# Moncloa Pacts

The Moncloa Pacts (Spanish: Pactos de la Moncloa) (full title: the Agreement on the Program of Sanitation and Reform of the Economy and the Agreement on the Program of Legal and Political Action) were economic and political agreements to address inflation and unemployment during the Spanish transition to democracy and were signed on October 15, 1977 at the Palacio de la Moncloa by representatives of the major labor unions — the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) and the Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores (CNT) and the government. The objective was to reduce the foreign deficit and reduce inflation. After signing, the Pacts were ratified by Spain's Congress of Deputies on October 17 and the Spanish Senate on November 11.

## Economic problems

Spain's first democratically elected government faced many economic issues when it was elected in June 1977. These included the petrol crisis of 1973 (which had taken some time to reach Spain), the rise of unemployment to 7% exacerbated by a return of emigres to Spain after the death of Francisco Franco, inflation rising to 40%, capital flight in the last years of the dictatorship, businesses that had become used to the corporatism and interventionism of Franco's regime and the legalisation of unions which sometimes took a confrontational stance in the face of a wage freeze and devaluation of the peseta.

## Previous conversations

Before the Pacts Adolfo Suárez had engaged with Socialist Party leader Felipe González and Communist Party leader Santiago Carrillo. His goal was to establish a more stable government since he lacked a majority in the parliament. For its part, the Opposition, as well as a portion of Suarez's own government, the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), wanted a constituent assembly.

## Negotiations

Enrique Fuentes Quintana at Suárez's behest engaged in talks with the newly legalized unions such as General Union of Workers and Workers' Commissions (CC.OO) in order to reduce industrial conflict. The General Union of Workers (UGT) and the CNT were at first opposed to the proposals for a pact. However the CNT was the only body who wholly rejected it.
The agreements meant that the unions and the left would accept a wage freeze and moderate their demands in return for promises of fiscal, legal and institutional reform such as a property tax and income tax, parliamentary control of the media, measures to put a break on housing speculation, a review of the Military Justice Code and improved social security and free education.

## Results

Inflation did fall and the deficit showed a marked fall but unemployment kept rising and there was no reduction in strikes. In addition there was no oversight of the promises for structural reforms and many were shelved or were cut dramatically. The success of the Pacts was more political than social or economic as the left accepted thereby that their claims in future would be "bound by the constraints of the market economy" and the Government had the legitimacy and consensus to move forward with drafting the Constitution.
# Fitzroy Falls, New South Wales

Fitzroy Falls (postcode: 2577) is a village in the Wingecarribee Shire, located within the Southern Highlands region of New South Wales, Australia. The locality was known as Yarrunga, but was renamed after the 81-metre (266 ft) waterfall.

## Waterfall

The waterfall was known to the indigenous Wodi Wodi people. The first European settler to see it was Charles Throsby, in the early 19th century. Near the head of the Yarrunga Creek in the Morton National Park, the waterfall was named in honour of Sir Charles Fitzroy, the Governor of New South Wales during his visit to the area in 1850.
While a town was planned for the area in the 1860s, little development occurred. With the advent of motor vehicles, Fitzroy Falls became, and still remains, a popular stopping point for tourists travelling towards the Southern Highlands. Substantial parking and catering facilities have been provided, together with pathways and boardwalks that enable able-bodied visitors to view the falls and other natural features.

## Population

At the 2016 census, Fitzroy Falls had a population of 216. According to the 2021 census, there were 220 people living at Fitzroy Falls.

# Pleasant Street Firehouse

The Pleasant Street Firehouse is an historic former firehouse at 408 Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. One of three fire stations built by the city in 1873, it was Worcester's oldest active firehouse when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has since been converted to commercial retail use.

## Description and history

The former Pleasant Street Firehouse stands in a mixed residential-commercial area west of downtown Worcester, at the southwest corner of Pleasant and Winslow Streets. It is a two-story brick building, with a hip roof topped by an open cupola, and a pedimented gable with oriel window atop the center section of the main (north-facing) facade. There are three equipment bays on the ground floor, all of which have been enclosed with wood frame walls clad in shingles. The outer bays each have a door in them, that on the right also with a plate glass window to the right. Two similar glass windows are found in the central bay. Windows in the second floor are topped by eared granite lintels.
The city built this firehouse in 1873-74 on land purchased from Daniel Waldo Lincoln, a prominent local landowner. Its architect is unknown; although the city paid the local firm of Earle and Fuller for design services related to fire stations in 1873, the building is stylistically different from the other firehouses built at the time. It is somewhat curiously retardaire in style, with the cupola and projecting side pavilion more reminiscent of earlier Federal and Greek Revival styles than the then-current Second Empire and Renaissance styles. Since its listing on the National Register in 1980, the city closed and sold the building, and it has been converted to commercial use.
# Marxology

Marxology is a systematic scholarly approach to the understanding of Karl Marx and Marxism. The term was first used by David Ryazanov, librarian of the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow, around 1920 as he set out to publish the complete works of Marx and Engels. During the Second World War, Maximilien Rubel introduced the term into France. He was astonished by the lack of any sustained understanding of the life and works of Marx by self-proclaimed Marxists active in the French resistance during the occupation of Paris.

## Marxology in the Soviet Union

A number of official publications in the Soviet Union praised Ryazanov as a Marxologist in 1930. He was:
* “the most eminent Marxologist of our time”, Izvestia , 10 March 1930
* “the most renowned and the most important of the Marxist scholars of our time” (Inprecor, no.26, 19 March 1930)
* “under Riazonov’s direct scientific and administrative leadership, [the Marx-Engels Institute] accomplished impressive work …with his considerable scientific and investigative activity in the sphere of marxology”, Pravda
However during investigations in preparation for the 1931 Menshevik Trial, Ryazanov was implicated under duress by his colleague Isaak Illich Rubin and expelled from the Communist Party.

## Some Marxologists

In 1982 the following were listed in Review: Tendencies in Marxology and Tendencies in History (1982):
* Michel Henry: Marx: A Philosophy of Human Reality ([1976], English translation with Michel Henry: Marx: A Philosophy of Human Reality, 1983)
* G. A. Cohen: Karl Marx's Theory of History (1978)
* John McMurtry: The Structure of Marx's World-View (1978)
* Melvin Rader: Marx's Interpretation of History (1979)
* Robert Kurz: Geld ohne Wert: Grundrisse zu einer Transformation der Kritik der politischen ekonomie, ISBN 978-3-89502-343-9 and: Marx lesen!: die wichtigsten Texte von Karl Marx für das 21. Jahrhundert ISBN 3821856467
Other important works of Marxology include:
* Roman Rosdolsky: The Making of Marx's Capital (1977)
* Moishe Postone: Time, Labour and Social Domination (1993)
* Maximilien Rubel: Marx, Life and Works (1980)
