At Corn Products Refining (CPR), stockholders so disagreed with one another that they threatened to undermine the merger itself. Its predecessor, Corn Products (1902–1906), nearly failed, and so might have CPR. For several years, from its organization in 1906 to perhaps 1915, CPR’s owners weighed paying dividends against funding factories. Because paying dividends chanced syphoning off sums needed for plants, this might cause facilities to deteriorate and workers to face threats like factory fires that often set off explosions. CPR President E. T. Bedford managed this test and strove to upgrade facilities, which, by design or not, helped improve safety. His efforts almost came to naught given CPR’s anticompetitive tactics, yet the court’s antitrust decision—although highly critical—inadvertently gave the merger the chance to enhance profits and safety.
在玉米产品精炼公司(CPR),股东之间的分歧如此之大,以至于他们威胁要破坏合并本身。它的前身玉米制品公司(1902-1906)几乎失败了,因此可能有CPR。从1906年成立到1915年的几年里,CPR的所有者一直在权衡支付股息和资助工厂。因为支付股息可能会吸走工厂所需的资金,这可能会导致设施恶化,工人面临工厂火灾等经常引发爆炸的威胁。CPR主席E.T.Bedford管理了这项测试,并努力升级设施,无论设计与否,这都有助于提高安全性。考虑到CPR的反竞争策略,他的努力几乎化为泡影,然而法院的反垄断裁决——尽管非常关键——无意中给了合并提高利润和安全的机会。

“The Other Kitchen Debate” places the history of the microwave oven in the context of Cold War anxieties and gender politics. Discrepancies between Soviet and U.S. safety standards, Soviet deployment of microwave espionage, and the prospect of nuclear war triggered fears about the possible dangers of kitchen appliances powered by low-level radiation. During the 1970s and early 1980s, politicians, government regulators, industry representatives, advertisers, home economists, media, and consumers engaged in lively debates over oven safety and the merits of microwave cookery. By the late eighties and early nineties, as East–West tensions waned and record numbers of American women entered the paid labor force, American media perceived fewer distinctions between the hazards posed by electronic ovens and those presented by their conventional counterparts. New definitions of safety redefined microwave ovens as purely domestic appliances, leaving questions about the potential risks of nonionizing radiation unresolved.
《另一个厨房的争论》将微波炉的历史置于冷战焦虑和性别政治的背景下。苏联和美国安全标准之间的差异、苏联部署的微波间谍活动以及核战争的前景引发了人们对低水平辐射供电的厨房电器可能存在的危险的担忧。在20世纪70年代和80年代初,政治家、政府监管机构、行业代表、广告商、家庭经济学家、媒体和消费者就烤箱安全和微波烹饪的优点展开了激烈的辩论。到了80年代末和90年代初,随着东西方紧张局势的缓和,美国女性进入有偿劳动力队伍的人数创下历史新高,美国媒体认为电子烤箱带来的危害与传统烤箱带来的危险之间的区别越来越小。新的安全定义将微波炉重新定义为纯粹的家用电器,留下了关于非离子辐射潜在风险的问题尚未解决。

The literature on early modern credit markets emphasizes both the social embeddedness of credit relationships and the role of notaries. To enhance our understanding of how credit markets functioned in a “less-developed” economy, we investigate the local lending activities of a merchant-banker family that operated at the intersection of formal and informal credit. A combination of economic rationality and social motivations in lending decisions emerges. The credit network of this family firm provides a portrait of the social structure of the local community, where the central position of a few trusted notaries and members of the business and political elite highlights the prevalence of relationships of power and favor over impersonal market exchange. The predominance of informal credit reveals a preference for loans made outside of notarial circuits. Nonetheless, notaries were crucial in lending to borrowers of lower social status and with weak ties, thus helping the liquidity of these merchants to “trickle down” into local society.
关于早期现代信贷市场的文献强调信用关系的社会嵌入性和公证人的作用。为了加深我们对信贷市场在“欠发达”经济体中如何运作的理解,我们调查了在正式和非正式信贷交叉点经营的商业银行家家族的当地贷款活动。贷款决策中出现了经济理性和社会动机的结合。这个家族企业的信用网络为当地社区的社会结构提供了一幅肖像,其中少数值得信赖的公证人和商业和政治精英成员的中心地位突出了权力关系和人情关系在非个人市场交换中的普遍存在。非正式信贷占主导地位表明,人们倾向于在公证渠道之外获得贷款。尽管如此,公证人在向社会地位较低、关系薄弱的借款人提供贷款方面发挥了至关重要的作用,从而帮助这些商人的流动性“渗透”到当地社会。

Futures of Europe: The City of London’s Commodity Exchanges, the European Economic Community, and the Global Regulation of Futures Trading (1960s–1980s) 欧洲期货:伦敦金融城商品交易所、欧洲经济共同体和全球期货交易监管(20世纪60年代至80年代)

