"Hello. My name is Brad DeLong. I'm the parent of two kids at Burton Valley. I'm volunteering tonight to call people to ask for their support for Measure E, the parcel tax measure for local Lafayette schools." Note the words parent, volunteer, local. I'm not Washington calling: I'm your neighbor. This isn't big government: this is volunteerism. This isn't for some federal construction boondoggle: this is for the school in your neighborhood.
This isn't the high politics I used to do: "Yes, Mr. Congressman. Your Republican opponent next year will say that you voted to raise taxes. But did you know that only 3,246 (estimated) households in your district will pay those higher income tax rates? And that 13,245 (estimated) households in your district will benefit from the enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit?" This isn't the long-range politics that I try to do: trying to become one of the "academic scribblers" to whom "madmen in authority" are listening when they hear their voices in the air. This is low--but very real--politics...

Review of Charles Ferguson, High Stakes, No Prisoners
by Michael Froomkin and Brad DeLong
Charles Ferguson has written a very honest book. That honesty is one chief reason to read it: he dishes the dirt on Netscape, Microsoft, his lawyers, his venture capitalists, and not least himself. But his very honesty gives the reader some critical distance--and gave us the tools to question how long the core conclusions of the book will continue to apply.
In 1993 Charles Ferguson--MIT-trained engineer, consultant, and high-tech industry analyst--had a brilliant idea: the world needed a visual development software tool to create online information systems. The tool had to be visually-oriented to be useful to the non-programmers who knew the information. Yet the tool had to be sophisticated to allow organizations to structure their data in useful ways. Ferguson sunk his then-life savings into his idea. He created his software corporation, Vermeer. With his partner, Randy Forgaard, he assembled a very good programming staff. He raised venture capital. He pursued the enterprise with monomania mixed with paranoia. And by the end of 1995 there was code that was more sophisticated than the code of potential competing programs like NaviPress, Netscape Composer, or PageMill, and that actually ran.
Ferguson and his startup jumpstarted an important part of how we interact with the Internet. Because of his idea, because he backed it to the hilt, and because others saw what he was doing and imitated him, we as a society got a nine-month head start on the development and diffusion of visual tools for Internet information systems design. This has enriched us all...

or, A cheap shot.
Why did Europeans conquer Peru, Mexico, Ghana, and Australia? Why didn't Incas, Aztecs, Ashanti, or Australians conquer Eurasians. That is the question that Jared Diamond answers--largely successfully--in this book. And his answer can be summed up in one phrase: "seeds, germs, size, and guns." (Note that the answer is not "guns, germs, and steel"--a phrase that is more euphonious but less meaningful.)

Macroeconomics Textbook Manifesto
There is an apocryphal rule about new textbooks: they can only have 15% new material. A successful new textbook must be different enough from the old standards to give professors an incentive to switch, but must to similar enough to the old standards to keep the process of switching from requiring professors to throw away all their old lecture notes and completely redesign their courses. This is a neat trick. It makes intellectual progress--at least intellectual progress in undergraduate instruction--nearly impossible.
Nevertheless, I believe that I can accomplish it. I think that I can greatly slim down "legacy" topics that are now included largely for intellectual-historical reasons (and that cause difficulty and confusion in teaching). I also think that I can make significant expositional improvements in several areas. Thus I think I can wind up with a shorter book that teaches students more material of interest and remains similar enough to past macroeconomics textbooks to be generally acceptable...

Review of Charles Petzold, Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
Have you ever wondered just how your computers really work? I mean, really, really work. Not as in "an electrical signal from memory tells the processor the number to be added," but what the electrical signal is, and how it accomplishes the magic of switching on the circuits that add while switching off the other circuits that would do other things with the number. I have. I have wondered this a lot over the past decades.
Yet somehow over the past several decades my hunger for an explanation has never been properly met. I have listened to people explain how two switches wired in series are an "AND"--only if both switches are closed will the lightbulb light. I have listened to people explain how IP is a packet-based communications protocol and TCP is a connection-based protocol yet the connection-based protocal can ride on top of the packet-based protocol. Somehow these explanations did not satisfy. One seemed like answering "how does a car work?" by telling how in the presence of oxygen carbon-hydrogen bonds are broken and carbon dioxide and water are created. The other seemed like anwering "how does a car work" by telling how if you step on the accelerator the car moves forward.
Charles Petzold is different. He has hit the sweet spot exactly...

America's Historical Experience with Low Inflation
J. Bradford DeLong | U.C. Berkeley and NBER | November 30, 1999
Abstract
The inflation of the 1970's was a marked deviation from America's typical peacetime historical pattern as a hard-money country. We should expect America to continue to be a hard-money--low inflation--country in the future, at least in peacetime. The low rate of future inflation that we thus forecast changes the balance of macroeconomic risks and opportunities. The risk of debt-deflation-mediated recessions is somewhat higher because a low trend rate of goods-and-services price index inflation somewhat increases the chances of deflation. But it does not raise such risks as much as one might think. The failure of the Fisher effect to hold empirically means that a low inflation era will in all likelihood be a high real interest rate era. But such high real interest rates do not appear to significantly discourage investment or growth.

or, A cheap shot.
Is the recent acceleration of American economic growth likely to persist? Could the next generation see the median American material standard of living, as officially measured by the Department of Commerce, rise at something like 3% per year (rather than the 1% or so that we have grown used to since 1973)? And will the next generation see other countries join the world economy's wealthy core not one by one (as Italy joined in the 1960s, Japan in the 1970s, and Korea hopes to join in the next decade) but in battalions?
Maybe.
The next generation might see a return of measured productivity growth to the levels seen back before 1973. It might not. Which will happen depends on the answers to two questions: "Is there really a new economy-an E-conomy-that is materially accelerating economic growth?" and "Will we provide it with the proper support-the proper resources and rules it?"

