Costume at Castle Howard

15 miles from York lies Castle Howard, the first architectural creation of Sir John Vanbrugh. Commissioned by Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle, this dramatic palace has been open to the public ever since it was built some 250 years ago.\nMany thousands of visitors each year enjoy the House, which the family still occupies, with its vast grounds, formal gardens, fountains, lakes, domed Temple of the Four Winds and, Hawksmoor's work of genius, the Mausoleum.\nIn 1782 John Carr of York built the Stable Court, which now houses the famous Costume Galleries founded in 1965 by George Howard, the present owner of Castle Howard. They contain the largest private collection of 18th to 20th century costume in Britain, a selection being displayed in life-like setting of their period whose atmosphere is re-created by use of the appropriate furniture and domestic equipment.\nEach year the displays are changed to show different costumes from the many thousands here conserved. This book pictures a cross-section of the vast range in a unique collection.

This book is the first volume in a three-volume series that takes an in-depth look at the relevance of Marx's economics for understanding the modern economy. The focus of this volume is the money prices of commodities. In light of the failure of central banks to stimulate inflation through printing of money, it is now accepted that there are problems with the mainstream approach to the explanation of prices. Howard Nicholas underlines the shortcomings of this and other approaches to the explanation of prices, particularly their concepts of the value of the commodity and money. He argues the problems with all other approaches are manifest in their inability to explain the changes in the relative prices of commodities, taking place in the context of changes in the aggregate money price level as well as independently. He contends that of paramount importance in Marx's explanation is that prices are set by producers prior to putting their commodities into the process of circulation, undermining the notion they are determined by the supply of and demand for the commodities in the process of exchange. Marx's approach to the explanation of prices is also contrasted with those of Neoclassicals, Post-Keynesians and Sraffa, with a view to highlighting the shortcomings in these approaches as bases for their understanding and explanations of money and prices. This book will be of interest to academics and students of price theory, money and finance, political economy, and the history of economic thought.
