Introducing a screening of Robert J. Flaherty’s 1922 masterpiece “Nanook 
of the North” at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in New 
York on March 3rd, 2013 Inuit throat-singer Tanya Tagaq–there to provide 
musical accompaniment– warned the audience that her people were not 
cheerful despite the words that appear near the beginning:


	The sterility of the soil and the rigor of the climate no other race 
could survive; yet here, utterly dependent upon animal life, which is 
their sole source of food, live the most cheerful people in all the 
world–the fearless, lovable, happy-go-lucky Eskimo.


When Flaherty began filming, the word documentary did not exist. If 
required to depict the Inuit in cinéma vérité fashion, the director 
would never have bothered since his professed goal was to show the Inuit 
as they lived before they became corrupted by outside civilization. This 
meant, for example, directing Nanook to hunt seals with a handcrafted 
harpoon rather than a rifle that was customary at the time.


In a 1990 documentary titled “Nanook Revisited” that does aspire to 
historical accuracy and that is unfortunately only available from 
research libraries today, the production team went to Inukjuak, the 
village in northern Quebec where Flaherty shot his film, to interview 
relatives of Nanook’s contemporaries as well as knowledgeable villagers. 
The manager of the local television station Moses Nowkawalk was both 
amused and annoyed by inaccuracies. For example, Flaherty had Nanook 
looking mystified by a phonograph player and taking a bite out of a 
record but Nowkawalk points out that the villagers had been listening to 
records for years. A cruder version of this scene took place in the 1980 
narrative film “The Gods Must Be Crazy” with Kalahari Bushmen worshiping 
a Coke bottle tossed out of a airplane.

"Notes from the Editors," Monthly Review, October 2014:

Especially noteworthy in this respect was Sweezy’s path-breaking lecture “Why 
Stagnation?” delivered to the Harvard Economics Club in March 1982 (appearing 
in MR in June 1982). This raises the intriguing question: Was Summers present 
at Sweezy’s “Why Stagnation?” talk? We contacted Summers’s office on August 24, 
and were told that he said he didn’t recall, “but could be!”; his office then 
contacted us later the same day and said that he had reconsidered this and 
while he still did not remember, he thought it “unlikely.” Whether or not 
Summers was actually present on this occasion—and he believes it likely he was 
not—the question remains as to whether he was aware at the time of Sweezy’s 
talk, and of his general argument on stagnation. It is hard to imagine how all 
of this could have passed Summers by completely.

Isn’t it about time, then, that orthodox economists, Summers included, began to 
acknowledge the enormous work done on this topic on the left over decades, and 
indeed the greater complexity and historicity of the analysis to be found 
there—not only in MR but within heterodox economics more generally? Such an 
admission might even do orthodox economists some good.

The Haschish
by John Greenleaf Whittier

Of all that Orient lands can vaunt
Of marvels with our own competing,
The strangest is the Haschish plant,
And what will follow on its eating.
What pictures to the taster rise,
Of Dervish or of Almeh dances!
Of Eblis, or of Paradise,
Set all aglow with Houri glances!
The poppy visions of Cathay,
The heavy beer-trance of the Suabian;
The wizard lights and demon play
Of nights Walpurgis and Arabian!
The Mollah and the Christian dog
Change place in mad metempsychosis;
The Muezzin climbs the synagogue,
The Rabbi shakes his beard at Moses!
The Arab by his desert well
Sits choosing from some Caliph's daughters,
And hears his single camel's bell
Sound welcome to his regal quarters.
The Koran's reader makes complaint
Of Shitan dancing on and off it;
The robber offers alms, the saint
Drinks Tokay and blasphemes the Prophet.
Such scenes that Eastern plant awakes;
But we have one ordained to beat it,
The Haschish of the West, which makes
Or fools or knaves of all who eat it.
The preacher eats, and straight appears
His Bible in a new translation;
Its angels negro overseers,
And Heaven itself a snug plantation!
The man of peace, about whose dreams
The sweet millennial angels cluster,
Tastes the mad weed, and plots and schemes,
A raving Cuban filibuster!
The noisiest Democrat, with ease,
It turns to Slavery's parish beadle;
The shrewdest statesman eats and sees
Due southward point the polar needle.
The Judge partakes, and sits erelong
Upon his bench a railing blackguard;
Decides off-hand that right is wrong,
And reads the ten commandments backward.
O potent plant! so rare a taste
Has never Turk or Gentoo gotten;
The hempen Haschish of the East
Is powerless to our Western Cotton!

