“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the
most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops
the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies;
from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and
debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing
the many under the domination of the few.
--James Madison

心，直播广播讲话。

On England’s pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

Among these dark Satanic Mills?

一战前后的美国
• 所有战争的必然结果就是在后方(home front)都有对人民自由(civil
liberty)的践踏
• 对“敌方”和“少数”族裔的歧视：hamburger变身liberty sandwich
• 言论自由的收窄：
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in Schenck v. United States (1919):
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely
shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. [...] The question in every case is
whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a
nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the
substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
一战前后的美国
• 一战之后通过了宪法第十九修正
案(1920)给予妇女普选权
Text:
The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation。
• Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony
• 简单回顾美国普选的历史，妇女平
权法案
一战前后的美国
• 一战开始了联邦政府膨胀和收入结构的巨大改变
• Ratchet theory
• 个人所得税 1913
• IRS (1918) 的建立。联邦政府在二十世纪收入结构的巨大变化
• 美国1920年代的经济发展
• 和英国一样实行laissez-faire的经济政策
• 和英国没有“新的经济增长点”不同，美国蓬勃发展。The Roaring
twenties. 工业电气化，汽车，铁路公路，public utility。
• 美国1920年代的繁荣是不是发战争财？我认为不是的。
美国联邦政府收入构成历史变化