delong@econ.berkeley.eduNotes for a talk for the Global Business Policy Council Millennium Meeting, Phoenix, AZ, January 13-16 2000
962 words
If the key element of technology in the industrial age was the application of nonhuman energy to production--the creation of tools for shaping matter--the key factor of technology in tomorrow's age looks to be the automation of information--the creation of tools for thought and organization. This doesn't mean that the future will see only innovation in information technologies. But it does mean that innovations in data processing and communication are likely to shape the organization of the economy, and of the rest of society as well.
Let me make four observations about four challenges that it looks like we face as we turn from the end of the second to the beginning of the third millennium, as our new information technologies begin to have a bigger and bigger effect on our world. And let me say that these are challenges that we may or may not successfully meet:
First, where the industrial age has taken us will shape the effects of the revolutions in organization and communication that we expect to be generated by our new data processing and data communications technologies. We now, today, live in a much more productive world than the past--the industrial age has amplified potential human economic productivity and material well-being at least tenfold, perhaps twentyfold--it's hard to even think how to measure how much our material productivity exceeds that of previous centuries. But we also now have a much more unequal world than the past. The imbalance in the diffusion of technology over the past two centuries has been extraordinary.
Our world is now being knit together by data processing and communications technologies. Information processing makes possible new ways of organizing production. Data communications means that there is no reason why a lot of white-collar work cannot be done anywhere in teh world. And India has how many--50 million?--people literate in English. There is an opportunity to use these new technologies to diffuse technology and productivity. There is an opportunity--the opportunity to for the first time create a more human world: a world in which everyone at least learns to read and nobody starves to death. Will we seize this opportunity?
Second, the change in what Manuel Castells calls the technological paradigm is going to carry with it a profound change in industry structure, and in political regulation of industry as well. Now this is not the first time we have seen massive economies of scale and network externalities. A hundred years ago the Gilded Age saw the origin of large-scale industrial enterprise taking advantage of economies of scale, and the consequent problem of how to reap the benefits of both competition and efficient scale.
In the U.S., at least, the Progressive Era saw a tolerable solution: to tolerate oligopoly, but to dissolve monopoly where possible, and to regulate natural monopoly where it could not be resolved. This seemed a reasonable balance: to achieve most of the benefits of competition and most of the benefits of scale economies.
But we no longer have confidence in regulatory authorities. Network externalities do make it easier and easier for the dominant firm to push its market share toward 100%. Thus we face the potential breakdown of the Progressive Era political-economic equilibrium. And governments do not know what to do in response.
Third, we don't know yet how to make the intellectual property system work for the coming e-conomy. Back in the Gilded Age, intellectual property was not such a big deal. Industrial success was based on knowledge, yes. But industrial success was based on knowledge crystalized in dedicated capital. Lots of people knew organic chemistry. Few companies--those that had made massive investments--could make organic chemicals
Now intellectual property is rapidly becoming a much more important source of value. And the political system's response seems to be to tighten up on intellectual property rights. To reinforce the rights of "owners" at the expense of the freedom of "users." The underlying idea is that markets work because everything is someone's property. Property rights give producers the right incentives to make, and users the right incentives to calculate the social cost of what they use.
But with information goods the social cost of distributing information is close to zero. Hence focusing on the rights of owners rather than the opportunities of users may not generate the fastest rate of economic growth, or the greatest wealth. It is far from clear that the political system will successfully handle the task of building the right intellectual property system for tomorrow.
Fourth, high asset valuations are fueling the current wave of investment in data processing and communications technologies. These high asset valuations appear... unstable. The U.S. stock market is characterized by large divergences of opinion. Current .com valuations assume that .coms are going to take massive amounts of market share and profits from existing established firms. But a P/E of 30 for the S&P composite presumes that the profits of established firms are going to grow rapidly.
Both of these can't be true.
So how does this configuration of asset prices sustain itself? Three factors:
- The euphoria that always comes from a sustained economic boom.
- The hazards and difficulties of large-scale short-selling--the only thing that could iron out divergence of opinion.
- Third: the ecology of the market: "growth" has crowded out "value" as an investment strategy.
Which set of beliefs is going to turn out to be wrong? Or will both turn out to be wrong? And what happens after market expectations change? That's the last of the four challenges I see. It will show us how good our central bankers really are.
But remember that--no matter what happens to asset values--the underlying technologies will still be there. And it is the case that societies and cultures are rooted in the structure of the economy, and that the shape of economies is profoundly affected by the technologies they use.
Three Perspectives
- W. Brian Arthur.
- Economies of scale and network externalities.
- Heightened risks and heightened rewards.
- Manuel Castells.
- The economy (and society) are rooted in technological paradigms.
- The industrial economy was rooted in the application of non-human sources of energy to the shaping of matter.
- The network economy will be rooted in the application of modern computing and communications technologies to the shaping of organizations.
- What is a network economy? Think of the transformation of Hollywood over the past fifty years. Then square it.
- J. Bradford DeLong.
- My thoughts are less organized (hence possibly less useful). I have only been able to compress them into five observations.
Five Observations
- First, I agree with Arthur and Castells.
- Economies of scale and network externalities are key to understanding the future.
- A network economy will be profoundly different from the large-scale organization economy that we have lived in for the past hundred years.
- But the problem--and the source of my uncertainty and hesitancy--is the difficulty of specifying how and when.
- Second, where the industrial age has left us will shape the effect of the revolutions in organization and communications
- We now have a much more productive world than the past.
- We now have a much more unequal world than the past.
- And this world is now being knit together by modern communications technologies.
- Third, industry structure is going to change.
- The potential breakdown of the Progressive-Era political-economic equilibrium.
- Fourth, intellectual property is going to be key.
- But we don't know how to make an intellectual property system for the coming e-conomy.
- Fifth, the biggest source of short-run risk is that asset values will.... fluctuate.
- Inconsistent expectations dominate today's financial markets.
Second, Where the Industrial Age Has Carried Us Shapes the Future
- The industrial age amplified potential human economic productivity and material well-being by a multiple hard to imagine.
- We now have a much more productive world than in past centuries.
- In the past, lots of families couldn't afford to send their children to school
- But we also now have a much more unequal world than the past.
- Extraordinary imbalance in the diffusion of technology
- And this world is now being knit together by data processing and communications technologies
- Information processing makes possible new ways of organizing production
- Data communications means that globalization is a reality
- Extraordinary opportunity
- India with 80 million people literate in English
- Danger?
- Is the problem with the WTO that it is too powerful, or too powerless?
- Is that it constrains what national governments can do too much--"erodes national sovereignty"--forcing Europeans to admit genetically-engineered foods from America?
- Or is it that it doesn't constrain what national governments can do enough--doesn't force India, say, to put turtle-excluder-devices on its shrimp boats?
Third, Industry Structure Is Going to Change
- This is not the first time we have seen massive economies of scale and network externalities.
- The Gilded Age: the origin of the large-scale industrial enterprise.
- Attempted political blocking of continent-spanning enterprise: Swift, Armour, and the FDA.
- How to reap the benefits of both competition and efficient scale?
- The solution to the Gilded Age dilemma: the Progressive-Era equilibrium.
- Tolerate oligopoly but dissolve monopoly.
- Thus achieve most of the benefits of competition and most of the benefits of scale economies.
- Regulate natural monopolies with a very heavy hand.
- But we no longer have confidence in regulatory authorities.
- And oligopolies may be becoming less and less sustainable.
- Network externalities do make it easier and easier for the dominant firm to push its market share toward 100%.
Fourth, Intellectual Property Will Be Key
- Back in the Gilded Age, intellectual property was not such a big deal.
- Industrial success based on knowledge, yes.
- But industrial success based on knowledge crystalized into dedicated capital.
- Today capital is becoming less dedicated.
- Knowledge--information--is becoming less constrained by the factory or by finance.
- The political system's response: tighten up on intellectual property rights.
- The idea: markets work because everything is someone's property. Property rights give producers the right incentives to make, and users the right incentives to calculate the social cost of what they use.
- The problem: with information goods the social cost of what users use is close to zero.
- The problem in particularly acute form: AIDS drugs in Africa.
- We want the benefits of decentralized innovation and development.
- We also want users to have wide and easy access.
- Another example: the world wide web.
- Built on an "open source" base: TCP/IP; http://; Apache; et cetera.
- Yet provides enormous opportunities for using these "open source" tools to add value.
- The political system won't reach the right answer.
Fifth, Asset Values Pose the Principal Source of Risk
- Large-scale divergence of opinion.
- .com valuations assume that .coms are going to take massive amounts of market share and profits from existing established firms.
- An S&P composite P/E of 29 is a valuation that presumes that the profits of existing established firms are going to grow rapidly.
- Both of these can't be true.
- Why this configuration of asset prices?
- The current boom.
- Divergence of beliefs (and the hazards and difficulties of large-scale short-selling).
- Market ecology: "growth" has crowded out "value" as an investment strategy.
- So are the "growth" followers trend-chasers or optimists?
- And which set of beliefs--that established firms will use their position or that .com firms will replace them--is going to turn out to be wrong?
- What happens after market expectations change?
- The technology is still there, and still moving...
- When will market expectations change?
- The most likely moment is when the next recession comes.
- But the next recession may be delayed for quite a while.
- Productivity growth, warranted real wage increases, and unemployment.
- Recessions come--at least since 1950--when the Federal Reserve decides that it is time to fight inflation.
A taste of things to come,
or, A cheap shot.

