Through the study of a regional industry, the book illustrates the impact of an expanding national market on a previously isolated market, offering new insights into a pioneer industry in the West and into the business methods and procedures of the time. The book discusses the growth of a myriad of small processing and manufacturing plants which drew raw materials from, and geared production and sales to that local economy, enjoying as they did, protection from eastern competitors who were saddled with high freight rates. The book demonstrates that once urbanization occurred in the region, bri

Excerpt : These selected points of view, while far from representing an exhaustive analysis of the situation of contemporary art, nevertheless pose many of the fundamental issues relevant to the problem of a future for art. It is a question that can be seen as part of an emerging concern of the culture as a whole with its own future, a tendency which has appeared rarely if ever before with its present intensity. In 1969, in response to a growing sense of urgency around critical issues pertaining to the role of art within society, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presented a lecture series on the subject of the future of art. This illustrated collection of seven essays, with an introduction by Associate Curator Edward F. Fry, came out of the series, which Fry also organized. Seeking “fresh insights beyond the normal limits of critical and art-historical discourse,” Fry invited individuals working in the fields of history, philosophy, psychology, and social theory, as well as an architect and a sculptor representing opposing poles of artistic practice, to participate, with the aim of situating art of the period and its pressing critical concerns in a broader intellectual and cultural context. By favoring “selected points of view” over “an exhaustive analysis,” On the Future of Art offers varied and sometimes radical perspectives as its contributors engage with aesthetics, cybernetics, futurology, the psychology of learning, and structuralism to envision art’s future. The collection includes the following essays: “Art: Communicative or Esoteric?” by historian Arnold J. Toynbee, “Architecture: Silence and Light” by architect Louis I. Kahn, “Art and the Structuralist Perspective” by art historian Annette Michelson, “Creating the Creative Artist” by psychologist B. F. Skinner, “Phenomenal Art: Form, Idea, and Technique” by artist James Seawright, “The Aesthetics of Intelligent Systems” by artist and theorist J. W. Burnham, and “Art as a Form of Reality” by philosopher Herbert Marcuse.

Accident law is currently under review throughout the United States, and indeed the world, as present systems prove increasingly inadequate to handle the mounting costs of automobile accidents. In this pioneering work, Guido Calabresi develops a framework for evaluating different systems of accident law. Defining the goal of accident law as the maximum reduction of accident and accident avoidance costs that can be achieved fairly, he examines ten political and economic choices implied in various approaches to reducing these costs. Calabresi then considers two fundamental problems all systems of accident law must face: who should be held responsible for accident costs, and how should they be valued? He analyzes the fault-insurance system now widely used and finds it wanting on grounds both of cost reduction objectives and fairness. In conclusion, he discusses recent proposals for reform of the law, points out questions they raise, and ends by indicating the two he thinks most likely to prevail and the fundamental conflict between them."Calabresi's book is most significant for its first-rate combination of modern economic analysis and legal policy. The methodology and underlying principles extend far beyond the particular subject matter of accident law to many other legal areas that could benefit from economic analysis. In turn, some economic analyses may become the richer for the discussion in this book. It is truly one of those rare important volumes."-Gerald M Meier
