Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Pioneer DEH-X6600BS by Ken Nail Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Siri Eyes Free Got an iPhone® with Siri? Pioneer's DEH-X6600BS CD receiver supports Siri Eyes Free, which means you can ask Siri to make calls, select and play music, compose and hear text messages, read notifications, even use maps and get directions — all commanded by your voice through your stereo. It's not only convenient, it can make your drive safer and more productive, too. SiriusXM for outstanding variety The entertainment variety of satellite radio makes it indispensable to truckers, RV owners, and other road warriors. With this Pioneer, you can add an optional tuner to access SiriusXM's impressive lineup with your receiver's controls. With your SiriusXM subscription, you'll enjoy hundreds of channels, covering the gamut of music, news, talk, sports, comedy, and much more. Built-in Bluetooth® This versatile Pioneer allows you to answer a phone call with the push of a button. You'll talk as if your caller is sitting next to you, freeing up your hands and letting you concentrate on the drive. The DEH-X6600BS supports Bluetooth audio streaming too, so you can stream music wirelessly from compatible devices to the receiver, plus control basic functions like "track up" or "track down." Plenty of media options The front-panel USB input allows you to connect your iPod® or iPhone®, then access your playlists with the Pioneer's controls. When your iPhone's connected, you'll also enjoy control over your favorite Pandora® stations from the receiver. You can use the USB input to tap into the music files stored on many Android devices, and the front aux input handles just about any other audio source. You customize the display and control colors of the DEH-X6600BS Turn on the color The DEH-X6600BS CD receiver spans the color spectrum with a multi-color, dual-zone display that lets you choose from thousands of colors for the display and controls — you can even choose different colors for each. MIXTRAX adds to the fun by adding transitions between songs along with a light show that pulses and changes color with the beat of the music. It's like having your own DJ riding shotgun. Tailor the sound Pioneer's potent MOSFET amplifier delivers plenty of power, while the 5-band EQ lets you tweak the sound as much as you want. Two pairs of preamp outputs make it easier to add external amplifiers or a powered sub. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

