"Biography of Carter H. Harrison IV
Carter Henry Harrison IV ("Harrison"), like his father, Carter Henry Harrison III, was a five term Democratic mayor of Chicago. Harrison served his first four terms around the turn of the twentieth century (1897-1905), with his final term running from 1911 until 1915.

thread_title:  Possible Edits to the Article  

message: From reading your proposed edits, I feel that your included sources and newfound emphasis on her contributions to the Revolution and her influence on policy on post-Batista Cuba. The article undeniably suffers from its focus on the broader Revolution and her ties to Castro rather than Sánchez herself. I might recommend pulling from the Spanish language article on her, as it's far more detailed than the English counterpart in several places, though considering I'm not familiar with how well-versed you are in Spanish, this might be an unfair suggestion for me to make. My only real gripe is with the early life section mentioning her neurosis twice. The content you added is very good but it could benefit from more concise language.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvanhoutengudger21 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Novel 

message: Laski was not an economist, and in fact the lack of competent economic analysis in his work is seen as a major failing of his. It is said in Michael Newman's 'Harold Laski: A Political Biography' that his magnum opus, a Grammar of Politics, had the failing of prioritising moral questions over economic ones, with a consequent lack of competent analysis. This should be corrected - his field was political science, not economics.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfehenson (talk • contribs) 12:51, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alleged Economist.  

message: The statement in the introduction he had few original ideas and is no longer widely read is biased and (partly) wrong. What Wolfehenson pointed out, above, that he prioritized ethics over economics, could be a virtue (pun intended ;-) rather than a failing from another perspective. Some would even argue that the classical liberal icon and moral philosopher Adam Smith shared this opinion. Only some 20th century economists did not - and consequently have run into deep trouble.--Olag (talk) 09:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: It's mentioned in "the Guardsmen" which came out about ten years ago. Castration after puberty often does not remove what are known as "secondary characteristics" (broken voice, facial hair).

text:  I don't have a pdf of the original prospectus, but I did check the facsimile that appears in Bank of England: selected tracts 1694-1804: A collection of seven rare works republished from originals in the Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature, and the version I linked on Google Books is a full and accurate transcription, as far as I can tell.  The alleged quote is notable mainly for the prominent usage by Ezra Pound. It does continue to be repeated occasionally by modern money conspiracy theorists. Also, I don't believe that the quote is accurate, because in the 1690s the Bank of England didn't create money out of nothing in the sense that a modern central bank can. Although it indirectly would, in the money-multiplier sense, that wouldn't really benefit the shareholders. - KHirsch (talk) 19:42, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