Many years ago I was reading A Fire Upon the Deep, a science fiction novel by Vernor Vinge, and I was curious about where Vinge had gotten the name "Qeng Ho"--which in the novel was the name of a group to which the protagonist had belonged in the distant past. So I went downstairs to my then newly-acquired copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica and looked up "Qeng Ho."
I found nothing.
But were I looking not eight years ago but today, instead of going downstairs I would lean to my left, type http://www.britannica.com/ into my web browser, type "Qeng Ho" into the search box, press "RETURN", and thus immediately search not just the full text of the Encyclopedia Britannica but also the internet, a collection of 70 magazines, and also Barnes and Noble's database of books.
Smack at the top center of the results page would be what I was looking for: the Encyclopedia Britannica's article on the fifteenth-century Chinese admiral Cheng Ho [or Zheng He, depending on how you like your Chinese characters Romanized].
The first thing I would discover was that Vernor Vinge had committed an error: he had tried to update the name Cheng Ho from the Wade-Giles to the Pinyin Romanization using the rule "ch goes to q," but he had been wrong--in this case the rules are "ch goes to zh" (as from Chou En-Lai to Zhou Enlai) and "o goes to e." No wonder my first long-ago search--flipping open the Britannica and looking under "Qeng"--had gotten nowhere. And I was impressed that britannica.com's search engine software was sophisticated enough to deal with this problem.
The Eunuch Admiral Cheng Ho
The second thing that I would learn (or would have learned, had I not learned about Cheng Ho from other channels in the intervening years) is that Cheng Ho was a eunuch, a close confidant of the Yung-lo Emperor of China, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and a famous admiral who with 30,000 men and seventy ships explored the coasts of Asia and Africa a century before the Portuguese were to "discover" the Indian Ocean. (Compare these numbers to the twenty ships and 3,000 men of Vasco da Gama's second voyage).
In seven voyages over twenty-eight years Cheng Ho's ships explored Africa as far south as the Mozambique channel, the Red Sea as far north as Egypt, Arabia, the Persian Gulf, Persia, India, Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, and Southeast Asia. He brought back giraffes, envoys from more than thirty kingdoms, other presents, and the occasional king--King Alagonakkara of Ceylon was brought back to China to apologize to the Yung-lo Emperor.
These missions extended China's political sway over maritime Asia. But they did not lead to the establishment of trading empires: Cheng Ho was an admiral and an official, not a merchant. Think of his expeditions as the equivalent of the Apollo project for Ming Dynasty China: they flattered the Yung-lo Emperor's vanity, were impressive demonstrations of organizational capability and technological might (to sail a round trip of 10,000 miles at a moment when the Portuguese had not even reached the Senegal River or the Cape Verde Islands), and might eventually have led to more things had politics not intervened.
In 1424 the Yung-lo Emperor died. His successor, the Hung-hsi Emperor, decided to curb eunuch faction influence. One tool in this was the suspension of naval expeditions. Cheng Ho made one more voyage under the Hung-hsi Emperor. And Chinese naval exploration was never resumed.
All this I would have found out in less than eight minutes after typing in my query, had I had today's internet rather than yesterday's Encyclopedia Britannica when I went voyaging for information.
Voyages of Intellectual Exploration
I was thrilled to get my paper Encyclopedia Britannica. It cost me $1500--that is, the Britannica company wanted to pay me and asked if I wanted an encyclopedia or some cash. It seemed worth every penny. For a while I would go down and look at it every day, running down a reference or flipping through random pages. It was still the resources that I went to when I ran across something unfamiliar until last year--until the coming of http://www.britannica.com/ to the internet.
Yet now my paper copy is gathering dust. It has been replaced. Reading on a screen is hard, but so is reading small print. On my computer I can make britannica.com's print as large as I want, so it is actually easier to read on the screen than in the book.
And the search engines! You need a flat place to open at least five volumes if you are going to do a comprehensive job of searching the paper encyclopedia. By contrast, the first search brings up all the references in the whole encyclopedia text on the very first screen. Plus there are the references to magazine articles and websites (though truth to tell, I haven't found much in the magazine references yet, and http://www.google.com/ seems a better internet search engine).
All in all, there is no doubt in my mind that http://www.britannica.com/ is a superior intellectual product. And one thing more: it's free.

One may hope that ----- PING: TITLE:There is no doubt about it: intellectual capabilities that were expensive--to the tune of $1500--a decade ago are now free. http://www.britannica.com/ is open for no extra charge to anyone with a computer, an internet connection, and a web browser. For most people access to the Encyclopedia Britannia is not worth the $1500 it used to cost: we know this because most people did not buy the Encyclopedia Britannica. Still, it is worth something. If it is worth an average of $100 per household to Americans, than we all are now $8 billion richer as a result of the decision to put http://www.britannica.com/ online. If it is worth an average of $500 per households (as it may well be) then we all are now $40 billion richer--that is one-half of one percent of a year's GDP.
Suppose that you go to me, or any other economist, and ask: "How is this increase in national wealth from the fact that http://www.britannica.com/ exists measured in the GDP accounts?" What answer do you get? The answer you get is a surprising one: for it doesn't enter the GDP accounts at all. GDP measures the market value (either at today's or at some base year's prices) of all goods and services produced in the U.S. and sold to the government, to investing firms, to foreigners, or to consuming households. When you or I access http://www.britannica.com/ on the internet, nothing is sold. So a big fat zero is added to the GDP accounts.
The most recent estimate of economic growth was that in the fourth quarter of 1999 U.S. real GDP grew at a rate of 6.9% per year. But this number expressly does not include any adjustment for the increase in consumer welfare as more and more households discover britannica.com. Is this example extraordinar? I don't think so. Is it typical? I don't think that it is typical--at least not yet.
I really don't know how much the fact that our system of national accounts has no place to put the value to consumers of things like http://www.britannica.com/ is leading our official statistics to understate the current pace of economic growth...

Surfing across the web, I was surprised to find Sloan School Dean Richard Schmalensee (in David Evans and Richard Schmalensee (2000), "Be Nice to Your Rivals: How the Government Is Selling an Antitrust Case Without Consumer Harm in United States v. Microsoft," pp. 45-86 in Robert Hahn and Robert Litan, eds., (2000), Did Microsoft Harm Consumers?: Two Opposing Views (Washington: Brookings-AEI: 0844771511)) claim that none of the actions for which Microsoft's is being tried harmed consumers. Schmalensee and his coauthor David Evans claim that "in United States v.

Twenty five years ago you could indeed powerfully argue that on a fundamental level the world economy was not working. It was generating better technology and more output, yes, but was it making good use of that output to advance social welfare? It seemed as though the answer was no, at least not for the poorer half of the people on the globe. As time passed the world was becoming richer, but it also became a massively more unequal place. The difference in living standards, productivity levels, and life chances between rich and poor parts of the world was greater in 1975 than it had been in 1925, and vastly greater in 1975 than it had been in 1800.
Since 1975, however, we have turned a very important corner. As Yale economist T. Paul Schultz was the first (to my knowledge) to point out, since 1975 global inequality in personal incomes has not been rising but falling. Since 1975 the world has not only become a richer place, but the world's poor have seen their incomes grow faster than the world's rich.

by Michael Froomkin and Brad DeLong
Two and a quarter centuries ago the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith used a particular metaphor to describe the competitive market system, a metaphor which still resonates today. He saw the competitive market as a system in which:
"...every individual... endeavours as much as he can... to direct... industry so that its produce may be of the greatest value.... neither intend[ing] to promote the public interest, nor know[ing] how much he is promoting it.... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end that was no part of his intention.... By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it..."
Adam Smith's claim back in 1776 that the market system promoted the general good was new. Today it is one of the most frequently-heard commonplaces. For Adam Smith's praise of the market as a social mechanism for regulating the economy was the opening shot of a grand campaign to reform how politicians and governments looked at the economy. The campaign waged by Adam Smith and his successors was completely successful. The past two centuries have seen his doctrines woven into the fabric of how our society works. It is hard to even begin to think about our society without basing one's thought to some degree on Adam Smith. And the governments that have followed the path Adam Smith laid down today preside over economies that are more materially prosperous and technologically powerful than ever before seen.
Belief in free trade, an aversion to price controls, freedom of occupation, freedom of domicile, freedom of enterprise, and the other corollaries of belief in Smith's invisible hand have today become the background assumptions for thought about the relationship between the government and the economy. A free-market system, economists claim and most participants in capitalism believe, generates a level of total economic product that is as high as possible--and is certainly higher than under any alternative system that any branch of humanity has conceived and attempted to implement. It is even possible to prove the "efficiency" of a competitive market--albeit under restrictive technical assumptions.
The lesson usually drawn from this economic success story is laissez-faire, laissez-passer: in the overwhelming majority of cases the best thing the government can do for the economy is simply to leave it alone. Define property rights, set up honest courts, perhaps rearrange the distribution of income, impose minor taxes and subsidies to compensate for well-defined and narrowly-specified "market failures"--but otherwise the economic role of the government is to disappear. The main argument for a free competitive market system is the dual role played by prices. On the one hand, prices serve to ration demand: anyone unwilling to pay the market price because he or she would rather do other things with his or her (not unlimited) money does not get the good (or service). On the other hand, price serves to elicit production: any organization that can make a good (or provide a service) for less than its market price has a powerful financial incentive to do so. Thus what is produced goes to those who value it the most. What is produced is made by the organizations that can make it the cheapest. And what is produced is whatever the ultimate users value the most.
You can criticize the market system because it undermines the values of community and solidarity. You can criticize the market system because it is unfair--for it gives good things to those who have control over whatever resources turn out to be most scarce as society solves its production allocation problem, not to those who have any moral right to good things. But--at least under the conditions economists have for two and a quarter centuries first implicitly and more recently explicitly assumed--you cannot criticize the market system for being unproductive.
Adam Smith's case for the invisible hand so briefly summarized above will be familiar to almost all readers: it is one of the foundation-stones of our civilization's social thought. Our purpose in this chapter is to shake these foundations--or at least to make readers aware that the changes in technology now going on as a result of the revolutions in data processing and data communications may shake these foundations. Unexpressed but implicit in Adam Smith's argument for the efficiency of the market system are assumptions about the nature of goods and services and the process of exchange--assumptions that fit reality less well today than they did back in Adam Smith's day. Moreover, these implicit underlying assumptions are likely to fit the "new economy" of the future even less well than they fit the economy of today...