Jim Farmelant wonders if Summers is aware of the Monthly Review school of 
thought on secular stagnation. I think he is. He is from a family of 
economists, and is nephew to Paul Samuelson and Kenneth Arrow. Samuelson 
devoted much effort to a refutation of Marx, and surely Summers is aware of 
this work and much more. Sweezy was, according to Georgescu-Roegen, the best of 
the young Harvard economists in the 1930s. So it is unimaginable that Summers 
doesn't know about MR's economics. That he wouldn't cite them is not 
surprising. The MR school has radical implications, which Summers, Krugman, et. 
al. don't want to dwell on. Similarly, MR's summer 2014 issue was titled 
"Surveillance Capitalism," and contains many interesting articles on the 
surveillance society in which we find ourselves today. Now Shoshana Zuboff, 
emeritus professor at Harvard, has taken to writing about surveillance 
capitalism as if she coined the phrase. Really disgusting but par for the 
course. Zuboff's work is natural
 ly also devoid of radical conclusions. 
What is most disturbing, however, is when radicals think that because 
mainstream thinkers begin to dabble in radical theory that this means anything 
good. It does not. See my essay, "Occupy Wall Street and the Celebrity 
Economists." Harry Magdoff called Paul Krugman a "prizefighter for capitalism." 
So is Summers, and so is Zuboff. As the old labor song says, Which Side Are You 
On? These people know what side they are on, and it isn't ours.

He not only reiterates his secular stagnation thesis but argues that it is 
monopoly power that is behind the divergence between surging corporate profits 
and the behavior of real interest rates and investment.

Thus, whether he realized it or not, he replicates the whole Monthly Review 
School's analysis of how present day capitalism works - what Paul Sweezy and 
Paul Baran were arguing for years ago and what people like John Bellamy Foster 
argue for  today. Naturally, Summers cites none of these people (at least 
Krugman will sometimes cite Kalecki). Has Summer's read those people but is too 
embarrassed  to mention them, or has he arrived at these positions 
independently of them?

NY Times, Apr. 2 2016
Before Bernie Sanders, There Was Zeidler, a Religious Socialist
On Religion
By SAMUEL G. FREEDMAN

MILWAUKEE — One night in April 1948, when Bernie Sanders was a 
6-year-old boy in Brooklyn, Frank Zeidler was elected mayor of Milwaukee 
on the Socialist Party line. He would hold the office for a dozen years. 
Until Mr. Sanders undertook his presidential campaign, Mr. Zeidler had 
been the last prominent and successful Socialist politician in America.


While Mr. Sanders is a secular Jew, though, Mayor Zeidler was a devoted 
Christian, who remained active in the Redeemer Lutheran Church here 
until his death in 2006 at age 93. As Mr. Sanders brings his quest for a 
“political revolution” into the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday, Mr. 
Zeidler’s legacy, both religious and ideological, lives on in a series 
of public conversations held by his lifelong church.


Perhaps it did not qualify as revolutionary, but on a balmy evening last 
month, the line of attendees for a discussion on the topic “Interrupting 
Racism” stretched out the back door of the Redeemer church. Hobbling on 
canes, hoisting backpacks and bike helmets, clad in hoodies, kente cloth 
and down vests, they represented a convergence of races, ages and 
political beliefs that is unusual in one of the nation’s most segregated 
metropolitan areas.


Eventually, more than 150 people formed discussion circles of five or 
six throughout the church’s rooms. For 90 minutes, they spoke, but they 
mostly listened about one another’s encounters with racial hate. In one 
group, a middle-aged white man admitted his lasting shame at not 
confronting a boss who made a racial slur about a black employee.