However, you can easily add this SiriusXM tuner to an existing Sirius or XM account for a Multi-Radio Discount Plan. Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The Pioneer in-dash head unit utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The DEH-X6600BS is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power specifications for the DEH-X6600BS are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels Note: The rear speaker outputs can be set to provide full range output with full fading capability, or they can be set to provide non-fading subwoofer (low-pass) output. When set for subwoofer operation, you can connect the rear speaker leads directly to two small 4-ohm passive subwoofers or a dual voice coil sub with 4-ohm voice coils. If you prefer to use a single 2-ohm subwoofer, you can connect the woofer to one set of speaker leads, leaving the other set of rear leads disconnected. The maximum output provided when a 2-ohm load is connected to one set of leads is 70 watts. 6ch/2V Preamp Outputs: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BS features three pair of 2.0-volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The unit's front and rear preamp output can be faded (front/rear), while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. Crossovers: The DEH-X6600BS employs high pass and low pass crossovers to tailor the head unit to your connected speakers. HPF: When you don't want low-frequency sound to be heard through your front or rear speakers, you can simply active the head unit's HPF (high pass filter). By activating the HPF, only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are output from the front or rear speakers. The high pass filter crossover can be set to 50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 125Hz, 160hz, 200Hz or Off. The slope level of the HPF can also be adjusted to -6dB or 12dB. LPF: The subwoofer preamp output features a variable low pass filter (50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 125 Hz) and selectable filter slope (-6/-12dB); so only frequencies lower than those in the selected range are output from you connected subwoofer. Subwoofer Controls: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BS lets you adjust the subwoofer preamp output's phase (normal/reverse) and volume (+6 to -24). Equalizer: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BS features a Preset & Custom EQ. The built-in equalizer offers 7 preset sound modes (Powerful, Dynamic, Vocal, Natural, Custom 1, Custom 2, and Flat) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The two Custom modes allow you to manually adjust the head unit's 5-band EQ (80Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz, 2.5kHz, 8kHz) from +/-6dB. Custom 1 can be set separately for each source (except for USB/iPod/Pandora); while Custom 2 and the other 5 presets are shared settings used for all sources. Advanced Sound Retriever: The Advanced Sound Retriever automatically enhances compressed audio and restores the original richness of the recording. Hear the detail, warmth, and clarity, the way the artist intended it, from all of your highly compressed MP3 and WMA files stored on your USB device, iPod/iPhone, and portable media players. By restoring data (especially higher frequencies) that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology enhances audio reproduction nearly all the way up to 20 kHz frequencies. Audio Level Settings: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BS CD receiver offers a variety of audio settings to tailor the bass, treble, and volume level to your preference. Bass Boost The DEH-X6600BS features a bass boost function which can be used to enhance low-frequency bass sound. The bass boost function can be set between 0-6. Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for deficiencies in the low and high sound ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness feature to Low, Mid, High, or Off. Source Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from -4dB to +4dB. MIXTRAX: Drawing from Pioneer's rich DJ heritage and passion for music, MIXTRAX delivers a unique DJ infused listening experience to listeners in the car. MIXTRAX is an innovative Pioneer technology that creates a non-stop mix of your music library complete with a range of DJ-inspired effects. MIXTRAX takes your typical music listening experience and creates a non-stop mix of your music with 9 random DJ effects and transitions, by removing the breaks and pauses normally introduced between tracks and replacing them with various beats. MIXTRAX is compatible with USB-connected iPhone, iPod, USB MSC device, and select Android devices. There is also a Short Playback option which limits the amount of time each track plays; select from 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 minutes. Note: The MIXTRAX function does not work in App mode or with the Pandora App for iPod/iPhone/iPad. It is also not supported by USB MTP devices. Display Features Detachable Face Security: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BS in-dash CD receiver features detachable face security. No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. Color Customization: Color Customization lets the user match their receiver illumination to their vehicle's interior lighting. Over 210,000 colors are available to match the illumination of almost any car. The button illumination and display illumination colors can be customized separately for an endless number of color combinations. You can select from 5 preset colors (White/Red/Amber/Green/Blue), customize an illumination color (by adjusting Red/Blue/Green brightness levels), or scan through a variety of colors. MIXTRAX Illumination: MIXTRAX features a club-style illumination that enhances the mood with a dynamic dance club-like lighting effect. As MIXTRAX begins, lights start pulsing to the beat of the music, adding an extra level of entertainment. You can choose among twelve patterns of lighting variations from sound pressure level or low-pass synchronization modes. The lighting effects work like a spectrum analyzer, reaching peak colors based on the intensity of the music. You can also choose which area's of the head unit's face illuminates; select Display, Display/Buttons, or Off. Display Illumination/Clock Display: When the Clock Display has been turned on, pressing and holding the "SRC" button turns off audio output, but the clock display and button illumination remains on (you can press the "DISP" button to turn off). When the Clock Display has been turned off, pressing and holding the "SRC" button turns the unit off completely. Even if you have turned the radio completely off you can view the clock display by pressing the "DISP" button. The clock will then remain On until you turn it back Off. When the unit is On, you can select between the clock display or the audio track/tuner display. Demo Mode: This unit features a Demo mode which can be turned On/Off within the menu. Remote Control Wireless Remote Control: The DEH-X6600BS comes with an IR wireless remote control. The remote allows you to control the volume, switch between sources, pause the CD, change the display, and adjust the audio. You can also mute the volume (function that cannot be performed from the front panel). In addition, you can answer/end calls from a Bluetooth connected smartphone. Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

I purchased this reciever to replace a precious Pioneer reciever that I had from a year and a half ago. Unlike my older reciever, this one added the ability to have Xm radio. I really like how easy it is to use and the XM antennae I purchased was easy to install. My 03 VW Golf now has me singing all the way to work in the morning.

I have been using the system fro two weeks,so it's hard for me to properly evaluate the receiver. Nevertheless, this is the first Pioneer that I have with a below average FM reception. With respect to the ease of use, it takes a while to get used to the inter-phase. Thank goodness the receiver has remote control which makes easier to adjust the settings.

Got this HU to replace the stock one in my 2005 Forrester. Instruction master sheet from Crutchfield was dead on, popped out the old one and got this one in in under 2 hours. Now that there's "oomph" behind my music I need to think about new speakers! Pros: Great fit and look. Bluetooth for the phone. Nice clean sound. Multiple input possibilities.

