The Emergence of Modern Business Enterprise in France, 1800–1930

The Emergence of Modern Business Enterprise in France, 1800–1930

Michael Stephen Smith

Harvard University Press
2006
sidottu
In this magisterial study, Michael Smith explains how France left behind small-scale merchant capitalism for the large corporate enterprises that would eventually dominate its domestic economy and project French influence throughout the world. Arguing against the long-standing view that French economic and business development was crippled by missed opportunities and entrepreneurial failures, Smith presents a story of considerable achievement. French companies made major contributions to the Second Industrial Revolution of 1880-1930, especially in ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, electrochemicals, industrial gases, and motor vehicles. Rejecting the notion that France took a separate route to economic modernity, Smith argues that it tracked other industrial nations along a path dominated by large-scale production and corporate enterprise. Technological and organizational capabilities acquired by French companies prior to 1930 played a key role in the country's rapid economic recovery after World War II and its broader economic success in the second half of the twentieth century. Smith also addresses the distinctive characteristics of French economic and business development, including the pivotal role of the French state, the pervasive influence of French financiers, and the significance of labor conflict. This superb account is an invaluable contribution to business history and the history of modern France.

History of the Royal Naval College, Osborne, 1903-23

History of the Royal Naval College, Osborne, 1903-23

Michael Stephen Partridge

The Royal Naval College at Osborne on the Isle of Wight was in operation from 1903 to 1921 and was the junior section of the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. Boys went there at the age of 12, moving on to Dartmouth at 14 or 15. Among the sons of several European royal families sent to the college were the future King George VI and Earl Mountbatten. It was also the institution where the incident occurred on which Terence Rattigan based his play, "The Winslow Boy". Having been selected by a process of interview, examination and medical, cadets were introduced to the life of a Royal Naval officer. They were taught how to behave - how to salute, march and how to prepare for life on board ship. They also studied a wide range of subjects, spent time on the playing fields and scrambled for food in the college refectory. In the early 1990s, encouraged by a number of retired officers who had been at Osborne, the Society for Nautical Research initiated a study by two naval historians. As a result, a large number of interviews wre conducted with a wide spectrum of cadets: their reminiscences are recorded here together with archive photographs. The author describes how the inception of the Fisher-Selborne scheme for officer training led to the foundation of the college. He also examines the college's organization and structure, the selection procedure and the reasons for and process of its closure in 1921. The text evaluates the lasting achievements of the college in the light of history.

Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind

Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind

Michael Stephen Patton

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2020
sidottu
Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind: The Ancient Era, Vol. 1 documents with historical and clinical data the correlation between Catholic sexual orthodoxy and Catholic sexual pathology. The Roman church government replaced the sex positive Hebrew Tradition, which integrated the love of women and sex in Judaism with a sex negative Christian Tradition, which integrated the hatred of women and sex in church doctrine. Jesus followed the sex positive holistic Hebrew Tradition rather than the sex negative dualistic Christian Tradition. Across 2000 years of Christian tradition Catholic sex negative doctrines, morals, laws and practices enforced by an authoritarian rather than democratic Roman church system allegedly caused mass human suffering and damage in both the Catholic Mind and the Western Mind. Using a multidisciplinary methodology the book traces a faulty sexual anthropology historically and culturally rooted in various pagan Greek, Roman and Persian sexual dualisms, which became Catholic sexual orthodoxy and which became a terminal cancer in both the Catholic Mind and the Western Mind. The book, while using extensive resources and annotated endnotes, is an interdisciplinary intellectual exercise, which examines Catholic sexual pathology through the lens of history, theology, philosophy, law, medicine, sexology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and anthropology, while using the scientific method.The book represents a pioneer effort across a 50 year span to examine the review of literature and to empirically document the mass human suffering and damage caused by Catholic sexual orthodoxy in both the Catholic Mind and the Western Mind.

Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind: The Early Medieval Era, Vol. 2 continues to document the correlation between Catholic sexual orthodoxy and Catholic sexual pathology. In 380 A.D. the Christian Church became the official religion of the Roman state government. The Catholic Church became the reincarnation of the Western Roman Empire (27 B.C.—476 A.D.) as it adopted the educational, medical, political, economic and military structures to become the crux of the Roman church government. The Medieval Catholic Church used pagan Greek, Roman and Persian sex negative codes while rejecting Hebrew sex positive codes and "flawed" German sex positive codes in establishing Catholic sexual orthodoxy. In the thirteenth century under a papal reign of terror heretics, Jews, witches, sodomites, prostitutes and lepers became targets of hate across Medieval Catholic Europe. The Papal Inquisition (1227–1500) intensified sexual repression and violence as the cultural norms when it condemned human sexual pleasure and human sexual love as evil. The papacy attempted to root out heresy which represented liberal, human, scholarly and scientific thinking. Heresy opposed church orthodoxy that kept the common people locked in "mental and emotional chains" and prevented men and women from living the authentic gospel of Jesus. Heretics were charged with deviant human sexual behavior. The fascist papacy employed Dominican and Franciscan priest-lawyers, most of whom had double-doctorates in canon law and civil law (doctor utriusque juris), to search across Europe in gestapo fashion for unorthodox men and women who could be prosecuted, imprisoned, tortured and burned. The Papal Inquisition, which placed mass fear, guilt, shame and anxiety in the common people over human sexual thoughts, human sexual emotions and human sexual behavior, reveals the veneer of Catholic sexual pathology reinforced by Catholic institutional pathology.
