E. Hardy
Edgar Richard "Hardy" Hardcastle (1899 – June 1995) was a theoretician of Marxist economics. The son of a founder member of the Socialist Party of Great Britain, Hardcastle went to prison as a socialist conscientious objector in the First World War, formally joining his father's party in 1922. After studying at the London School of Economics under Professor Edwin Cannan, he worked all his life as a researcher in the trade union movement, first for the National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers, then for a short while for the international trade union movement in Brussels, then till his retirement for the Union of Post Office Workers where he was chief adviser to a succession of UPW General Secretaries. His main interest was monetary economics. From the 1930s on, as his ''Socialist Standard'' articles (written under the pen name of H.) testify, he did battle against Keynes on behalf of Marx and also, on behalf of his old professor, Cannan. Edwin Cannan, a largely forgotte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wandsworth
Wandsworth Town () is a district of south London, within the London Borough of Wandsworth southwest of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London. Toponymy Wandsworth takes its name from the River Wandle, which enters the River Thames, Thames at Wandsworth.

Ricardian Economics
Ricardian economics are the economic theories of David Ricardo, an English political economist born in 1772 who made a fortune as a stockbroker and loan broker.Henderson 826Fusfeld 325 At the age of 27, he read '' An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of Wealth of Nations'' by Adam Smith and was energised by the theories of economics. His main economic ideas are contained in '' On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation'' (1817). This set out a series of theories which would later become theoretical underpinnings of both Marx's ''Das Kapital'' and Marshallian economics, including the theory of economic rent, the labour theory of value and above all the theory of comparative advantage. Ricardo wrote his first economic article ten years after reading Adam Smith and ultimately, the "bullion controversy" gave him fame in the economic community for his theory on inflation in 19th-century England. This theory became known as monetarism, the theory that excess currency lead ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alumni Of The London School Of Economics
Alumni (: alumnus () or alumna ()) are former students or graduates of a school, college, or university. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women, and alums (: alum) or alumns (: alumn) as gender-neutral alternatives. The word comes from Latin, meaning nurslings, pupils or foster children, derived from "to nourish". The term is not synonymous with "graduates": people can be alumni without graduating, e.g. Burt Reynolds was an alumnus of Florida State University but did not graduate. The term is sometimes used to refer to former employees, former members of an organization, former contributors, or former inmates. Etymology The Latin noun means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from the Latin verb "to nourish". Separate, but from the same root, is the adjective "nourishing", found in the phrase '' alma mater'', a title for a person's home university. Usage in Roman law In Latin, is a legal term (Roman law) to describe a child placed in foster ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Socialist Party Of Great Britain Debates
Debates between the Socialist Party of Great Britain and other groups were a core component of promoting the SPGB's doctrines and exposing its message to a broader audience. Debates were not a major part of the SPGB until the 1930s. Before then, the party instead relied on outdoor speaking, particularly at established street corner venues. The number of SPGB debates held peaked in the 1980s. In the last ten years, however, debating has virtually ceased as an operation of the SPGB. The SPGB has been noted for its willingness to debate against far right figures such as S. R. Probyn, Michael Goulding and Raven Thompson from the British Union of Fascists, and Denis Pirie from the National Front. Until the 1970s, debates were primarily held in the winter months. Most of the debates have occurred in London, where the party headquarters is based.

Economic Crisis
A financial crisis is any of a broad variety of situations in which some financial assets suddenly lose a large part of their nominal value. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many financial crises were associated with banking panics, and many recessions coincided with these panics. Other situations that are often called financial crises include stock market crashes and the bursting of other financial bubbles, currency crises, and sovereign defaults. Financial crises directly result in a loss of paper wealth but do not necessarily result in significant changes in the real economy (for example, the crisis resulting from the famous tulip mania bubble in the 17th century). Many economists have offered theories about how financial crises develop and how they could be prevented. There is little consensus and financial crises continue to occur from time to time. It is apparent however that a consistent feature of both economic (and other applied finance disciplines) is the obviou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Underconsumptionism
Underconsumption is a theory in economics that recessions and stagnation arise from an inadequate consumer demand, relative to the amount produced. In other words, there is a problem of overproduction and overinvestment during a demand crisis. The theory formed the basis for the development of Keynesian economics and the theory of aggregate demand after the 1930s. Underconsumption theory narrowly refers to heterodox economists in Britain in the 19th century, particularly from 1815 onwards, who advanced the theory of underconsumption and rejected classical economics in the form of Ricardian economics. The economists did not form a unified school, and their theories were rejected by mainstream economics of the time. Underconsumption is an old concept in economics that goes back to the 1598 French mercantilist text ''Les Trésors et richesses pour mettre l'Estat en splendeur'' (''The Treasures and riches to put the State in splendor'') by Barthélemy de Laffemas, if not earlier.
