“…Davenport (1906, p. 159), who unequivocally titled his review article “A New Text; Seligman: ‘Social Value,’” cautioned his readers that “whatever is said here is … general in its reference,” rather than “primarily an examination of Professor Seligman’s doctrine as such.” Taussig, who phrased his criticism in decidedly harsher terms, was far more explicit. In the discussion of value and distribution, he wrote (1906, p. 627) that Seligman follows so closely the “lead of his colleague, Professor J. B. Clark,” that “to express an opinion on this part of his book is … to express it on that scholar’s contributions to economic theory.” 11…”

This paper provides a reconstruction of the debate on “social value” among early marginalists in the US. This will be done in three steps. The first step analyzes John B. Clark’s approach to social value as presented in his Distribution of Wealth; the second step deals with other influential contemporaries who adopted a similar social value perspective, with a main focus on Edwin R. A. Seligman; the third step discusses those critics who, with due differences in emphasis and style, animated the debate over social value, reviewing (among others) the contributions of Herbert J. Davenport, Joseph Schumpeter, Benjamin Anderson, John Maurice Clark, and George P. Watkins. The final section presents some conclusions.

“…Arguing that sex is strongly connected to the power of reproduction, which is in turn connected to ova and sperm and to the gonads producing them, Taussig claims that these elements have to be the determining factors, rather than "such a purely subjective element as sexual feeling or the psychic sexuality." 53 Although Goffe never suggests in his initial article that he allowed E. C. to choose because he believed her psychological sexuality more important than other grounds for the decision on her sex, Taussig starts to argue against him as if he did. Taussig's presupposition is that the decision to give E. C. the right to choose must have been based on Goffe's observation of her "psychic sexuality."…”

Neugebauer, the most important international expert on hermaphroditism, to ask his advice on a particular case. 1 Emma R. had come to his hospital with heavy pains in the right groin. She was twenty-five years old, had never menstruated, and had never noticed anything abnormal about her sex except the incidental growth of a small organ that excreted some fluid. For eighteen months she had been engaged to be married. König's medical investigation showed that Emma R. had a small hypospadiac penis, that her right groin contained a testicle, and that her vagina ended in a cul-de-sac. His overall impression was that Emma R. was feminine. While talking to her, he writes, one does not doubt that one is dealing with a feminine being. Moreover, he observes that her "whole thinking and feeling were feminine." König summarizes his questions to Von Neugebauer as follows: "1. Would you inform this person about her actual condition? 2. Would you deny her the right to have intercourse with men? 3. Would you absolutely forbid marriage?" 2 Von Neugebauer answers these questions very briefly but remarkably: In such cases, in which the person concerned shows definite female sexgender consciousness, the doctor acts more humanely if he does not inform the person about the erreur de sexe that has taken place. To the hermaphrodite, his own sex-gender consciousness should be normative and more GLQ 11:1 pp. 65-94

“…As Georgescu-Roegen (1971) observed, the process of production is concerned with the application of labour and knowledge to inanimate matter, subject to the laws of entropy. This approach to the study of national competitiveness is not new of course, but harks back to Ricardo's original formulation of the theory of comparative advantage (see Taussig, 1939 for a classic treatment of Ricardian international trade theory). Here we formulate two versions of a labour-based production function that will be used to test the national input-output data provided by the Dutch CBS (CBS, 1994), the German SB (SB, 1997) and British ONS (ONS, 1995) respectively.…”
