Making Youth Safe for Democracy: Education & American Enterprise, 1916-1980 with Maxwell Greenberg
The organization “Junior Achievement” was first conceived in 1916 when three wealthy, influential men decided that American youth needed to be educated on the values of hard work, thrift, and the developing hierarchy of corporate management. From that beginning, however, the organization’s purpose evolved to promote the American system of free enterprise and eventually entrepreneurialism to the youth of the United States and several other countries.
In his dissertation project Maxwell Greenberg, PhD student in history and educational policy at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, charts the history of Junior Achievement from its inception to 1998, when it had successfully exported its model and values to the former Soviet bloc. Greenberg’s work demonstrates how the history of education must look beyond the school as an institution to gain a broader understanding of the diverse locations and organizations involved in the education of every individual and every generation.
In support of his work, Greenberg received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library. For more information, and more Hagley History Hangouts, visit us online at hagley.org.

Commercial Attention: Advertising, Space, & New Media in the U.S. with Jacob Saindon
Переглядів 4621 день тому
The “attention economy” has gotten lots of press in recent years as tech companies and advertising firms have begun to perceive human attention as a limited resource and to fight for their share of the potential revenue to be generated by it. However, the concept of human attention as an economically valuable resource goes back well beyond digital technologies at least to the early years of mas...
Labor, Technology, & Race in the Early 19th Century Global Textile Industry with Hunter Moskowitz

While it is often assumed that early industrialization was a spatially and socially concentrated phenomenon, associated primarily with white capitalists in the northwestern and northeastern corners of Europe and North America respectively, the historical reality was much more complex, and more interesting.

The Only Way Is Up: Self-Employment in Britain, 1950-2000 with Amy Edwards

The self-employed have many motivations for choosing or accepting their working arrangements. A business model that taps into the desire for people to “work for themselves” can mobilize the capital, networks, and labor of large numbers of people at comparatively low cost. Whether through franchising, direct-selling, or other methods, major firms became enablers, advocates, and beneficiaries of ...
Chemistry, Capitalism, & the Commodification of Nitrogen with Chris Morris

Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s atmosphere, it is essential to life and biological processes, and yet it is virtually impossible to access nitrogen absent the mediation of something or someone that can “fix” gaseous atmospheric nitrogen into a stable form. Historically, these mediators were biological organisms, such as cyanobacteria, that can fix nitrogen and make it avail...

Holy Holes: Mining and Religion in the Americas with Rebecca Janzen

When miners go underground, they enter a spiritual realm distinct from that aboveground. Across time, places, and cultures, miners have made religious observance part of their work, building shrines, making offerings, and naming places after sacred personages. What connects these practices, and how can we access the meaning behind them? The latest research of Rebecca Janzen, professor of Spanis...

The United States patent system was one of the most democratic government systems when it was first established. This is clearly demonstrated in Hagley’s unique collection of 19th-century patent models. Unlike other parts of American life, the early patent process was not closed off to individuals because of their race, ethnicity, or gender. In this presentation from February 22, 2024, Hagley M...

Work tires folks, and if fatigue is allowed to continue unabated, it can wear them right out.

The dissertation research of Tina Wei, PhD candidate at Harvard University, demonstrates that this matter was ...
Freedom to Harm: Private Violence and the American State, 1860-1895 with Hugh Wood

The Weberian definition of the state is an institution with a monopoly over legitimate violence within a defined territory. Eager to explain the genesis of European nation states, Weber’s model is a poor fit for the history and experience of American statehood. What might explain the marked failure of the United States government to monopolize violence within its territory, and the historical a...

