My part of the art trade with @kasimova-dariia
Her character Anne with some good bad boys.
Me: Hmm.. who should I draw her with?
My brain: YES.

February 11th - Virtuous Bankers, Anne Murphy
Virtuous Bankers is a work of institutional history, but in a way that is distinct from the way I'd normally use that term - it is not just history viewed through the lenses of institutions, (compare Marc Levinson's The Box, which I would classify as history viewed through the lens of institutional actors) though it is that, but it is primarily a work of history about a specific institution. In this way, anyone hoping to discern immediately what the Bank of England was doing - the Bank of England as an indicator of larger historical trends - may be disappointed, and should instead perhaps turn to the opening sections (at least for the period in question) of David Kynaston's Till Time's Last Sand for this information as it pertains to the time period. Rather, Murphy is writing about what the institution was like, on a truly day to day level. The long arc of history is obscured by the quotidian focus. Of course, this is not a failing, rather the intended focus of the book. But certainly those looking for anything particularly earth-shattering or view-reorienting may be disappointed. Having this book as a basis may, however, allow better understanding of the Bank's function should it come up as an indicator in other sources.
The reader of this book would certainly gain more from it given three things, things that I happen to lack. Firstly, a better comparative overview of public finance and credit in other nations, in particular other European nations, at the time. In Till Time's last Sand, David Kynaston refers to interactions between the Bank of England and the Bank of France regarding the BoE augmenting its low bullion supplies, for instance. But what made English or British finance distinct would be enlightening when it came to examining the precise impacts that day-to-day operations and scope of services may have had on that. Second, a better understanding than mine of the precise nature and operation of financial mechanisms, particular the financial mechanisms of the 18th century, would be extremely beneficial. I have a passing understanding of the nature of bills of exchange but there are certainly sections where if I wanted a stronger understanding I would have to focus harder than I perhaps had been, reread a couple times, or seek out a more focused secondary source - on the functions of bills and banknotes, the process of drawing, the notion of "ready money" and the nature of regular transactions in the period. Thirdly, an understanding of the context that public debt and finance played in Britain's empire would be useful for situating the knowledge from this book in a meaningful framework. A source like HV Bowen's The Business of Empire, cited in the book, would be perhaps useful, among others.
The appendices are excellent and very comprehensive, including all the reports of the first commission and an entire list of the bank's impressive staff roster, as well as their wages. Something striking noted in the book is that the wage of 50 pounds a year had not increased in the century since the foundation of the bank, and was hardly enough to live in London except on a very tight budget. There are many things in this book that one could potentially speculate about in general terms - the involvement of clerks in stock trading and the resulting conflict of interest, or the underdevelopment of security technology at the time, or the difficulty of dealing with large amounts of paper records, but having the actual references for this information is invaluable, and many things - like the particular managerial culture of the bank and similar institutions - is fascinating granular knowledge that we should take care to research rather than our tendency to assume from thin air.
The final interesting factor is the difficulty that I have in immediately connecting this to any kind of theoretical economic approach, either modern or contemporary to the period. Certainly we know from Ricardo that the economic and financial policy of the state was influenced by economic theory, but it's not immediately clear to me what relationship the state had from a theoretical policy standpoint to the act of borrowing and public debt, or how that impacted the bank as attitudes may have shifted. (Again, this might be more of Kynaston's longer-view wheelhouse.) The connection between economic theory and specific infrastructure can wear a bit thin at times - compare again Levinson, mentioned above, on the dependency of the notions of free trade and comparative advantage on the actual physical capacities of international trade - the reference point here being the limitations of clerks and accountants working on paper records to the business of stock trading and the issuing of debt. I'd like to be able, in future, to link this granular analysis of the functioning of the bank to state economic policy and theory, as well as to a broader quote unquote 'materialist' analysis of state and capitalist structure at the time. None of this is obvious from the book, but I don't doubt it could be achieved with a little work.

Riz is talking about Mary-Ann the same way Fabian talks about Chungledown Bim:
Adaine: I don't know, I feel like I could take her. She's like half my height
Riz: no no no no no no
Riz: you have not seen what i have seen

i feel like people who wanted the rat grinders to get redeemed and that are mad that the bad kids solved their problems with violence really didn’t understand it. kipperlily was a freak since freshman year, complaining about how she was too privileged to be cool and how riz was lucky to have a dead dad. her growing anger, her deal with porter and her succumbing to rage had to get solved the way it did. holding hands and talking it out was never going to solve it. if the bad kids tried that they wouldn’t have survived.

Gorgug mimes pulling a bench out of his pocket?! What in the Animal Crossing is going on here.
Why did it register on Fig's Divine Sense? As a follow-up, did she sense strong good or strong evil. I would also like to point out that Murph/Riz repeatedly said "she's got that dog in her" and then Emily/Fig responded to the bench situation with "Gorgug, you fucking dog." The way Zac has to yes-and what has happened but stumbles between "I cleaned it" and "I thought it was a different bench"??? Then Zac Oyama confirms that Gorgug has fucked (presumably with Zelda).
To be completely honest, I wish I didn't know about how the Bad Kids lose their virginities.
I'm so upset that this is canon. I got my heartfelt Fig and Gorgug moment but at what cost.

Detroit: Become Human / Robocop
#Detroit Become Human#Robocop#dbh Connor#dbh Hank#Alex Murphy#Anne Lewis#Elijah Kamski#Crime busting lads of Detroit#In the fic “Metal of Man” the fact that Anderson and Murphy knew each other from his previous precinct was such a fun idea#I got a kick when watching Buckaroo Banzai to see young Weller AND Clancy Brown as world savers in a band so that helped this concept too#BTW if some of you folks haven't seen robocop and are interested before you go and watch the original '87 film be wary it's pretty graphic
