Notes

Note N78Research Notes: Robert A. Brady (economist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search

Robert A. Brady (1901-1963), an American economist who analyzed the dynamics of technological change and the structure of business enterprise . Brady developed a potent analysis of fascism and other emerging authoritarian economic and cultural practices.[1] His essential work is "about power and the organization of power around the logic of technology as operated under capitalism "[2] , yielding insights and understanding of modern society's careening path between enhancing or destroying "life and culture". In The Sprit and Structure of German Fascism (1937) and Business as a System of Power (1943), important works in historical and comparative economics, Brady traced the rise of

bureaucratic centralism in Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United States; and the emergence of an authoritarian model of economic growth and development. Brady worked his way into and through college, doing undergraduate studies in history, philosophy, and mathematics at Reed College , where he graduated in 1923. He became an Instructor in European History upon his graduation. He began his graduate work at Cornell and went on to Columbia , where he completed his Ph.D. in 1929. He had been exposed to Veblen's thought all along the way, most systematically at Columbia, where he worked closely with John Maurice Clark . Brady took Veblen's work as the point of departure for his own professional work. During his years of graduate study, he taught at Cornell, Hunter College , Cooper Union , and New York University . In 1929, Brady joined the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley .[3] Brady served as Chief of the Standards Division, Consumers Advisory Board, National Recovery Administration and on the staff of the National Resources Planning Board during the New Deal . He was one of the founders of Consumers Union , its vice president during its formative

period, and head of Western Consumers Union. [4] [edit ] Works ·

1901-1963

Professor Emeritus

Robert A. Brady, Professor Emeritus of Economics, died in New York on April 27, 1963. During his thirty years as a member of the Department of Economics on the Berkeley campus, he was always a vital innovative force, both within the University and throughout the social sciences generally. He brought to his teaching and his research an unusual combination of rigor in scholarship and interest in and knowledge of the important issues of our industrial society. Almost invariably he was in the forefront in sensing the growing importance of emerging economic and social problems. Consequently his own writings and teaching had a unique quality of originality and significance.

Professor Brady's primary interests as an undergraduate student at Reed College were in history, philosophy, and mathematics. Following his graduation in 1923, he was appointed Instructor in European History. He subsequently decided to undertake graduate work in economics, a field in which he had not previously studied formally, and went first to Cornell University and later to Columbia University where he received the Ph.D. degree in 1929. During his years of graduate study, he taught at Cornell, Hunter College, Cooper Union Institute of Technology, and New York University.

Professor Brady came to the Berkeley campus in 1929 where he remained until his retirement thirty years later because of failing health. In his early years here, he taught various courses ranging from beginning principles and statistics at the sophomore level to graduate seminars in economic theory. Gradually, however, his teaching focused largely on the history of economic thought and economic planning, fields which provided ample opportunity to pursue his interest in the social sciences generally. Successive generations of students in economics, history, and philosophy remember his breadth of knowledge, his keen sense of historical perspective, and his understanding of human relationships. So too they remember the rigorous standards of scholarship he imposed upon himself and expected from those who worked with him. Little sympathy was accorded the student who used a textbook to avoid reading the economic classics in the original or who submitted a report based on secondary sources of information.

Publication of The Rationalization Movement in German Industry in 1933 brought Professor Brady to the forefront as a student of the evolution of economic planning. In reviewing the book for the University of California Press, Professor A. B. Wolfe wrote: “Perhaps I am too enthusiastic, but I miss my guess if this book does not at once make Professor Brady somewhat of a national, even an international personage among economists, engineers, business men, and government planners.”

Time proved that Professor Wolfe's enthusiasm was well placed. But this was only the beginning of a series of studies centering on what has become one of the crucial problems of our industrial society. There followed The Spirit and Structure of German Fascism (1937); Business As a System of Power (1943); Crisis in Britain: Plans and Achievements of the Labour Government (1950); Organization, Automation, and Society: The Scientific Revolution in Industry (1961); as well as numerous monographs and articles in professional journals.

In a review of the last book cited, Professor Walter Adams wrote: “Thirty years ago, Professor Brady described the rationalization movement in German industry as a search for 'ways and means of systematically introducing standardization, utilizing the fruits of cooperative research, promoting scientific management, and coordinating and integrating activities of entire industries'....

“Today, Brady is still fascinated by the character and implications of the scientific-technological revolution....In Organization, Automation, and Society, Brady attempts to comprehend this revolution and to address himself to what he regards as the dominant question of our time, viz., whether production can genuinely be 'scientifically organized.' It is the best study of automation yet to be made. It is the scholarly, sensitive, and insightful product of a brilliant and imaginative intellect.” (American Economic Review, December, 1962, pp. 1179-80).

Professor Brady planned to follow Organization, Automation, and Society with two further studies: the first to be concerned with “bureaucracy, considered as the 'problem of flexible organization' as it might be designed to manage the type of emerging industrial order outlined here;” the second to explore “the types of policy which might (1) make more rational use of the new industrial apparatus, while (2) surmounting the dangers of bureaucratic arteriosclerosis, and (3) yet be most consistent with both democratic institutions and the values of individual personality.” (Organization, Automation, and Society, p. 428 n.)

Unfortunately, a series of strokes prevented completion of the planned trilogy before his death.

Coupled with distinction in teaching and research was a long record of public service. This included Chief of the Standards Division, Consumers Advisory Board, NRA; staff member, National Resources Planning Board; one of the founders of Consumers Union, its vice president during the formative period, and head of Western Consumers Union.

Professor Brady's untimely death has left great gaps in incomplete research and publication and in unfilled public and professional service. But the greatest loss is that of the students who might have come to know him and respond to his extraordinary stimulus and friendly guidance as a teacher. For three decades, students gathered around him after each lecture to continue the discussion in the halls, in the office, in the study, and frequently in his home. His students spontaneously bestowed on him the highest accolade of the University community--recognition as a truly great teacher.