Since the mid-1970s, the U.S. commodity futures exchanges have increasingly been the focus of tight government regulation, which resulted in strong control by a specific agency: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In Europe, the regulation of futures diverged from the U.S. model. No regulation at the communitarian level was implemented; at the national level, the United Kingdom emerged as a model of self-regulation of commodity markets. This article explores the historical causes behind this lack of regulation in Europe, placing it in the context of global commodity trading and arguing that the European regulation of futures trading was reshaped by a dialogue established between the European Commission and big players of commodity futures trading in the City of London. Since the mid-1960s, the City of London has become a pivotal global market venue for commodity futures, which has increasingly attracted players from abroad, thanks to its financial integrity and self-regulatory model. Both established London merchants and emerging players in the global trade of financial products cooperated to stave off any attempt at regulating the London futures exchanges. The inference here is that those attempts were instrumental in setting the conditions leading to the regulatory fragmentation that still characterizes futures trading in the global market.
自20世纪70年代中期以来,美国商品期货交易所越来越成为政府严格监管的焦点,这导致了一个特定机构的强有力控制:商品期货交易委员会。在欧洲,对期货的监管与美国的模式有所不同。没有实施社群主义层面的监管;在国家一级,联合王国成为商品市场自我监管的典范。本文探讨了欧洲缺乏监管背后的历史原因,将其置于全球大宗商品交易的背景下,并认为欧洲对期货交易的监管是由欧盟委员会与伦敦金融城大宗商品期货交易的大参与者之间建立的对话重塑的。自20世纪60年代中期以来,伦敦金融城已成为大宗商品期货的关键全球市场场所,由于其财务诚信和自律模式,大宗商品期货越来越多地吸引了国外参与者。伦敦老牌商人和全球金融产品贸易中的新兴参与者都进行了合作,以避免任何监管伦敦期货交易所的企图。这里的推论是,这些尝试有助于创造条件,导致全球市场期货交易的监管碎片化。

Part-Time Employment in the Breadwinner Era: Dutch Employers’ Initiatives to Control Female Labor Force Participation, 1945–1970 养家糊口时代的兼职工作:荷兰雇主主动控制女性劳动力参与,1945-1970

In the 1950s, part-time work gradually became an element of labor policy to activate women to participate in the labor market that could be transferred from one country to another. Support of part-time employment in the Dutch labor market, however, was initially not endorsed as a solution to the problem of low female labor force participation but was the outcome of a more complex set of deliberations, in which the moral economy of employers’ organizations conflicted with broader demands for increased productivity. The article contrasts the initial concerns of Dutch employers about increasing women’s labor force participation with the country’s later international role in advocating part-time work for married women on an international scale. The Netherlands thereby serves as a case study of how employers’ organizations instrumentalized part-time employment for their own moral economy based in the breadwinner ideology.
在1950年代,非全职工作逐渐成为劳工政策的一个要素,以激活妇女参与可以从一个国家转移到另一个国家的劳动力市场。然而,在荷兰劳动力市场上支持非全时就业,最初并没有被认为是解决女性劳动力参与率低问题的办法,而是一系列更复杂的审议的结果,其中雇主组织的道德经济与提高生产力的更广泛要求相冲突。这篇文章对比了荷兰雇主最初对提高妇女劳动力参与率的关注,以及该国后来在国际范围内倡导已婚妇女兼职工作的国际角色。因此,荷兰可以作为雇主组织如何在养家糊口意识形态的基础上为其自身的道德经济利用兼职就业的案例研究。

Satisfaction Guaranteed: Your Choice and the Transnational Distribution of Hardcore Pornography Between the Netherlands and Britain 满意保证:你的选择和荷兰和英国之间硬核色情的跨国分布

Recently, there has been increasing academic interest in the historical foundations of the pornography business. However, these studies tend to focus on individual national contexts rather than exploring the transnational relationships that exist, or have existed, between these countries. This article considers how a transnational approach can further understandings of entrepreneurship in the pornography business. It suggests the need for an interdisciplinary framework to examine transnational enterprise in the pornography business, combining ideas from enterprise alongside criminology and economic geography to frame the enterprise history of the Netherlands-based company Your Choice. Based in Amsterdam, but run by British entrepreneurs, Your Choice’s activities can be dated back to the 1970s, specializing in the transnational distribution of hardcore pornographic films to customers in Britain, where the sale of such material is legally problematic. Drawing on ethnohistorical research, which includes primary interviews, workplace observation, and archival and doctrinal research, I use Your Choice as a case study to show how transnational entrepreneurship in the pornography business can create opportunities as well as help to manipulate restrictive laws and regulations. I also suggest that negotiating such legalities carries risk, as does the need to respond and adapt to ongoing shifts in the market.
最近,学术界对色情业的历史基础越来越感兴趣。然而,这些研究往往侧重于个别国家的背景,而不是探索这些国家之间存在或已经存在的跨国关系。本文探讨了跨国方法如何进一步理解色情行业的创业精神。它建议需要一个跨学科的框架来研究色情行业的跨国企业,将企业的思想与犯罪学和经济地理学相结合,以构建总部位于荷兰的Your Choice公司的企业历史。Your Choice总部位于阿姆斯特丹,但由英国企业家经营,其活动可以追溯到20世纪70年代,专门向英国客户跨国发行色情电影,在英国,此类材料的销售在法律上存在问题。我利用民族历史研究,包括初步访谈、工作场所观察、档案和理论研究,以Your Choice为案例研究,展示色情行业的跨国创业如何创造机会,并帮助操纵限制性法律法规。我还建议,谈判此类合法性存在风险,应对和适应市场持续变化的必要性也是如此。

