John Bates Clark Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography The American economist John Bates Clark (1847-1938) was the first economic theorist from the United States to achieve an international reputation. John Bates Clark was born and raised in Providence, R. In 1872, after an absence due to his father's illness and death, Clark graduated from Amherst College. Clark's own analysis was a static description of economic laws in an unchanging society where perfect competition led to economic equilibrium. www.bookrags.com /biography/john-bates-clark   (556 words)

Economics Interactive John Bates Clark was the leading American economic theorist at the beginning of the twentieth century. Clark's complete writings were intended to restructure classical theories of value and distribution, but his most enduring contribution is found in the marginal productivity theory of income distribution set forth in The Distribution of Wealth (1899). Clark reasoned that, although tasks within a firm differ in importance, if a worker engaged in an important task were removed, the remaining work would be reassigned so that all essential tasks would be done, leaving the least important tasks undone. www.unc.edu /depts/econ/byrns_web/EC434/HET/Pioneers/clark.htm   (595 words)

John Bates Clark John Bates Clark is best known for developing the "marginal productivity" concept and the "product exhaustion" thesis behind the Marginal Productivity Theory of Distribution, which he was (arguably) the first to develop in 1889, from which he then extrapolated enormous ethical conclusions (esp. in his famous 1899 tome). Clark's "parable" was taken up in the 1930s by Frank Knight in another capital controversy and, when it was incorporated into Neoclassical growth theory in the 1950s, it generated yet another battle, the Cambridge Capital Controversy. As one of few American economists of the Marginalist school and a prominent apologist for the capitalist system, John Bates Clark was a great opponent of the Institutionalist School - and, as a consequence, became one of Thorstein Veblen's favorite targets. cepa.newschool.edu /het/profiles/clark.htm   (472 words)

Henry George's influence on John Bates Clark: the concept of rent was pivotal to equating wages with the marginal ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09) Clark employed a socioeconomic perspective before his discovery of marginalism and based it on a populist frame of mind similar to George's. George shared Clark's appreciation for the usefulness of treating society as an organism and both recognized, as did Austrian economics, that analysis of the individual units of that organism were as important as analysis of the total picture. (Clark 1886, 65-73) According to Clark, the "solidarity of capital" was being countered by "a solidarity of labor." (Clark 1886, 68) This opposed solidarity, however, fostered social strife, with each party claiming justice was on its side. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0254/is_n3_v54/ai_17129833   (822 words)

Clark: The Distribution of Wealth, Front Matter: Library of Economics and Liberty This 1908 edition is the third reprinting of Clark's path-breaking, yet widely under-read, 1899 textbook, in which he developed marginal productivity theory and used it to explore the way income is distributed between wages, interest, and rents in a market economy. It is the purpose of this work to show that the distribution of the income of society is controlled by a natural law, and that this law, if it worked without friction, would give to every agent of production the amount of wealth which that agent creates.

EconPapers: John Bates Clark on Trusts: New Light from the Columbia Archives John Bates Clark on Trusts: New Light from the Columbia Archives What he advocates here is government promotion of actual competition, largely through the dissolution of the “perilous” trusts and the development of a common pricing policy where all producers face the same price regimes in both the output and input markets. What is desired as an outcome is the promotion of what Clark terms “tolerant competition.” Tolerant competition is not the perfect competition of the neoclassical model, nor the rough-andready competition of the pre-1870 era. econpapers.repec.org /paper/usiwpaper/462.htm   (256 words)