Evil companies fall out of favour with investors
"Evil doesn’t pay." This statement becomes increasingly accurate as the combination of terrorist activity, product failure and the turning tide of public opinion plays havoc with the fortunes of evil companies. The Evil 100 Index, which tracks the share prices of such prominent Evil companies as Omni Consumer Products, Tyrell Corporation and Cohagen Off-Earth Air Enterprise, has taken a beating; lately, its key movers have all been moving down.
"The public questions the morality of companies whose mission statements list 'ultimate world domination' amongst their management goals."
Increasingly, the public questions the morality of companies whose mission statements list "ultimate world domination" amongst their management goals. Just months ago similarl tough-talk wooed investors into the sector, and it seemed that an investment in evil was a one-way ticket to fabulous wealth and power.
This tide of negative market opinion coincides with the failure of a number of key Evil products. Omni Consumer Products (OCP), a long-time bellwether stock of the Evil 100, has revealed profits tumbling to an all-time low. This follows the disappointing and bloody launch of their latest urban pacification unit ED-209.
According to one analyst, when the malfunctioning ED-209 unit gunned down senior executive Mr.Kinney during a board meeting, it "metaphorically gunned down OCP’s share price."
Analyst Oliver Spummer, of investment bank Handy Dandy Damp & Pry, told ShareSite: "OCP's attempt to explain away the malfunction of its ED-209 model as 'just a glitch' has not pacified any of its investors. It's just too late for soft words - even the fact that they had twenty years of military sales and spare parts contracts isn't enough to cheer investors."
Tyrell Corporation suffers despite the continued success of its replicant manufacture business. Its share price has been dragged down in the wake of it's fellow evil companies as they plummet from recent historic highs.
A bitter Tyrell Corporation representative told ShareSite, "Our profits have never been better. We are a victim of the misfortune and mismanagement of other Evil firms."
The representative was quick to mention Cohagen Off-Earth Air Enterprise; the Mars-based air supplier was recently blown out of the Wazdaq and out of existence by terrorist activities, denting investor confidence in the Evil sector as a whole.
"Air supply was big business," a former Cohagen employee commented. "But when that meat-head Douglas Quaid found and activated the ancient Martian air-generation unit, we were doomed. Now I'm unemployed - but what can I do? Air supply is all I know! It's almost impossible to sell air to people who get it for free!"
However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the Evil 100 companies: Carver Media Group has announced a plan to fire nuclear warheads at Beijing, Weyland-Yutani ("The Company") is rumoured to be shipping a deadly alien species back to Earth for a series of gravely hazardous experiments and Cyberdyne Systems have proudly announced that their SkyNet super-computer has become self-aware.
Meanwhile, OCP remains bullish. "We have always dabbled in industries traditionally seen as non-profitable," said OCP Vice President Dick Jones.

Abstract
International monetary and financial policies were at the center of the activities of the Clinton administration for two reasons: first, its own political failures destroyed the administation's ability to make large moves in domestic policy; second, ongoing globalization raised the stakes in international economic policy. From one perspective, the administration's monetary and financial policies as extraordinarily successful. The U.S. experienced one of the longest, strongest expansions in history, and largely as a result of the U.S.- and IMF-led response, the financial crises of the period did not produce more than transitory interruptions of economic growth in any advanced economy and in any emerging market except Indonesia.
A surprising number of virulent financial crises struck the world economy in the 1990s. Because these crises followed a new pattern, they surprised policy makers in Washington as in other parts of the world. The response therefore had to be assembled on the run. It can and has been criticized, but the criticisms are less important than the fact that the IMF and the U.S. Treasury did make substantial loans to crisis-affected countries, that these loans greatly eased the process of adjustment and recovery.
Yet with 20-20 hindsight we can see that the causes of these crises were not in fact that new. The dangers of fickle animal spirits causing destabilizing capital flows, the vulnerability of investment to crony capitalism, how poor banking sector regulation can generate an international financial crisis, how the existence of resources to provide support and rescue funds in a crisis could lead the private sector to hold imprudent portfolios that increased the risk to the system--these were issues that John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White had wrestled with in the negotiations that culminated in the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, that Austria's Credit-Anstalt crisis in 1931 had exhibited in classic form, that had been the subject of a classic study by Ragnar Nurkse in the 1940s...

CITRIS Kickoff: The New Economy
For perhaps 9000 years after the beginnings of agriculture the overwhelming proportion of human work lives were spent making things: growing crops, shearing sheep, spinning yarn, weaving cloth, throwing pots, cutting down trees, copying books, and so on, and so forth. Technology did improve enormously over those 9000 years: contrast the clothes-making technology at the disposal of Henry VIII of England with that of Rameses II of Egypt three thousand years before; contrast the triple-crop paddy-irrigated rice- and water-control-based agriculture of the Yangtze Delta in eighteenth-century China with the scratch-the-soil-with-a-hoe agriculture of two thousand years before. But as Thomas Robert Malthus first wrote in the 1790s, rising populations had put enough pressure on scarce natural resources to offset the benefits of better technology and keep living standards nearly constant for the people if not for the elite: American President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 A.D. certainly enjoyed a higher standard of living than Roman Consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in 63 B.C. But did Jefferson's slaves enjoy a higher standard of living than Cicero's? A large amount of archeological evidence has not yet found significant differences.
For the past two hundred and fifty years, since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the productivity of those workers who make things has exploded. Hand-spinners in the eighteenth century took 50,000 hours--20 full work-years--to spin 100 lbs of cotton into thread (Freeman and Louca (2001), and spinning of one sort or another took up perhaps 5% of total labor-time. Today it takes 40 work hours to spin 100 lbs. of cotton: a more than thousand-fold amplification of productivity in this one task...

