	Harvard Gazette: Barrington Moore Jr., 92, Harvard sociologist
		Barrington Moore Jr., a Harvard University sociologist, died in his home in Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 16, 2005, at the age of 92.
		Moore had a profound impact on a generation of scholars in the social sciences, many of whom were his students at Harvard where he taught from 1951 until 1979.
		Moore was an avid sailor and skier for most of his life and taught both after his retirement with the same great conviction and skill that he devoted to scholarly work and teaching.

	Moore, B., Jr.: Moral Purity and Persecution in History. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Barrington Moore's Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy was a foundational work of historical sociology that influenced a generation of social scientists and, decades later, continues to be widely read and taught.
		Moore's provocative conclusion is that monotheism--with its monopoly on virtue and failure to provide supernatural scapegoats--is responsible for some of the most virulent forms of intolerance and is a major cause of human nastiness and suffering.
		Moore does not say that the monotheist tradition was the primary source of Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, violent Hindu fundamentalism, or ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, but he does identify it as an indispensable cause because it justified, encouraged, and spread vindictive persecution throughout the world.

	Barrington Moore, Jr.
		Moore graduated from Williams, went on to a Yale Ph.D. and service in the wartime Office of Strategic Services, then taught at Chicago for two years before taking up a post as research associate at Harvard's Russian Research Center.
		At Harvard, Moore was reluctant to take on the routine administration and petty politics of university departments; only late in his career did he move from lecturer to professor.
		Despite this life of relative ease, Moore maintained a fierce commitment to democracy, a contempt for intolerance and injustice, a hatred for tyrannies of all persuasions, and a conviction that changing material conditions shape human political action.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: IN MEMORIAM: Barrington Moore, Jr.
		Moore was reclusive, sharp, and demanding in the classroom.
		Moore was an avid sailor and, according to Walder, would spend around six months per year living alone on his sailboat, which was docked in Maine.
		Moore was also known to invite his favorite few students to his house to dine with him and his wife, Betty, a few times a year.

	Barrington Moore Jr.; analyst of totalitarianism; 92 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Barrington Moore Jr., a Harvard sociologist whose studies of the contemporary human condition led him to dissect the totalitarian society, particularly as it evolved in the Soviet Union, died Oct. 16 at his home in Cambridge, Mass.
		Plumb wrote that Dr. Moore had tackled a vast topic, namely "the routes by which various countries have come to the modern industrial world." In discussing their significant differences, he also provided "exceptionally perceptive" social analyses to compare conditions in, say, India and Prussia, Plumb suggested.
		Moore's two most recent volumes also are in print: "Moral Aspects of Economic Growth and Other Essays" (Cornell, 1998), and "Moral Purity and Persecution in History" (Princeton, 2000).

	The Last Page :: Dissent Winter 2006 Issue
		When Barrington Moore, Jr., died October 16 at age ninety-two, I remembered the mandatory meetings for coffee he scheduled with students at the place he called “the greasy spoon down the block” in Harvard Square.
		We learned that Moore sailed his own boat all summer off the coast of Maine with his wife and a big pile of books.
		He was explicit about this, openly defying Marx’s dictum in the famous eleventh thesis on Feuerbach: the task, Moore told us, was “to understand the world.” That was a full-time job, and it would take everything we had.

	The New York Review of Books: REVOLUTION IN AMERICA?
		Although on the whole I agree with Barrington Moore's views on revolution in America, there are other possible approaches which he has not examined sufficiently.
		His final conclusion seems to be that the best we can really hope for is a continuation of liberal reform and further progress toward social democracy, but at the same time he seems to wish that it were otherwise.
		But, as Moore points out, a direct and total reconstruction of the social order through revolution is impossible.

	EphBlog: Jackall on Moore '36
		As a follow up to our obituary on Barrington Moore, Professor Robert Jackall provided this paper on "The Education of Barrington Moore, Jr."
		Moore's wide-ranging grasp of different epochs is the product of a lifetime of feeding the flame of his curiosity, kindled by the classical liberal arts education of his youth, about how the intricacies and subtleties of language, culture, social structure, and history shape institutional forces and biographies to create sometimes fantastic social worlds.
		In Moore's day, since the student body was small (under 1,000), the faculty wasn't huge, and so each professor was responsible for large swaths of History, English, etc., that today would be considered way too broad.

	Agorist Quarterly - Joseph Stromberg - English Enclosures and Soviet Collectivization
		This process, whose eloquent heralds include Marx, Max Weber, Barrington Moore, Jr., and Immanuel Wallerstein, made for a hybrid transitional society in which precapitalist and capitalist attitudes and institutions uneasily coexisted.
		The nature and course of the enclosures are complex matters, indeed; some of the best accounts of the process are found in the writings of those whom we might call “semipessimists,” such as Paul Mantoux, Barrington Moore, Jr., Theda Skocpol, and Pauline Gregg (tracing their origin, perhaps, from Thorold Rogers).
		In addition to the open fields and the wastes, large areas of land were given over to commercial agriculture and stock raising by landlords or their large-scale tenant farmers, especially in south and central England.