This article challenges current interpretations of the rise of the Eurodollar market. It argues that rather than being the exclusive innovation of British banks, the Eurodollar market had also Italian origins. Foreign-currency lending in Italy in the 1950s was characterized by competitive behavior. I explain the accumulation of Eurodollar deposits by Italian banks as resulting from the fact that nonresident foreign-currency deposits were not subject to reserve requirements. Furthermore, I discuss the attitudes of the Bank of Italy regarding the financing of foreign-currency credits with nonresident dollar deposits (Eurodollars) and compare the Eurocurrency liabilities of Italian banks vis-à-vis those of the City of London. The comparison facilitates an approximate estimation of the size of the Eurocurrency market in the late 1950s and, even more importantly, a recalibration of the view that the City of London was the dominant Eurodollar player from the outset.
本文对当前对欧洲美元市场崛起的解读提出了挑战。它认为,欧洲美元市场也起源于意大利,而不是英国银行的独家创新。20世纪50年代意大利的外币贷款以竞争行为为特征。我解释说,意大利银行积累的欧洲美元存款是由于非居民外币存款不受准备金要求的约束。此外,我还讨论了意大利银行对用非居民美元存款(欧洲美元)融资外币信贷的态度,并比较了意大利银行与-à-vis伦敦金融城的欧洲货币负债。这种比较有助于大致估计上世纪50年代末欧洲货币市场的规模,更重要的是,它重新校准了伦敦金融城从一开始就是欧洲美元的主要参与者的观点。

Profit and Statecraft in Nineteenth-Century China 19世纪中国的利润与治国方略

Similarities between William Rowe’s Speaking of Profit and Peter Lavelle’s The Profits of Nature are not hard to find. Both are focused on the lives of elite men enmeshed in the political world of nineteenth-century China, explain and analyze their views of proper governance and their places in the intellectual milieu of the era, and cast an eye toward global comparisons. Both also feature the word “profit” in the title, and not by coincidence. However, their respective focuses lie on opposite ends of the momentous ruptures of China’s mid-nineteenth century, most notably the Opium (1839–1842) and Taiping (1850–1864) wars. Reading these two books together poses the provocative question of whether their similarities outweigh this considerable difference.
威廉·罗的《论利润》和彼得·拉维尔的《自然的利润》之间的相似之处不难发现。两本书都聚焦于卷入19世纪中国政治世界的精英人士的生活,解释和分析了他们对适当治理的看法,以及他们在那个时代知识分子环境中的地位,并将目光投向了全球比较。两者的标题中都有“利润”一词,这并非巧合。然而,他们各自关注的是中国19世纪中期重大破裂的两端,最著名的是鸦片战争(1839-1842)和太平天国战争(1850-1864)。把这两本书放在一起读,会引发一个令人深思的问题:它们的相似之处是否超过了巨大的差异?

Reading these two books together poses the provocative question of whether their similarities outweigh this considerable difference.","PeriodicalId":45977,"journal":{"name":"Enterprise & Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"582 - 589"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41501584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 1990s, a new model for market control organized through tripartite standards regimes (TSR), has expanded globally and affected most market exchanges through standard-setting, accreditation, and certification. This article investigates business-consumer relations under this regime, with a specific focus on the functions of accreditation and certification. In our case study of Sweden, a new picture of consumer protection under late capitalism evolves. Seeing it as a form of neoliberalization, the article uncovers a transition between two regimes of control; from one built on a potential conflict between consumer and business interests, to one based on the assumption that business interests are beneficial for all parties. Although business interest was formulated as pleasing the consumer—or the “customer”—by both certification firms and the Swedish Accreditation Authority, in practice consumer interest as something worth protecting was made abstract in the era of the TSR.
自20世纪90年代以来,通过三方标准制度(TSR)组织的市场控制新模式已在全球扩展,并通过标准制定、认可和认证影响了大多数市场交流。本文研究了该制度下的企业与消费者的关系,特别关注认证和认证的功能。在我们对瑞典的案例研究中,一幅在资本主义晚期保护消费者的新图景正在形成。文章将其视为新自由主义化的一种形式,揭示了两种控制体制之间的过渡;从一个建立在消费者和商业利益之间潜在冲突的基础上,到一个基于商业利益对各方都有利的假设的基础上。尽管认证公司和瑞典认证机构将商业利益表述为取悦消费者或“顾客”,但在实践中,作为值得保护的东西的消费者利益在TSR时代被抽象了出来。
