Not "directly involved" as the title suggests, but "shopping for a girlfriend" in a small town. (French title: Les Onze mille verges) * This is what is known as a "one-take-movie": the shooting of the film was a single take. The movie consists of the assistant director asking each of the "shoppers" to re-enter the frame and make a little love scene. There's a full cast of 12. Not only does this make the video (in French) look like a conversation, it makes for an interesting half-hour plus of giggling. On the French cable channel Canal Plus, it's known as "The 10 000 Verges one-take movie". Watch it for the giggling. ** Note: for playback on your computer, I recommend selecting the fullscreen (when the video player pops up, hit the fullscreen button) and for stills, I recommend omitting the audio. Rating: 18.Non-market allocation of intellectual resources during the Victorian period: the case of the Anglican clergy.
Most economic and social historians have tended to ignore non-market allocation, with the possible exception of Herbert Butterfield, who had some interest in this area. Much of the research has tended to concentrate on the market exchange of intellectual capital (e.g. Locke, Locke's economics and later studies of the development of the science of economics), while only a handful of studies have attempted to examine the non-market allocation of intellectual capital outside the church, with the tendency to concentrate on one individual, the Cambridge economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo. There has been little consideration of other authors in terms of their institutional context. By using as its object a number of clergymen who had only a modest level of education and who published much more on topics outside the demands of the market, it is possible to trace the evolution of the clerical production of intellectual capital over the Victorian period. The data analysed came from the surviving manuscripts of clergymen at Cambridge University and elsewhere. This paper examines their work in terms of its location in a changing clerical institutional framework.The United States has refused to send its ambassador to Venezuela as relations between Washington and Caracas have worsened.
