  • 5 Thomas, Sidney Gilchrist

    SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy
    [br]
    b. 16 April 1850 London, England
    d. 1 February 1885 Paris, France
    [br]
    English inventor of basic steelmaking.
    [br]
    Thomas was educated at Dulwich College and from the age of 17, for the next twelve years, he made his living as a police-court clerk, although he studied chemistry in his spare time as an evening student at Birkbeck College, London. While there, he heard of the difficulties encountered by the Bessemer steelmaking process, which at that time was limited to using phosphorus-free iron. Any of this element present in the iron was oxidized to phosphoric acid, which would not react with the acidic lining in the converter, with the result that it would remain in the iron and render it too brittle to use. Unfortunately, phosphoric iron ores are more common than those free of this harmful element. Thomas was attracted by the view that a fortune awaited anyone who could solve this problem, and was not discouraged by the failure of several august figures in the industry, including Siemens and Lowthian Bell.
    Thomas's knowledge of chemistry taught him that whereas an acidic lining allowed the phosphorus to remain in the iron, a basic lining would react with it to form part of the slag, which could then be tapped off. His experiments to find a suitable material were conducted in difficult conditions, in his spare time with meagre apparatus. Finally he found that a converter lined with dolomite, a form of limestone, would succeed, and he appealed to his cousin Percy Carlyle Gilchrist, Chemist at the Blaenavon Ironworks in Monmouthshire, for help in carrying out pilot-scale trials. In 1879 he gave up his police-court job to devote himself to the work, and in the same year they patented the Thomas- Gilchrist process. The first licence to use it was granted to Bolckow, Vaughan \& Co. of Middlesborough, and there the first steel was made in a basic Bessemer converter on 4 April 1879. The process was rapidly taken up and spread widely in Europe and beyond and was applied to other furnaces. Thomas made a fortune, but his health did not long allow him to enjoy it, for he died at the early age of 34.

  • 7 dismal science

    эк. мрачная наука (согласно распространенному мнению, такое выражение употребил Т. Карлейль после знакомства с работами Т. Мальтуса по отношению к классической политической экономии, предсказывающей неизбежную бедноту рабочего класса; современные исследователи не подтверждают эту информацию и утверждают, что Карлейль употребил это выражение совсем по другому поводу: в статье 1849 г. на страницах журнала "Fraser's Magazine" во время обсуждения проблемы освобождения чернокожих рабов в 1840-х гг. Карлейль очень негативно оценивал последствия этого освобождения — свободные негры не хотели работать за прежнюю заработную плату и в прежних условиях и плантаторы испытывали серьезные проблемы с рабочей силой; Карлейль считал, что рабство предопределено природой, так как одни люди умнее и лучше других и имеют право заставлять других подчиняться, а всеобщая свобода и власть спроса и предложения, которую предлагают классические экономисты, является "мрачной наукой": "the Social Science which finds the secret of this Universe in supply and demand and reduces the duty of human governors to that of letting men aloneis a dreary, desolate, and indeed quite abject and distressing one; what we might call the dismal science"; в следующем номере Карлейлю возражал Дж. Ст. Милль, который утверждал, что Карлейль предлагает установить "закон сильнейшего", но лучшие умы человечества всегда протестовали против подобной тирании; из этой дискуссии и родился ярлык "мрачная наука", которым стали обозначать политическую экономию)