South Korea is now clearly to be counted as among the "industrial" rather than the "developing" countries. If you believe these numbers, then living standards and productivity levels in China and the Philippines today are roughly equivalent to those of the United States in 1925; living standards and productivity levels in India today are roughly equivalent to those of the United States in 1880. Real GDP per capita in Nigeria is now 1/4 of the level of India and 1/7 the level of China. In 1950 Nigeria was arguably the more developed and more prosperous economy. ----- EXTENDED BODY: ----- EXCERPT: ----- PING: TITLE: Bureaucracy and its Benefits URL: http://fiachra.soc.arizona.edu/blog/archives/000051.html IP: 128.196.44.179 BLOG NAME: Kieran Healy's Weblog DATE: 07/29/2002 04:16:39 PM A thoughtful column from Tom Friedman ----- PING: TITLE: More on Post-War Economics URL: http://fiachra.soc.arizona.edu/blog/archives/000061.html IP: 128.196.44.179 BLOG NAME: Kieran Healy's Weblog DATE: 08/11/2002 10:26:40 PM Michael Bernstein's new book on the American Economics profession. ----- PING: TITLE: More on Post-War Economics URL: http://fiachra.soc.arizona.edu/blog/archives/000061.html IP: 128.196.44.179 BLOG NAME: Kieran Healy's Weblog DATE: 08/11/2002 10:29:53 PM Michael Bernstein's new book on the American Economics profession. ----- PING: TITLE: More on Post-War Economics URL: http://fiachra.soc.arizona.edu/blog/archives/000061.html IP: 128.196.44.179 BLOG NAME: Kieran Healy's Weblog DATE: 08/11/2002 10:36:54 PM Michael Bernstein's new book on the American Economics profession. ----- PING: TITLE: All Stalin, All the Time URL: http://www.matthewyglesias.com/archives/000386.html IP: 64.21.178.2 BLOG NAME: Matthew Yglesias DATE: 08/14/2002 08:35:08 AM Brad DeLong says I'm all wrong in this here post about dropping the whole Hitler vs. Stalin debate.

STATUS: Draft ALLOW COMMENTS: 1 CONVERT BREAKS: 0 ALLOW PINGS: 1 PRIMARY CATEGORY: Economists: Krugman CATEGORY: Economists: Krugman DATE: 11/12/2001 12:09:16 PM ----- BODY:Krugman the Partisan
Paul Krugman: An Equal Opportunity Critic of Government (November 27, 2001):
Every once in a while I read something about how Paul Krugman is the most partisan Democrat alive: someone who would rip the throat out of any Republican, while cuddling up to any Democrat, regardless of the merits of the case. The first thing I do is wonder how short people's memories are. The second thing I do is wonder why people don't make better use of Lexis-Nexis to research what Paul has written. For Paul's animus is not directed against Republicans, it is directed against people in government who--in Krugman's eyes--do stupid things and then play fast and loose with the truth in order to try to fuzz the issue.
In fact, I remember well when Paul Krugman's fangs-bared attacks were launched against... Democrats... me, in fact... or, rather, against my bosses in the Clinton Treasury--for I was just a spear-carrier, qualified to conduct analyses of what the likely effects of alternative policies would be, but not a maker of High Policy myself.
Paul Krugman (1994), Peddling Prosperity: Economic Sense and Nonsense in the Age of Diminished Expectations (New York: Norton: 0393312925).
p. 289: "Imagine the following scenario.... The strategic traders in the Clinton administration nonetheless present their demands at an economic summit--and the Japanese reject them... there is no real policy option other than to close U.S. markets to Japanese goods. And so protectionism it is.... Within two years the results of four decades of negotiations to open world markets are reversed. An unlikely scenario? At the time of writing, much of it had already happened. The Treasury Department is usually a bastion of free trade thinking, but in May 1993 Lawrence Summers... Undersecretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, asserted... 'Japan's surplus is the major asymmetry in the global economy' and that this surplus was a 'significant drag on global growth'.... [Thus] '[t]he United States will focus less on process and more on results, and results have to be measurable.' Everyone knew what he meant: the U.S. Trade Representative had for weeks been telling reporters that the United States was likely to demand that Japan impose a ceiling on its trade surplus..."
This claim that the U.S. executive branch's policy toward Japan was one of global protectionist mercantilism, of quotas and barriers is overstated: it is Paul Krugman in attack mode, concerned not so much with being completely fair to his target as with trying to push his target in the right direction, or to undermine his target's influence in the long run. Sometimes Krugman in attack mode is fully justified--consider the Bush II tax cut, or the Bush II outbreak of protectionism. But it doesn't seem to me to be fully justified in this case.
How do I know that Paul's claim is overstated, and not fully justified? I have in my files a Treasury memo from June 22, 1993, in which the desired direction of U.S. international economic policy is set out in preparation for Lawrence Summers's Article IV meeting with the IMF staff that took place on June 23, 1993. The U.S. government's policy was to "seek removal of structural barriers that impede imports to Japan," but to avoid any recourse to quotas: "statistical goals should be used as indicators of [the] success [of policy changes to reduce structural barriers], not as ends in themselves." There was definitely daylight between a policy of outright protectionism and the Clinton administration's policy--to try to redivide the surplus from U.S.-Japan trade through pressuring Japan to remove structural barriers to imports.
But on a deeper level, even though Paul Krugman's claim that there was no daylight between Clinton policy and out-and-out Japan-bashing protectionism was overstated (for in our minds then and in my view now that daylight was definitely there), his influence on the overall policy process was constructive. There was less daylight between the two than Paul Krugman (or I) would have wished. There was a danger that that daylight would vanish. It was, after all, an administration in which the President could decide to put Ira Magaziner--a man whose liking for administrative controls appeared boundless--in charge of an inter-agency task force to shrink the U.S. trade deficit.
Krugman asserted identity where there was only similarity (albeit enough similarity to at the time make me nervous), and his fears and arguments helped prevent the identity and lessen the similarity.
Excerpts from DeLong memo of June 22, 1993, reporting Treasury OASIA talking points for the June 23, 1993 Under Secretary Summers-IMF staff Article IV meeting:

- The current account deficit is largely a cyclical story, but we are very discouraged by slow growth in major export markets.
- U.S. concern over the current account would rise if there were:
- continued growth disparities with Japan and Europe that fueled a persistent widening of the deficit.
- exchange market pressures that threatened to force the U.S. to raise interest rates.
- The President has demonstrated his commitment to the Uruguay Round by seeking Fast Track authority that would mean the conclusion of negotiations by December 15.
- We are working hard to complete negotiations on NAFTA supplemental agreements to ensure its implementation on January 1, 1994.
- We seek removal of structural barriers that impede imports into Japan.
- We have suggested that as far as Japan’s openness to imports is concerned, statistical goals should be used as indicators of success, not as ends unto themselves.
- U.S. monetary authorities have bought dollars against yen on five recent occasions to dispel volatility and market misperception of exchange rate policy.
- The U.S. is not pursuing a dollar depreciation policy.
- Successful G-7 policy coordination requires that:
- Japan sustain fiscal stimulus.
- Europe reduce interest rates.
- The United States implement the President’s deficit-reduction program.
- With respect to overseas development assistance, the United States faces serious budget constraints, is placing increased emphasis on the quality and effectiveness of our developmental assistance, and will increasingly target development assistance to support poverty reduction, human rights, democracy, environmental protection, and access to social services
The Macroeconomic Outlook for 2002
With the terror attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, winter came to the world economy. Both the direct and the indirect effects of the terror attack, coupled with the already existing sources of weakness--from the collapse of the dot-com bubble in the United States, from European interest rates too high in the interest of strengthening the new euro in the short run, from the resumption of recession in Japan--promise to make the twelve months following September 11 the worse twelve months for world economic growth since the early 1980s. We do not know how harsh this winter will be, but we do know that we are in it.
However, winter will pass and spring will come. The second half of the 1990s--even with all their speculative excess--revealed that the fundamental economic benefits from the technological revolutions in data processing and data communications (and from the coming technological revolution in biotechnology) are enormous and promise a bright long-run future for the growth of the world economy. There is every reason to hope that world governments will get their macroeconomic policies right in 2002, and that starting in 2003 the world economy will once again begin to fulfill the promise of more rapid economic growth.

