DESCRIPTION:At 4PM on April 5\, Prof. Zorina Kahn (Bowdoin College) will discuss a paper entitled “Of Time and Space: Technological Spillovers among Patents and Unpatented Innovation in early U.S. Industrialization.”\nKahn is chair of Bowdoin’s economics department and the author of the award-winning The Democratization of Innovation . Her talk assesses the role of institutional mechanisms in generating technological knowledge spillovers. The estimation is over panel datasets of federal patent grants\, and innovations that were granted prizes at annual industrial fairs of the American Institute of New York\, between 1835 and 1870. One part of the talk tests the hypothesis of spatial autocorrelation in patenting and in the exhibited innovations. In keeping with the contract theory of patents\, the procedure identifies high and statistically significant spatial autocorrelation\, indicating the prevalence of geographical spillovers in the sample of inventions that were patented. The second part of the talk investigates whether per capita innovations/prizes in a county were affected by patenting in contiguous or adjacent counties. These results are consistent with the argument that patents enhance the diffusion of information for both patented and unpatented innovations\, whereas inventions that garner prizes are less effective in generating external benefits from knowledge spillovers.

SUMMARY:Of Human and Divine Bondage: Slavery and Freedom in Augustine
DESCRIPTION:A specialist on the later Roman Empire and its transformation into a Christian state\,Professor Elm’s research bridges intellectual and social history and focuses on interactions\nbetween Christians and “pagans” in late antiquity. In this talk\, she asks how ideas of\nbondage and practices of unfree labor influenced the formation of theological maxims in\nthe writings of Augustine of Hippo (354-430 CE). By analyzing the complex language in\nslavery in Augustine’s letters\, Professor Elm situates his writings in the context of the major\nsocial and economic changes that reshaped the Roman world in the fifth century and\nexplores how closely the metaphors of slavery that Augustine and his peers employed in\ntheir writings related to social realities they encountered on a daily basis. \nA reception with refreshments will immediately follow.  \nSponsored by the California\nConsortium for the Study of Late Antiquity. \nhm 4/2/13
