    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    The Oxford Dictionary defines a prophet as..a person who advocates or speaks in a visionary way about a new cause or theory, a definition which describes to a tee, the set of early 20th century authors whose writings on power are presented here.

  • The Roaring Twenties - When the Roar Wasn’t Loud Enough
    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    The decade of the 1920s is colloquially known as the Roaring Twenties, when modernity came to the U.S. and the World, ushering in a decade of unbounded growth and new-found optimism. GDP growth was particularly strong, as was employment and investment. However, as counterintuitive as it may sound or appear, the 1920s were also years of stagnation, stagnation that owed to the f...

  • Energy and the Rise and Fall of Political Economy
    Bernard C Beaudreau
    The First and Second Industrial Revolutions were about energy: steam power revolutionized 19th-century Great Britain and electric power revolutionized 20th-century America. Yet political economy, the science of wealth born of the First Industrial Revolution, is devoid of energy, focusing instead on machinery or capital. According to basic mechanics, tools per se are not product...

  • Underincome
    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    Money talks, goods and services don’t. This fundamental distinction is what sets a monetary economy apart from a barter one. As a result, economic growth requires more than capital, labor and energy. Being able to signal one’s willingness to purchase goods and services is also required, a sine qua non of an advanced industrial economy. Formally, the ability to generate wealth, ...

  • The Economic Consequences of Mr. Keynes
    Bernard C Beaudreau
    Business history is littered with stories of missed opportunities, of geniuses that never cashed in on their brilliance, of great men who sold themselves short. Apple Computer with its user-friendly operating system, the McDonald brothers of San Bernardino with their fast-food restaurant are two prime examples. This book is about a similar tragedy, but of greater proportion, na...

  • How the Republicans Caused the Stock Market Crash of 1929
    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    This book presents an alternative view of the Stock Market Boom and Crash of 1929 as having resulted from government intervention, specifically from a case of flawed government policy in the form of the Republican party’s 1928 election promise of an upward tariff revision―the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Bill. As such, the stock market in particular and the market mechanism in general w...

  • Making Sense of Smoot-Hawley
    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    Three-quarters of a century after its enactment, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act remains an enigma. Either U.S. policymakers were grossly mistaken or we have missed something. Could there have been a method to their apparent madness? Could the upward tariff revision have made sense, however little? This book, based on the author’s earlier work on Mass Production and the Great Depre...

    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    In this book, recent advances in the field of game theory, specifically in the area of coordination games (theory and policy) are used to reexamine one of the most far-reaching, yet overlooked pieces of legislation in U.S. economic history, namely the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933.

  • Energy Rents
    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    The concept of energy rents was first introduced in 1998 (Energy and Organization, Growth and Distribution Reexamined), when it was used to analyze income distribution in U.S. manufacturing in the post-WWII period. It was argued that rents resulting from the growing use of electric power in manufacturing were shared by the owners of labor and capital in the form of higher wages...

    Bernard C. Beaudreau / Bernard CBeaudreau
    Economic complexity, like all other forms of complexity, evolved over time, from early Homo sapiens-sapiens to modern man. The rise of economic civilization was punctuated by a number of technology shocks, including the development of large-scale agriculture, the improvement of the steam engine by James Watt, and the application of electro-magnetic power by Thomas Edison and Ge...

    Economists and historians view the events of the 1920s, the stock market boom and crash, the Great Depression and the New Deal, as being largely independent.