I've had another version DEH-6600BT installed in my 03 Accord before, so I decided to go with the 6600BS version for my 09 Ford Flex. Being that I have an android this is very useful having the Bluetooth feature, which is a plus knowing that its illegal in Hawaii to use your phone that is not hands free. I still have stock speakers that came with the Flex, the Sony 9 speaker system. It was difficult to tuning up with the stock head unit, so I had to upgrade knowing that sound quality that was produced from 03 Accord. With this particular head unit which I enjoy so much, I am able to control frequencies to custom with the stock speakers. I have a Pioneer amplifier paired up with a 15in JBL GTO1514D, the subwoofer controls help in fine tuning my subwoofer. When all was done tuning, I got way better sound quality overall. The only thing that needs an upgrade is my speakers and I'll be complete. Other than that without this DEH-6600BS I could never pull out the right notes in my Ford Flex. Pros: being able to control so many different features from the color, sound tuning, Bluetooth capable, music from my android, and many more Cons: it takes a while to get use to the controls, but it gets natural after a while, just don't attempt to do it while driving, lol Was this review helpful?

Great reciever for the money and has a lot of options that are very easy to set and change on the fly. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade from a stock radio. I installed this in my Toyota Echo daily driver, try not to laugh, and it makes the commute so much more enjoyable. Pros: Good EQ Options Good Lighting Options (Brightness, Color) Easy Setup and use Cons: None that I can think of for the price 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Spurt45, Wichita, Ks. on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had a super Tuner when they first came out, my 1973 Olds Delta 88, I loved it. After High school went into car stereo installation for a college job. Needed to upgrade my work car's stereo so got some estimates from some local shops. Same tuner and satellite tuner. the bid was for about $800 installed. Looked into doing it myself and had done business with Crutchfield before and was very satisfied. Found them online and the Tech support was fantastic in telling me what I would need for my car. A couple days later the equipment came and I beyond satisfied. the install was just as explained. The install kits fit perfect. It looks professional and has great features. I will be hooking the original factory sub up next and getting an amp to boost the output. Then it will be the perfect system. All for a couple hours work and less than $200. Thanks Crutchfield !!!! Pros: Great Features and easy operation. Cons: Could use a little more power for a big car and for the sound that I want. (Easily fixed) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The radio sounds fantastic. Even with the cars original speakers the sound is leaps and bounds above the OEM radio. The SiriusXM 200V1 turner will not work with this radio. After having a second tuner sent at no charge to replace the first one,you cannot tune the radio off of the "menu" channel 1 station. The radio sees the tuner and will activate the subscription you buy,buy will not tune to any station. No one knows why this is. Or who has the problem,Sirius or Pioneer. Until this problem is worked out,if you want the Sirius function using this radio,do not buy it. Pros: Outstanding sound Cons: SiriusXM will not function properly on this radio at this time. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

First time Pioneer user, must say I'm impressed. Was very easy to install. I love that you can connect you smartphone via Bluetooth to listen to Pandora and take hands free calls. Make sure you get the mic where you want it so people on the other end can hear you.

Written By JohnM, Treasure Coast Florida on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this for the bluetooth so I could play my iphone wirelessly. I was surprised by the great sound, though. Pros: Since I was replacing a previous bought Crutchfield radio with the same adapter, the installation was fast. Cons: This radio does not have a rear bolt (nor a place for one) to attach the back support that mounts to the slider rail in the 2005 Ranger. I had to use a couple of Jenga blocks to prop up the back of the radio. Odd that the instructions tell you to use the adapter, but its quite out of the question. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The audio sucks on it. Cant fine tune my system. No low, mid and treble ajustments. Verry disappointed in the audio in this unit. I have ran pioneer units my hole life. I feel they make a good product. there units are well made u can tell the difference just from using it the buttons knobs the way it takes and eject cds. Much nicer than other products I have used. Everything smooth. But idk what they were thinking with the audio choices in this unit and ones like them. Maybe they should take a few tips from Jl Audio if its not broke dont fix it. Last year jl finely changed some things with there subs and amps they were on a 7 to 8 year run befor that with out any changes. Why chage it if it works.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Should have done this sooner Written By lukestar, Framingham, MA on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had my Mazda 5 for years and was always a little disappointed by the features the stock stereo lacked. Most of my driving is local so I could get by with the radio and cds. The Boston radio market used to provide ample options for good music, but recent station closures and consolidations have left the market lacking. I thought about adding Sirius, but the stock system didn't even have aux in. I'm not a fan of radio frequency connections. I decided to bite the bullet and get an after market stereo. This one had most of what I was looking for (MP3CD support, USB and Aux in) plus a few extras (Bluetooth). I feel that I am pretty handy and decided to try the install myself. The information from Crutchfield made the install go very smoothly. Two things to be aware of. Save the plastic clips from the stock panel. You will need them for for the reinstall. Get wire crimps to attach wires to harness. Way easier than the solder and tape method. The radio itself is pretty cool. I wish the buttons were bigger. They're a little tricky to push with a gloved hand. The settings menu is not self explanatory. I needed to keep the manual handy for the first couple of weeks to get all the settings they way I wanted them. I became a much bigger fan of this radio once I had things set to my liking. Now I am enjoying my music on USB and MP3 Cds. My son loves the light show display. I have not explored