  • 10 Emerson, Ralph Waldo

    (1803-1882) Эмерсон, Ралф Уолдо
    Философ, поэт и эссеист. Сын бостонского священника, изучал богословие в Гарварде [ Harvard University] и сам стал священником, но через несколько лет был лишен сана из-за расхождений с официальной церковью. В 1832-33 совершил путешествие в Европу, где познакомился с английскими писателями и испытал сильное влияние Томаса Карлайла [Carlyle, Thomas]. Вернувшись в Америку, продолжил деятельность проповедника, но постепенно перешел к чтению публичных лекций по естественной истории и философии. Постепенно вокруг него сложился кружок интеллектуалов, получивший известность как "Клуб трансценденталистов" [Transcendental Club, Transcendentalists]. В ту пору его другом и учеником стал Г. Торо [ Thoreau, Henry David]. В ранних эссе ("Природа" ["Nature"] (1836) и др.) и лекциях, лишь отчасти отражавших взгляды трансценденталистов, подчеркивал могущество человеческого "Я" в восприятии и познании мира и призывал к большей вере в себя и собственные силы. Однако к середине 1840-х разочаровался в этой теории, признав, что неизбежная субъективность восприятия ведет к изоляции каждой личности в "лабиринте сознания". В более позднем сборнике эссе "Путь жизни" ["The Conduct of Life"] (1860), задавшись вопросом: "Что есть судьба?" ["fate, or conduct?"], он отвечает: "Все, что человек делает" ["Whatever is done"]. Поэтому на вопрос: "Как человек должен жить?" философ дает ответ: "Так, как он может" ["As he can"]. К концу жизни был признан величайшим философом Америки XIX века и получил прозвище "конкордский мудрец" ["The Sage of Concord"] (по городу близ Бостона, где он жил). "Канонизация" Эмерсона, мыслителя, прославившегося в период расцвета своего творчества антитрадиционализмом, привела к тому, что он стал чем-то вроде "национального института", а его взгляды были использованы как философское обоснование экономической доктрины вседозволенности [laissez-faire economics]. Его наиболее известные эссе и лекции: "Американский ученый" ["The American Scholar"] (1837), "Представители человечества" ["Representative Men"] (1850), "Английские черты" ["English Traits"] (1856). Опубликовал также несколько сборников стихов, которые, по мнению современных критиков, во многом опередили поэтические открытия, сделанные У. Уитменом [ Whitman, Walt (Walter)] и У. Стивенсом [ Stevens, Wallace]

    Poor old Thomas Carlyle, permanently and irretrievably burdened with having described economics as “the dismal science”. He was really talking about political economy, at the time a slightly different beast. But whatever one’s view of economics (I failed the only exam I ever took in the subject, so may be considered biased), lexicographically speaking it has been a fruitful term.
    These opaque musings were prompted by what journalists have started to call Enronomics, in reference to the accounting practices of the failed US corporation Enron and their implications for the Bush administration. It’s not as popular yet as Enrongate for the same imbroglio, but shows slight signs of fashionableness, having appeared in several US newspapers recently, and having even made it across the Atlantic to a British Sunday newspaper within hours. However, its chances of taking a permanent place in the language seem vanishingly small.
    Before we tar journalists too heavily with the brush of knee-jerk word invention for the sake of novelty, in fairness it has to be said that people have been borrowing that ending for at least 150 years. Agronomics, for example, was coined in the 1860s as a term for what is now often called agronomy, and ergonomics was invented about 1950.
    The Greek original of economics splits nicely in two to make -nomics, since its source was oikos, house, plus nemein, to manage (so economics literally means “household management”, which really brings it back to earth, or at least to home and hearth).
    But its move into the overtly political arena really dates from late 1969, when Nixonomics was invented as an umbrella term for the economic policies of President Richard Milhous Nixon. But the word which settled its popularity—Reaganomics—arrived in the early eighties; it was followed in the early nineties by Clintonomics. In the eighties, Britain briefly had Thatchernomics, though it was never very popular; New Zealand’s former Minister of Finance, Roger Douglas, provoked Rogernomics (a rare case of a politician’s first name rather than family name being borrowed). Other British politicians have had it applied to them in a half-hearted and short-lived way (Majornomics, Haguenomics) and Americans may remember Dolenomics from 1996.
    These examples settled the ending firmly into the grab-bags of topical writers. A sign of its acceptance is that it now pops up from time to time attached to words other than politicians’ names. Back in 1996, a report by Kleinwort Benson described the policies of Malaysia as Noddynomics, which greatly displeased that country’s government. Burgernomics has been applied to the global economic policies and impact of certain fast-food firms. Cybernomics has been used for the economic implications of the digital economy. And so on.
    So we ought not to be surprised that Enronomics has popped up, though it is unusual in being attached to the name of a corporation.