Start with the collapse of confidence on the part of international currency speculators in the long-run values of the Mexican peso, the baht, the won, the ringit, the rupiah, the Brazilian real, the Argentinian peso, and the Turkish lira. What were the origins of the crisis? Why did governments and central banks afflicted by crisis find themselves forced to let their exchange rates rise--to let the value of their domestic currency rise? Why did they find themselves forced to raise interest rates? Why were they unable to keep output and employment from falling? Why were they so anxious to borrow money from the IMF during the crisis? And what was the rationale for the policy changes the IMF then demanded from crisis-afflicted countries before it would provide them with emergency loan support?
The standard models taught in intermediate macro--flexible-price full-employment, IS-LM, Mundell-Fleming--are of absolutely no help.
So I have taken a crack at writing down such an intermediate macro-level discussion of the developing world international financial crises of the 1990s. It uses an open-economy IS-curve model with an investment function that depends both on the real interest rate and the degree of currency-mismatch and depreciation-driven financial crisis to explain these crises at an intermediate macro level.
Unfortunately, I don't think that I have succeeded. It is too long (4000 words). It is too heavy on the algebra: it fails to achieve that balance between verbal description of economic forces, visual diagrams, and algebraic equations necessary for intermediate macro-level discussions to be both comprehensible and comprehensive. And it does not have enough "hooks" into the actual events of the crises of the 1990s: it is far too abstract.

----- EXTENDED BODY: ----- EXCERPT: ----- -------- AUTHOR: DeLong TITLE: Places Where the Lord of the Rings Movie Is Superior to the Book STATUS: Publish ALLOW COMMENTS: 1 CONVERT BREAKS: 0 ALLOW PINGS: 0 PRIMARY CATEGORY: Life CATEGORY: Life DATE: 01/02/2002 10:24:00 AM ----- BODY:I'm sick and tired of reading about how the Lord of the Rings movie is different from the book and hence inferior, so I thought I would start keeping a list of elements in Peter Jackson's movie that I think (and that others think) are clearly superior to their counterparts in Tolkien's book:
Improvement in the Logic of the Plot: Galadriel's opening, explaining just how it happens to be that the ring is still around--just why Isildur did not wish to/could not destroy it: "But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the ring has a will of its own."
Improvement in Characterization: Gandalf's panic when he discovers that it is indeed the One Ring that Frodo possesses, and Gandalf's desperate desire to seek help, especially the help of his friend, mentor, and leader Saruman, for "he is both wise and powerful. He will know what to do."
Major Plot Hole Closed: Recall what happens in the book when Gandalf discovers that Frodo has the One Ring. Gandalf keeps the news a secret, and tells Frodo, "Hang out in the Shire for six months or so, and then we will all mosey on off toward Rivendell." This makes no sense. Gandalf's first reaction to learning the identity of the ring should be to get it to a safe location. His second reaction should be to seek help. As long as Gandalf is ignorant of the Treason of Isengard, he should immediately inform the other Maia- and near-Maia-class good guys in Middle Earth--Saruman, Rhadagast, the Blue Wizards, Cirdan, Elrond, Glorfindel, and Galadriel--of what is going on. Instead, in the book he tells nothing to anyone save Aragorn. The only reason that Elrond has scouts out is that Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod sends back a message that Frodo is bearing a "great burden without guidance"--but I do not believe that Gildor knows what the burden is. By contrast, in the movie Gandalf's reaction to discovering the identity of the Ring is to immediately try to mobilize the White Council, and get the Wise thinking about what needs to be done. He rides to Isengard to tell Saruman what he has learned and get help. In the book, it genuinely does seem as if, as Saruman tells Gandalf, "your love of the halfling's leaf has clouded your mind."
(Adrian Hon) Improvement in Characterization: The excission of Tom Bombadil.
Improvement in Characterization: The replacement of Glorfindel by Arwen in the "flight to the ford" sequence. Given how powerful Glorfindel is said to be in the book, his failure to play any role at all in the rest of the trilogy is a big puzzle: this is, after all, the same guy who fought Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, to a standstill during the fall of Gondolin.
Improvement in Characterization: Elrond's view of human "weakness" as revealed by his comments about men and his detailed memories of Isildur's unwillingness to/inability to destroy the ring.
Improvement in Plot: The byplay between Elrond and Gandalf, in which Gandalf says that the hobbits have already done much more than could possibly be asked of them, and that they deserve to return to the Shire. Elrond responds that with the treason of Isengard "the list of our allies grows thin," and that the Wise need to use every weapon they have--and the stubborn resistance of hobbits to the ring's evil is one of those weapons.
Improvement in Characterization: Aragorn's fear in Rivendell that he will prove too weak, just as his ancestor Isildur proved too weak when the test came.
(Dian Tarb) Improvement in Characterization: Aragorn's visible reluctance to be king and uncertainty about whether he was worthy to be king added depth to the character.
Improvement in Characterization: The sharpening of the Aragorn-Boromir conflict: "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king."
(Jane Falconer) Improvement in Characterization: The added depth provided by the scenes in Rivendell to Frodo's decision to volunteer to take the ring to Mordor.
(Dian Tarb) Improvement in Plot: The details of the treason of Isengard, the creation of the Uruk-Hai, and the ecological devastation wrought by Saruman. Thus the appearance of the Uruk-Hai and the Ents in the Two Towers will not come as such a surprise: In the book Tolkien makes almost no effort to prepare us for either.
(Adrian Hon) Improvement in Characterization: The transformation of Isengard into a war city is extremely well done.
Improvement in Plot: Saruman casting his spells from the tower of Orthanc to affect the weather on Caradhras.
(Adrian Hon) Improvement in Plot: The Moria scenes.
Major Plot Hole Closed: In the book Gandalf does not know what it is he faces in Moria until the Bridge of Khazad-Dum itself. He says things like "its power was terrible." But it doesn't seem to occur to him that it is the--well-known to both Gimli and Legolas as Durin's Bane--balrog. Are we really expected to believe that Olorin the Maia does not recognize the feel of the power of another Maia? In the movie, it is pretty clear that both Saruman and Gandalf know well what lurks at the bottom of Moria--and thus why Gandalf is so reluctant to take the Moria road. The plot hangs together better if Gandalf knows that inside the Mines of Moria is one of the other Maia-class beings in Middle-Earth, knows that it is one of the very few things in Middle-Earth that might well be able to kill him, and thus knows what he is getting into when he enters the Black Pit.
Improvement in Plot: Galadriel's warning that the ring is beginning to work its corrupting effect on all the big people in the fellowship--that the whole thing (not just Boromir) is beginning to break. The result is a much clearer motivation of Frodo's decision to strike off for Mordor on his own.
Improvement in Plot: Galadriel's message to Samwise: that there is still hope as long as he, Samwise, remains true to Frodo.
(Jane Falconer) Improvement in Characterization: Boromir's death as the moment when Aragorn realizes that he cannot avoid taking on the burden of kingship: even though he fears it, it is his burden to try to bear.
Improvement in Characterization: Boromir's death sequence, and his swearing allegiance to Aragorn as "my brother, my captain, and my king"; coupled with Aragorn's oath not to let the White City fall.
Major Plot Hole Closed: In the book, why doesn't Aragorn follow Frodo and Sam when they strike out for Mordor? Destroying the ring is job 1. Thus helping the ringbearer is job 1.1. Aragorn's sword might well make the difference, so he should be following them as they strike out from Anduin for Mordor (if only to protect them from Gollum). In the movie, however, Frodo explicitly tells Aragorn that he can be of no further help: men are weak, and the one thing Aragorn cannot protect Frodo against is a ring-maddened Aragorn. Thus the best thing that Aragorn can do is get out of the zone of influence of the ring so it cannot corrupt him. In addition, in the movie Aragorn swears to Boromir as Boromir dies that Aragorn will not let the White City (of Minas Tirith) fall. Thus there are two powerful and explicit reasons for Aragorn to let Frodo go. By contrast, in the book this decision is not well motivated at all: I remember that when I first read the Two Towers, my reaction to learning at its beginning that Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were heading *away* from the ring at full speed was "huh?"

