Referring to authors

Introduction

A lecturer will often refer to books, articles and reports by other scholars.

Verbs they could use include:

• say
• argue
• suggest
• describe

Examples

• Indeed Hayek, if you’ll look closely, says that what we’re trying to do is create the opportunity for the unexpected to happen.
• And what de Broglie said is well, if it’s true that light, which has a wavelength can have momentum, then it must also be true that matter, which has momentum, also has a wavelength.
• John Brewer puts it very well when he says "the shopkeeper linked the market town and the local community to a network of markets ... "
• ... and yet, as Mark Kishlansky says, "the constitutional position was that monarchical power was limited by the evolution of its practice."
• Nozick said this is just way too radical.
• Christopher Haigh argues that late medieval Catholic Christianity, to quote him, "was not only secure in early Tudor England but also luxuriant and energetic."
• As a result, Marsh suggests they "held their peace," and as you know he uses that term in a double sense.
• So what John Martin argued was that there was lots of nitrogen and phosphorus in these regions but there’s not enough iron for the phytoplanktons to actually utilize that.
• And the key to why that was so is perhaps to be found in what the historian of the Spanish Inquisition, Henry Kamen, has described as a peculiarly horrible conjunction in European history.

Transcript

The boundary between a social movement and an interest group, though - and Burstein talks about this - is a little blurrier, right? Lowi, whom we read earlier, has this italicized phrase, which is sort of interesting: All established interest groups are conservative. And he means conservative not in the sense of left/right, in the sense of less government/more government, but in the old-fashioned sense of less change/more change.