Across the scuffed parquet of the social hall, a white woman in another 
circle spoke of her shopping trips to the affluent suburb of Shorewood, 
where she noticed that the police routinely pulled over black drivers. 
Such things, she said, left her able only to pray, and then feeling 
inadequate in her prayers.


Such discussions were surely in the Zeidler spirit. As a mayor, he 
presided over a city begrudgingly accepting African-Americans who had 
moved northward in the Great Migration. His home state was so 
politically schizophrenic that during Mr. Zeidler’s Socialist heyday, 
one of Wisconsin’s senators was the Red-baiting Joseph R. McCarthy.


Even as socialism provided Mr. Zeidler with an ideological lens, the 
church supplied the moral teachings that he considered the essential 
complement. Far from resisting religion’s voice in the public square, he 
welcomed it, as does the program of topical discussions that bears his name.


Continue reading the main story
“My father always said, ‘You do nothing alone,’” said the mayor’s 
daughter Anita Zeidler, a senior lecturer in educational psychology at 
the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. “And when I need people to 
work together with and to make social change, I look to the religious. 
Because these are people of good will, who will put effort into doing 
what needs to be done.’”


Her father, the son of a barber, graduated from high school just before 
the stock market crash in 1929, which set off the Depression and cast 
global doubt on the capitalist order. After enlisting in the Army, a 
reliable way of getting a paycheck, he washed out of boot camp with 
rheumatic fever, often a fatal disease in the era before antibiotics.


During a yearlong convalescence, Mr. Zeidler methodically read books of 
political philosophy in search of a belief system. “Essentially, what he 
said is that he was drawn to socialism because they believed in 
brotherhood and equality and getting things done through democratic 
cooperation,” Dr. Zeidler recalled. “It was all about fairness.”


Mr. Zeidler’s decision placed him within a long tradition of socialism 
in Milwaukee, tracing back to the liberals and intellectuals who 
immigrated here after the failed revolutions in the mid-1850s in Germany 
and Austria. They and their descendants proudly and puckishly called 
their American version “sewer socialism,” for its practical approach to 
solving urban problems.


He eschewed the secular vein in socialism, struggling to reconcile it 
with his Lutheran faith. At one point in his young adulthood, while 
teaching Sunday school to teenage boys, he was fired by Redeemer’s 
pastor for having brought up Darwin and evolution. Decades later, after 
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a congregant placed an American 
flag in the sanctuary. Mr. Zeidler responded by installing the United 
Nations flag next to it.


In his post-mayoral life, Mr. Zeidler worked as a mediator, even toting 
his

Charlie Hebdo now has an English section on their website. They explain 
the massacre in Belgium as an outcome of taking bacon off the croissant 
menu:



Take the local baker, who has just bought the nearby bakery and replaced 
the old, recently-retired guy, he makes good croissants. He's likeable 
and always has a ready smile for all his customers. He's completely 
integrated into the neighbourhood already. Neither his long beard nor 
the little prayer-bruise on his forehead (indicative of his great piety) 
bother his clientele. They are too busy lapping up his lunchtime 
sandwiches. Those he sells are fabulous, though from now on there's no 
more ham nor bacon. Which is no big deal because there are plenty of 
other options on offer - tuna, chicken and all the trimmings. So, it 
would be silly to grumble or kick up a fuss in that much-loved 
boulangerie. We'll get used to it easily enough. As Tariq Ramadan 
helpfully instructs us, we'll adapt. And thus the baker's role is done.

Economist Robert Gordon has spent his career studying what makes the US 
labor force one of the world’s most productive.

And he has some bad news.

American workers still produce some of most economic activity per hour 
of any economy in the world. But the near-miraculous productivity growth 
that essentially transformed the US into one of the world’s most 
affluent societies is permanently in the country’s rearview mirror.
In his magisterial new book, The Rise and Fall of American Growth, the 
Northwestern University professor lays out the case that the 
productivity miracle underlying the American way of life was largely a 
one-time deal. It was driven by a flurry of technologies—electric 
lights, telephones, automobiles, indoor plumbing—that fundamentally 
transformed millions of American lives within a matter of decades.