The Rhetorical Prehistory of the New Deal with James Kimble
You can only sit back and marvel at the fact that John D'Angelico and Jimmy D'Aquisto made all their instruments by hand! Imagine how labor intensive that is! I am sure Jimmy is blessed that he is the only worthy successor to D'Angelico.
my dad had a jerrold tenna rotor do you know anything about that brand
I remember Strawbridge and Clothier. We would go there to buy my school clothes and have chocolate strawberry milkshakes for lunch. ❤
Genius, gone too soon. Another great, NY, Italian guitar maker. Beautiful film.
Lawd have mercy what a different world....... I was born a year later... Can you imagine how much EASIER it would be to sell those vacuums then vs now?
"Mind if I step in?" 1971: "Please do." 2024: "Get the F*&$ away from here."
😍😍😇😃🤩
🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
15.30 "United always having problems" Seems some things never change..... 😂😂😂
Were people actually this excited to work for Kirby, or were there a lot of martinis drank before this meeting? Are there any Kirby salesmen out there who would like to share their experiences? For the record, I have nothing against Kirby. I love mine. I have the Heritage 2, which is still kicking strong after 30+ years!
Wasn't 'The Beave' the CUTEST little thing!?
I LOVE these people! Can't get enough of The Cleavers, even in a commercial!!!
This is actually a promo film for retailers selling flashbulbs
it has all the appeal of a pair of bolt cutters.... yawn...
Found the logbook with his signature from this visit in one of the old hangers when I worked there in '72.
And under phoned home is a wearisome thing. Fresh it up or phone it up! Phone it up for spring!
Obscene! Gratuitous enthusiasm to a ridiculous extent that makes the typical high school football pep rally look staid by comparison. There is a faint echo of pentecostalism in the singing and hypnotic hand-clapping. Kirby sales is a cult, a form of slavery. People are seduced by the promise of riches and are never paid. They are made to work well into the night and are taught servility toward their “leaders”, as well as techniques of coercion.
I really love the DNA from D'Angelico to D'Aquisto...it tells the whole story.... call my a life long guitar guy... anyone want to jam!!
Geezus where do I sign up at?
Back when the U.S was the greatest nation on earth.
She’s always on the right side
An amazing woman. Should we say humans? Completely impressive human.
She’s taught me more about the world than anyone else
She’s the bomb
Completely impressive person
Listen!
She’s it!
I don’t abide bad talk about prof. Delton
I'm almost positive the camera guy, daniel, is david ducovny's brother.
man, this video is a treasure. Jimmy was a true Italian craftsman.
An admirer from "Down Under"; the art of the fine guitar indeed. Paid such a high price .. RIP now Jimmy. I consider myself lucky enough to have an exceptionally sounding 1937 L5. The D'Aquistos are right up there amongst hallowed company. Did Jimmy ever take on an apprentice?
>>>>>>>>>>> THIS IS A WORTHLESS ""STUDIO CHIT-CHAT"",,,,,,,READ A BOOK !!!!!!!!!

15:20 He's wincing as he sprays the guitar. At that distance in a tiny corner with zero protection, the brain and lung damage from those fumes probably shortened his life over the years. Old masters sacrifice a lot for their craft, mostly in solitude.
❤
I had lunch with Jimmy once at a guitar makers convention with his son. Super nice cat, down to earth. It's so sad he's gone...
Back when flying was all class. Now it's all ass.
Something with meat and potatoes in it.
I could look at that all day long.
Very infomative and precise.
And what disturbed me is not once am I ever mentioned.
And you would think. That they never adopted me. Because not once am I ever mentioned.
The interviewers nick name is dimples.
That's so heart warming. Not.
Wondering what it was like, prices for a family
Never saw the Cleaver family promoting/selling any kind of merchandise. Ward did a convincing job. Very entertaining and quite classy.
Loved remembering watching The Beaver in real time and reruns!
This was fun to watch! They played their characters on the show but at the same time, acknowledged that it was just a show!
Having a girl and a farm like that back then would have been kick-ass.
The actors are still pausing for the laugh track even though they didn't add it.
The last time I heard of the Hagley Museum was when I made multiple visits there as a small child. This was so long ago that it was apparently very soon after the museum first opened. But despite that, I still remember various things about the exhibits and the tour and was left with a very positive impression. Not sure why this video showed up but that’s why I decided that it would likely be something interesting.
Narrated by Luis Van Rooten, architect, multilingual actor and scholar, and author of "Un petit d'un petit."
Cool history video. Note the fact that no Black people are present in these parks shows that segregation was practiced just as well as the south.
Thanks so much for uploading!
As the author of "The World Famous Beaverpedia," a nearly 500 page book on the show, I thought I had seen all LITB related videos, but this one is new to me. Thank you very much for sharing this video. If you have a chance, I hope you get to check out my book.
