For an academic journal, it doesn't feel very scholarly to presume the audience is American and that American Koreantowns are the only Koreatowns. Obviously its clarified in the article, but the title is borderline click-baity.

- barry-cotter 4y agoDefinitely don’t read the leading Sociology, Economics or Political Science journals then. That’s completely standard.
- ggm 4y agoThe thing with the "dismal science" part of economics is that it was at least in part, just maths. Maybe you don't like the conclusions, but if we put the various "monkey or student given a jar of peanuts what happens" papers on motivational economics (my term) to one side -its maths. Sociology and Political Science feel a lot more like opinions than science. And, I say that as a computer scientist who is pretty sure computer science isn't a science, its an art. Like maths.
- Konohamaru 4y ago"Dismal science" is half-correct: the dismal part.
- barry-cotter 4y agoEconomics is known as the dismal science because it supports the dismal conclusion that people are basically the same. People want similar things and should similarly be treated with dignity. > Everyone knows that economics is the dismal science. And almost everyone knows that it was given this description by Thomas Carlyle, who was inspired to coin the phrase by T. R. Malthus’s gloomy prediction that population would always grow faster than food, dooming mankind to unending poverty and hardship. > While this story is well-known, it is also wrong, so wrong that it is hard to imagine a story that is farther from the truth. At the most trivial level, Carlyle’s target was not Malthus, but economists such as John Stuart Mill, who argued that it was institutions, not race, that explained why some nations were rich and others poor. Carlyle attacked Mill, not for supporting Malthus’s predictions about the dire consequences of population growth, but for supporting the emancipation of slaves. It was this fact–that economics assumed that people were basically all the same, and thus all entitled to liberty–that led Carlyle to label economics “the dismal science.” https://www.econlib.org/archives/2015/07/the_origins_of_1.html https://www.econlib.org/archives/2015/07/the_origins_of_1.ht...
- Konohamaru 4y agoOuch. Thanks for informing me the person who coined that phrase was an asshole.
- bigbillheck 4y ago"JSTOR Daily" isn't an academic journal, it's the same kind of thing as, say, Quanta (I'm old and out of touch and don't know what they're called). Turns out if you click through to the actual article in the actual journal: https://www.jstor.org/stable/26499159?mag=the-first-koreatown&seq=1 https://www.jstor.org/stable/26499159?mag=the-first-koreatow... you'll see that the original title is "Pachappa Camp: The First Koreatown in the United States".
