Contemporary American Jewelry Design

2018 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

The Phenomenon of Studio Goldsmithing When the history of art in the 1980s is written, much of it will be etched in gold. This is the time of the contemporary goldsmith, an artist who chooses to work in precious metals rather than oils or marble. The contemporary jeweler-as-artist has only recently become a re cognized force. With rare exceptions, the whole field is little more than thirty years old. But it is only within the past fifteen years that these jewelers have entered the jewelry mainstream. The phenomenon of contemporary goldsmithing embraces an eclectic group of artists, each with a unique vision, each taking a per sonal path to jewelry producing. They have as little relationship to the typical, mass-produced jewelry as a champagne maker has to a bottler of orange soda. They approach a piece of art, not a piece of metal. The work is personal and a perfect expression of the "back to the land" movement that spawned it. Many of these goldsmiths were looking not merely for a way to make a living but for a way to make a life that was worthy of living. Running a business while trying to remain a creative metalsmith at the same time is the ongoing challenge. The jeweler-artists have solved or resolved these often conflicting needs in slightly different ways and in a beautiful variety of techniques and styles. Their meth ods, their growth, and their work are discussed here.

On the Theory of Interest

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

The Theory of Interest is concerned with the problem of explaining (A) why economic systems have interest rates and (B) what determines the values these interest rates assume. The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained exposition of an approach to these questions developed mostly over the past twenty years. Making use of a simplified economy in which consumption goods are produced from labor and capital, it is shown that even in a steady state under 'normal' conditions it is necessary to have an interest rate which is strictly greater than the growth rate of the labor force if the economy is to be in equilibrium meaning that supply and demand for all goods are equal. This answers (A) above. In the final section, the author answers (B) by showing that the interest rate r gives, roughly speaking, a measure of the amount of increase in future 'consumption' obtainable for a unit sacrifice of consumption in the present.