SEN. EDWARDS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon, Mr. Attorney General.
ATTY GEN. ASHCROFT: Good afternoon.
SEN. EDWARDS: Appreciate your patience. I know this has been a long hearing. We want very badly to make sure that you have the tools you need to protect the American people, including new laws and new measures. But while we are protecting American lives we also need to be certain that we protect American values and American principles. And it seems to me that these times of crisis and times of war are times when those principles and values are most at risk, when people get caught up in the passion of doing what's necessary under the circumstances. We have seen in the past during World War II the internment of over 100,000 Japanese Americans by a great president. And I am sure at that time that was a very popular move. But it is not something I don't think that we are very proud of today. And I am not suggesting that these military tribunals are equivalent to that, but whatever we do I want to make sure that your children and mine and our grandchildren will be proud of what we have done. And my concern about the whole issue of military tribunals is not the notion of using them. I can easily see that there would be circumstances in which it would make sense to use them. My concern is that this directive, this order, is extraordinarily broad. And I want to ask you about three or four areas, if I can, to see if we can make sure that some of the things that the order would appear to allow in fact are not something that you intended or intend to do...

or, A cheap shot.
A couple of years ago I was one of many co-authors of an article, "Access and Innovation Policy for the Third-Generation Internet," that begged and pleaded with the FCC to mandate competition in the business of providing cable-modem customers with internet connectivity. The FCC appeared on the point of allowing cable companies to deliver their cable-modem internet customers, hogtied, to a single monopoly Internet Service Provider (ISP) chosen by the cable company. This was in striking contradiction to the regulatory thrust of the past two generations, which had required natural monopolies to open up their services and provide a level playing field to all who wished to connect and compete for the business of their customers.
The FCC did indeed decide to let cable-modem companies--in my case, ATT--require that I purchase ISP services from its choice of one and only one provider: @Home. This did indeed have the effects of diminishing the pace of innovation and the quality of service: since I couldn't go elsewhere and still use my broadband cable-modem connection, what incentive did @Home have to care? But the absence of competition had still worse effects. @Home crashed into bankruptcy. Because it had been the monopoly supplier of ISP services, there was no alternative provider to whom I could switch as it became clearer and clearer that @Home's days were numbered. My house lost its internet connectivity for the better part of a week after @Home's collapse as ATT struggled to set up its own ISP network.
And now it turns out that ATT is acting exactly like @Home with respect to the pace of innovation and the quality of service. I'm still a captive customer, after all: what incentive does ATT Broadband Interactive have to care?
This was brought home to me when, three days after the new ATT network was up and running, my ability to connect to U.C. Berkeley's email servers suddenly vanished. I poked around Berkeley, and found that ATT's Domain Name Servers (DNS) were not properly reporting my internet address--12-233-31-156.client.attbi.com--when queried by Berkeley's servers. Berkeley reported that I should
...send the following information to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) so that they can resolve the problem:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There may be a problem with the Domain Name Resolution associated with the IP/hostname that your user is using to connect to our system, uclink.berkeley.edu.
When the user first contacts us, we see from his/her environment:IP Address = 12.233.31.156
Hostname = 12-233-31-156.client.attbi.comWe then use DNS routines to verify this information.
gethostbyaddr shows: 12.233.31.156
gethostbyname shows:This conflict means that we cannot do reverse name lookup for your user and they are unable to access our system.
I did so. I asked ATT Broadband Internet to fix its DNS configuration.
ATT Broadband Intenet responded with a completely uninformative message that ended: "you may still reply to this e-mail with unanswered questions." I resent my request that ATT Broadband Internet fix its DNS configuration. ATT Broadband Interactive replied:
Dear AT&T Broadband customer,
Thank you for writing to AT&T Broadband Internet.
The AT&T Message Center is a Web-based interface for using e-mail. This means that you can read messages, send messages, reply to messages, forward messages, and send attachments within your Web browser. There is no need to start up a separate e-mail program. Simply visit the AT&T Message Center at www.attbi.com, click on the E-mail tab, and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: The AT&T Message Center makes use of cookies. Your browser must be enabled to receive cookies (it probably already is), and if prompted, you must agree to accept cookies in order to use the AT&T Message Center. You can leave the AT&T Message Center simply by entering another URL in the location field of your browser or by choosing the Logout button on the navigation bar. This second method will effectively delete the cookie from your computer for the AT&T Message Center, but will not affect cookies that may be stored on your computer for any other Web sites.
Benefits:
--E-mail can be accessed directly from the Web instead of an e-mail program.
Features:
--Spell Check: Prior to sending a message, check the spelling in the message by choosing the Spell Check button. After choosing the button, a window opens with a copy of the message. Any word not in the main dictionary will be underlined. Choose the underlined word and the alternative spellings(if there are any) will be shown below. After selecting or typing in an alternate spelling, the options to Replace the word, Replace All, Ignore, or Close Spell Check, become available
--Address Book: The Address Book allows quick and easy management of names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and notes. The addresses are automatically organized alphabetically by last name
--SentMail Folder: The SentMail folder shows a list of all e-mail that has been sent using the AT&T Message Center
--Trash Folder: The Trash folder will keep all deleted messages. This helps to avoid the accidental deletion of e-mail. The Trash folder can be emptied to permanently remove the messages
--Signature: A signature is a block of text, which may be included at the end of outgoing messages. The signature can include a name, e-mail address, or any other text. Normally signatures are short, i.e., no more than a few lines.
AT&T Message Center users can create, store, and edit up to three signatures. To create a signature, choose the OPTIONS button on the navigation bar.
A default signature can be selected, and can be changed by selecting a different signature from the drop-down menu on the Compose page. Note: If a drop-down menu is not available after creating and saving the signature, it may mean that the Web browser does not have JavaScript enabled or does not support full JavaScript functionality.
Example of a signature:
First and Last Name, my_email@attbi.com
My Web site URL: http://www.myhomepage.com/~my_email
--Internet Access to E-mail: This feature allows access to AT&T Broadband Internet Service e-mail directly from the Web without being connected to AT&T Broadband Internet Service.
Note: To begin using this feature, connect to the AT&T Broadband Internet Service, and register for it in Member Services. After registering, e-mail may now be accessed from the AT&T Message Center using any Internet connection and a Web browser
Here is a solution in order for you to get your email from our server at your workplace. This is the only way that we will support your issue.

In other words, ATT Broadband Internet says: "No, we will not properly configure our DNS so that other email servers--even non-profit email servers--can confirm the identity of client requests. Use our system, and only our system. This is the only way that we will support your issue." Never mind that ATT Broadband Internet's web-based email system--AT&T Message Center--is technologically inferior to, vastly slower than, and has much inferior sorting and filtering capabilities than state-of-the-art email programs. ATT believes that, since they control the broadband cable-modem connection to my house, they have the right to break--to "not support"--whatever non-ATT internet services they choose.
I can, of course, work around this. I can use the ATT Broadband Internet cable-modem connection to telnet to my office computer, use my office computer to access the Berkeley servers, download my email messages to a file, ftp the file back to my home computer, and then open the ftp'd file with my email program--five steps instead of one, and thus an annoying reduction in the responsiveness of my system, eight extra mouse clicks, and about 80 extra characters typed into the keyboard.
But every time I do so, I think: it is really a pain in the a** that the FCC decided that cable companies did not have to open their switches to competition between ISPs, and that cable-modem internet customers like me are the chattels of our cable companies, to be disposed of as they wish.

My reasons for not eating meat are as follows:
--snip the reasons--
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wouldn't worry about giving a bad impression of oneself at all. Most of us do, and we all quite enjoy gently flicking our tongues at each other.
The only reason that *I* eat meat is because I crave its juicy, scrumptious, incredibly delicious meatiness.
I mean, it's not like I'm a hairless ape running around on the plains of Africa desperate for iron and protein, or anything else that might keep me alive for yet another fun-filled day fleeing from lions and tigers and bears (oh no!). I'm a rather sedentary North American who can get all my nutrient requirements from non-animal sources on the way home from the office. If I became a vegetarian I'd save money, and be able to spend it on consumer electronics. My waistline would likely reverse its outward expansion and return to its former lust-inducing lines. My blood chemistry would approach a healthier balance. My economic participation in the horrors of factory-style livestock farming would diminish. Highly troublesome areas of animal-human ethics would be avoided. The land that I pay others to farm so inefficiently could be returned to its former state.
But, hey, I'm a totally mindless gene-slave, completely unable to do anything but crave steak. And prime rib. And roast chicken. And stew. And stir-fried pork tenderloin. And Peking duck. And chocolate cake. And butter. And, praise be to evolution, even though I have a host of very good reasons at my fingertips to stop eating as much meat (etc.) as I do, my bodymind is constructed in such a way that all these mean absolutely nothing to me when confronted with 8 oz. of perfectly cooked medium rare filet mignon.
Animals? Torture them, confine them to cages barely large enough to move in, interrupt their normal social structures, cut down the Brazilian rainforests, kill them, cut them up and wrap their body parts in plastic--whatever--I don't *really* care. I desire meat, and I will not have the fulfillment of my gene-driven desire thwarted. I know all the vegetarian arguments, have very successfully lived as a vegetarian for months and years at a time, but the seductive smell of roasting flesh overcomes all obstacles, shuts down my rational faculties, and drives me into a feeding frenzy.

