Quotes by Robert C. Allen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It was assumed that genre films could not have any artistic merit, because they were not original works and because they were not authored works. These standards of evaluation are based upon a romantic theory of art that places the highest value on the concepts of originality, person creativity, and the idea of the individual artist as genius.”
Robert C. Allen, Channels of Discourse, Reassembled: Television and Contemporary Criticism, 2nd Edition

“The Western countries have experienced a development trajectory in which higher wages led to the invention of labour-saving technology, whose use drove up labour productivity and wages with it.”
Robert C. Allen, Global Economic History: A Very Short Introduction

“These developments were not due to a conspiracy among the rich nor simply to colonialism (although it played a role). They were the result of one of the fundamental principles of economics – comparative advantage.”
Robert C. Allen, Global Economic History: A Very Short Introduction