OK, so there is confusion about the order of inheritance. The British crown (regnal title) inherits in strict male primogeniture. However, other systems of patriarchal inheritance use a system of cascading "eldest male heir". If a man has three sons, his eldest inherits first, when the eldest dies, his next eldest son inherits, and so on. The rules get more complicated after the last of his sons dies... it might pass to the eldest son of the most recent heir or it might go back to the eldest male descendant of the original patriarch. It all depends on the house law. The unifying principle here is that the wealth remains concentrated and that it is an individual male heir who is solely charged with directing it (patriarchy). The point of choosing the eldest is that he is presumably the most experienced and mature and, thus, most likely to take seriously his task of maintaining the household not only in this generation but for those to come.
Anyway.... *sigh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDOTOrW8Z0o this person discribes a different practice from the one you are discribing. this guy discribes it going to the first son of the first son even if there is a second son of the father of the first son.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_family says professional money managers and trust commities are used rather than a single person.
Much of the wealth has been locked up in the notable family trust of 1934 (which holds the bulk of the fortune and matures on the death of the fourth generation), and the trust of 1952, both administered by the Chase Manhattan Bank. These trusts have consisted of shares in the successor companies to Standard Oil and other diversified investments, as well as the family's considerable real estate holdings. They are administered by a powerful trust committee that oversees the fortune. It has consisted over time of high-profile individuals, who have included Paul Volcker, William G. Bowen (former president of Princeton University) and John C. Whitehead (retired co-chairman of Goldman Sachs).[citation needed]
Management of this fortune today also rests with professional money managers who oversee the principal holding company, Rockefeller Financial Services, which controls all the family's investments, now that Rockefeller Center is no longer owned by the family. The present chairman is David Rockefeller, Jr.
It gets really weird when entailed property is in the hands of a person who dies without issue as established by the entail...then it goes back up the family tree to the next available qualifying member, see Pride and Prejudice for an example. Such things were established by an initial grant with male or female issue specified, etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDOTOrW8Z0o this video discribes a different system of primogeniture.
Before the advent of modern medicine, producing issue was a serious matter with no guarantees. A wife was costly and the purpose of acquiring a wife was to produce issue. If a man died without producing issue with his wife, then it made sense for one of his brothers to produce issue with her. Lest you recoil in horror at the brutality of such a system, she would have known from the outset that this was the arrangement. Who knows, maybe the first guy turned out to be a total a-hole and she offed him just in order to be handed off to one of his brothers.
But I'm not espousing ancient Judaic culture (to whatever extent we even actually know what it was). Here is an article discussion various orders of succession (this is a particularly fascinating form!). It's difficult to say "this one is the best" and I don't think you need to - the basic principle of patriarchy and wealth consolidation runs through all the dominant systems of succession.
I think an argument can be made that male primogeniture is the most dominant system. Time will tell. The reason for caring is not to "shape society" or to pass laws "making" people use this or that form of succession but, rather, it is a matter of the science of satisfaction - how should a family best order its household so as to best assure its present and long-term happiness? I think the answer lies in some form or other of patriarchal, non-proportional inheritance in combination with the patriarch having responsibility for the moral leadership and "social security" of the family (which is why I think that the systems that nominate the "eldest male kin" probably make the most sense).
I think such systems can create untenable problems down the line for an inheritor. It's all very well to inherit property if you're inheriting the wealth needed to support it, and if you have some way to provide for your other offspring. Too often neither is the case.
one ishue with patriarchy is that i think it rejects the participation of women in the free market. men will win in the market if women are not even giving a change to participate in it or given such disadvantage. i see male dominance in a free market as something that would be social policy rather than natural. there are some jobs males are better at and some females are better at, but i'm not sure taking care of wealth is a job males have a natural advantage in. maybe it would come out as dominate, but i think a free market would give females more of a chance to optain the role of head of household with the females being fully capable of growing the wealth of a family.
if a male patriach can aquire wealth cheaper than a female, sure it might be rational to have the patriarch do the business, but i think that is a result of culture and nurture rather than nature. it's a cultureal rejection of females in business, and another society or group that makes it a even trade or gives the female a better deal would have different results. i don't think the subjective valuation of females as lower than males is a neccessity or that it has a competitive advantage over a system based more on merit.