1822 | England's S.S. Aaron Manby is the world's first iron steamship. She undergoes trials on the Thames and then goes into service across the Channel, arriving at Paris June 10 with a cargo of linseed oil and iron.
1829 | New York sailing captain Cornelius van Derbilt, 33, begins building steamboats.1840 The wooden steamship Britannia arrives at Boston on the first voyage of the government-subsidized Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. established the year before by Nova Scotia-born shipper Samuel Cunard, 43, in association with George and James Burns of Glasgow and David M'Iver of Liverpool.

(2) Just how were the late nineteenth-century Robber Barons able to raise so much capital without effective investor protections?
(3) The separation of investment from commercial bankings has legal foundations in the fact that progressive-era reform proposals were dusted off and applied to the securities markets because the New Deal had to do something. But does it have older roots?
(4) What do we think of the extent-of-territory theory: taht the U.S. is just so damn big that diversification is just too attractive?
(5) What do we think of the retail sales theory: Salmon Chase, James Stillman, Charles Merrill all made lots of money by pushing securities out to retail investors at relatively high prices?
(6) What do we think about the weak governance theory: that political influence was worth less in U.S., hence the benefits of diversification were more valuable than the benefits of having a central financier-negotiator to strike deals with the government?
(7) Paul Allen, a very smart guy, tried to become high-tech financier-baron and had his head handed to him. Why?
(8) Why does having Berle-Means corporations appear to produce large benefits for America but not for Britain?
(9) Why are new billionaires made in the first post-WWII generation only in media, oil, and real estate only?

2002-02-04: At the World Economic Forum--Davos-in-NY--they handed out free Windows CE Compaq "ipaq" palmtops to serve as meeting planners, schedulers, and information-distribution devices. They didn't really work for the purposes for which they were distributed (although they are very nice computers for other purposes). By the time I picked mine up, the earnest person behind the desk was telling me to (a) let it synchronize often, (b) stay still while it synchronized, (c) be sure to try to synchronize only where you would have a good signal, (d) that under the conference load the systems were proving "temperamental," and (e) not to try to use it to send email.
So the first thing I did was try to use it to send one (1) email. It crashed. I reset it and used it to browse around the meeting schedule for a little while. It was slow. Then I downloaded some news headlines. Then I discovered that it *only* downloaded headlines--that there was no way to get to the stories that I could find. Then I used it to try to download the superbowl score: it crashed, restarted, announced that it had to download 8000 webpages immediately, took 45 minutes to do so, crashed again, restarted, announced that the avantgo software had no channels installed, and was a useless brain-dead hulk for the rest of the meeting.
Stripped of its "meeting companion" software configuration, however, it seems a quite nice machine, the ipaq. But no easy way to sync it with my Macs. So I'm sticking with my two-year-old Visor.
The outside of the ipaq bag has--in big letters--Compaq, Microsoft, Accenture. I find myself wondering just what they were thinking in selling the Davos-in-NY people a meeting-planner-and-wireless-communicator that chokes when it tries to send wireless email, has a mean-time-to-crash of 15 minutes, and has software sufficiently unstable that crash number 4 wipes key parts of its software installation and puts it into a brain-dead state. Did the Accenture people not test it at all? Did they fail to test it under anything like the load it would get during the meeting? Why would Microsoft want its Windows CE operating system associated with such an unstable applications package as the AvantGo system used by Accenture? Why would Microsoft want WindowsCE to be demonstrated on a computer like the ipaq that apparently doesn't have the horsepower or the wireless bandwidth to satisfy the one-second or even the ten-second rule? Why is Compaq associating its name with software companies like Microsoft and consultancies like Accenture that overpromise what its machines can actually deliver?
Unless the average experience was very different from mine, a lot of people left that meeting thinking that neither Compaq, Microsoft, nor Accenture should be trusted with any part of Our Digital Future...

Mother dogs provide a good illustration of the onset, rate, and offset of innate motor patterns with their puppy-retrieving behavior. The mother dog is in her nest. She hears a puppy giving a distress call. She gets out of the nest, goes to the site of the sound, picks up the puppy, then carries it to the nest and places it with the other puppies. (Isn't she smart!) Puppy-retrieval motor pattern onsets after the last puppy in the litter is born. It offsets thirteen days later. After that time, a pup can give the call, but the mother does not respond by retrieving it.
The puppy's retrieval call is a fascinating motor pattern. Each call is identical in pitch, amplitude, and duration. It is a species-specific call just like a birdsong. It is only given by puppies, and only when theyare lost. It is given continually until the pup is rescued. The onset of this innate motor pattern is at birth. The offset is roughly four weeks later, at the end of the suckling period.
My Italian Maremmano-Abruzzese, Lina, got caught short one day because of her attention to sheep, and whelped her first puppy in the field. She left the puppy still attached to its placenta and returned to her nest in the barn and had the rest of her litter. The first pup called and called to be retrieved, but Lina was still giving birth. There are some big questions here. Since the puppy was just born, blind and deaf, how did it know it was lost? How did it know which was the "I'm lost" signal? Didn't it need to practice the signal, and didn't it need to be rewarded for giving the signal? No--the signal and the knowledge of when and how to use it are built into the dog; it can't possibly be learned.
Being a good dog ethologist, from my office I recognized the repetitive calling of Lina's lost puppy, and knew why Lina wasn't responding, so I went to retrieve it. I took my tape recorder and recorded the sound, because here was a lost puppy still attached to its umbilical cord giving the correct signal. Fascinating.
Why did I have to rescue the puppy? Well, the puppy had the onset of sending the retrieval call, but Lina didn't have the onset for receiving the signal, because the last pup hadn't been born yet. Six hours later, Lina was ready, but I had already rescued the pup. If the little guy had had the energy to put out the signal repetitively for six hours, I'm sure Lina would have gone back for him, once the retrieval motor pattern onset. But I think the littlde tyke would have weakened and died long before six hours passed. The call is energetically expensive, and I can't imagine there was that much energy stored in the half-pound puppy.
If Lina was so smart, why didn't she just pick him up right after he was born and take him back to the barn with her? The answer is that if Lina had been a rat, she might have, for the retrieval motor pattern turns on two days before parturition in rats. But Lina is a dog and the retrieval reflex was off until after the last puppy was born.
When my students played the tape recording of the lost Lina puppy to my border collie, Flea, she got out of her nest (none of her puppies were lost), searched for and found the tape recorder, retrieved it, and put it in her nest with the puppies. It is not lost puppies that are retrieved, it is objects that emit the vocal signal.
At the end of thirteen days the retrieve-puppy behavior turns off in the mother, even though pups will continue to send the signal for a few weeks more. One evening, all dressed up and going out on the town, I heard a weak retrieve signal coming through the pouring rain from our dog yard. Slogging out through the wet, I found the pup, exhausted, out of the box, wet and cold and literally dying. Tilly, the mother, a purebread Siberian (#45, above average on Coren's intelligence scale), was not five feet away, curled up with the rest of her pups in her box. "Tilly," I implored, "what on earth is the matter with you! Can't you hear your pup is in trouble? Don't you hear the retrieve call? Can't you reason, think, recognize that your puppy is in trouble? Don't you love it?" "Sorry boss," she said, "but the retrieval motor pattern turned off last week and I don't have any cognitive ability to be aware of the impending danger nor can I deduce it from the information I'm receiving." Heat lamps, sugar solution, and some care saved the pup, and Tilly accepted it when I returned it two hours later.
