Industrial State

Disaffected from the court and shaken out of conventional assumptions about human nature by the Ghost’s revelations, Hamlet begins to think of comparisons with non-human life, beginning with his father as ‘old mole’ (1.5.170). Later he turns to worms, and his attention suggests a willed strategy of existential and ecological discovery, since worms occupied a place diametrically opposite to humans in the traditional hierarchy of life. Renaissance Humanists often used the perceived inferiority of worms and other animals to define human uniqueness. Their gradations of being, by extension, justified human mastery of the earth represented in Hamlet by Claudius’s modernizing transformation of Denmark into a military-industrial state. Adopting a worm-oriented perspective (wryly imagined by conservation ecologist André Voisin in my epigraph), Hamlet begins to question his own conventional Humanist reflexes, such as those on display in his opening soliloquy (e.g. ‘O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason /Would have mourned longer’ [1.2.150–51]). Recent critics have shown how analogies between social behaviour and animals in Hamlet and other Shakespeare plays reflect the rediscovery of classical scepticism towards human superiority by Humanists such as Michel de Montaigne, before René Descartes and other Enlightenment philosophers elevated mind and soul into essential qualities of human nature. As in other areas of ecology and environmentalism discussed in this book, early modern reflections such as Hamlet’s look forward to today’s post-Cartesian and post-human enquiries into human, animal, and cyborgian crossovers. In this chapter I want to align these pre-modern and present-day horizons with the scientific revolution that links them: evolutionary biology’s tracing of human origins to the shared creaturely and genetic life of the planet. Worms will be my trope for Hamlet’s attention to what Giorgio Agamben calls a ‘zone of indeterminacy’ between human and animal life, and what Andreas Höfele identifies as the complex doubleness of similarity and difference that runs through all of Shakespeare’s animal–human relations, beginning with the comic dialogues of Crab and Lance in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

The article studies the original conception of convergence of capitalism and socialism proposed by well-known American (USA) economist and sociologist John Galbraith in connection with 50-th anniversary of publishing his world-wide known book «The New Industrial State», which actuality is connected with current problems of implementation the newly industrialization of economy, including – and especially – in Russia. The article proves that the «epoch of industrial state» has not been finished yet neither in the middle of last century, nor in our century. The Galbraith’s conception is been compared with J. Schumpeter’s and J. Keynes’s theories of economic development of capitalism. The article gives critical analysis of the evolution of Galbraith’s views, his explanation of «new socialism», which, according to Galbraith’s point of view, has come to industrially developed western countries and Japan. There are also suggested some thoughts about the content of the newly industrialization, as far as it’s special features and tasks in Russia.

Beginning Date

The beginning student of German economic history, should he happen to read more than one text, may be pardoned a certain sense of confusion. General texts agree that Germany became an industrial power, but there remains a remarkable uncertainty as to when this occurred. “During the period from 1870 to 1914 Germany was transformed from a predominantly agrarian to a predominantly industrial state,” asserts Koppel Pinson. He explicitly dismisses the 1850's as a “prelude,” but Ralph Flenley insists that “the real ‘foundation time’ came earlier, most markedly in the fifties….Not the railways alone but the whole economic framework of modern Germany arose during the period before 1870.” In a recent short synthesis of German economic history, Knut Borchardt warns that “experts still disagree” over the beginning date of the “foreward leap.”

Specific Contribution

This paper was presented by the Executive Secretary at the twentieth anniversary convention of the Australian Institute of Navigation held in Sydney, New South Wales, on 10 and 11 October 1969.In July this year two men landed on the Moon, certainly the most spectacular navigational achievement of mankind. It was a voyage backed by all the massive scientific resources of a modern industrial state, in which thousands of people were directly involved. The astronauts were a single link in a navigational loop employing a host of technologies.Two hundred years previously James Cook had sailed on the first of his three great voyages, during which he discovered New Zealand and the coast of New South Wales. Cook was perhaps the most illustrious navigator of all times, even if perhaps he advanced the art more by force of character than by any specific contribution. When he started his voyages, the art of nautical astronomy was in its infancy. At their finish William Wales could comment, in 1788, that no officer who had been concerned with them ‘would not, whatever his real skill may be, feel ashamed to have it thought that he did not know how to observe for and compute the time at sea, though but a short time before these voyages…such a thing was scarcely ever heard of among seamen; and even first-rate astronomers doubted the probability of doing it with sufficient exactness’.