science of satishfaction wise, a free market with different types of families would be a good test.
can create untenable problems down the line for an inheritor
But the same is true for, say, running a business. In fact, I would argue that the concept of a heritable patriarchal title is little else than viewing a family as a "business" in its own right. I think that this is the most fundamental business of all and I think this explains why all the most powerful and wealthy people in the world utilize some form or other of this system. The human being is the most valuable capital asset of all and managing the production of this asset (family) is the most complex and valuable task of all. In my approach to Power Elite analysis, the permanent Establishment is nothing else other than the blood and marriage network of those families who are wealthy and powerful and who understand that family is what it's all about.
The difference for an inheritor of this kind of contract is they have no legal means of changing the terms they were born into. It's not at all like running a business.
@cab21: I don't know what you're responding to but it isn't anything I've said.
Note that I'm not talking about "society" or whether men or women should be "dominant" or not in "society" or "business". I'm talking about households and families, which are voluntary and which have plenary power to discharge their own affairs as they see fit, irrespective of whether you or I like the aesthetics of the "outcome".
If we rewind back to, say, 10kya, men wooed women in one of two basic ways - genetic excellence (beauty, alpha-maleness, etc.) or by provisions ("bringing home the bacon"). The fundamental temptation of the female is to "cheat" the system and try to get the best of both worlds - the genes of a genetically excellent male (who probably won't stick around because there are always new sexual conquests to be had for such men) and the provisions of a dutiful provider. Hence, cuckoldry. This problem is so fundamental, so central to human society and reproduction that our very anatomy and biology has been adapted to cope with it*.
This struggle still goes on today. Genetically speaking, tax parasites of any form are nothing other than cuckolders. The children of net tax beneficiaries are raised at the expense of the children of net tax contributors. So, this struggle is very much alive today.
The forces of genetic privilege are inherently communal. In fact, communal family is the cause of alpha-male mating - in order to select the best genes, only one male can be permitted to mate with all the females and this male must be selected by eliminative competition. The power of moder social structures is that they have permitted the privatization of the costs of child-rearing onto the particular father of those children. But along with this privatization has come a "tightening" of the scope for cuckoldry and genetic parasitism. The State is, in my view, the vestiges of this ancient, alpha-male, communal reproductive system but it continues its existence by cleverer means... rather than sneaking into a woman's tent while her husband is out hunting, the cuckolder demands "taxes" and buys more wives and raises more children with these (or passes the wealth onto his genetic relatives, clan members, or other favorites who do the same). The net effect is the same either way.
The system of succession is a means of rationalizing the inter-generational production of offspring so that a family line may control to some degree its own destiny. The first male to cultivate a patriarchal line is seeking to maximize the reproductive potential (not just children, also grand-children, etc) of his wealth by ordering his affairs in such a way as to preserve the family wealth over many generations and keep it from being squandered on the hedonistic pursuits that it would inevitably be put to if the entire wealth were divided among the extant family.
Those who are in power and employ the social technology of ordered inheritance want to suppress its use by others because this is part and parcel of the logic of the genetic parasite - the greatest enemy of this genetic parasitism is rational, inter-generational family structure because it tends to make the system of reproduction "airtight" - only genetic relatives of family are beneficiaries of the family's wealth. Mooches, taxmen, cuckolders and parasites of any type need not apply.
By dividing the inheritance proportionally, this process is kept very weak if it even exists at all and renders the general populace largely defenseless against the will of the organized interests of the permanent Establishment who will continue to exploit the masses. Perhaps the most tragic manifestation of this is the "artificial selection" (i.e. eugenics) that is being practiced by the Elites to select and promote the most docile and suppress the most rambunctious. The long-run social effects of this process are incalculable but are likely to be tragic in my view.
*Read about the origins of concealed fertility in human females
I'm a third-generation Italian American. My grandmother told me some family history long ago. Somewhere along the way, back in the seventeenth century I think, the elder brother inherited the property in the Marche and my ancestor had to go away to Sicily to establish himself. I don't think the elder brother had either the means or the inclination to find employment for him, and regardless, unless something drastic happened my ancestor would never have been able to pass on any of the benefit to his own children. A few generations later, my family were painting carts in Catania and the properties in the Marche were going to seed, having been quite hedonistically squandered as far as I've been able to tell. There's almost nothing left today, just relics. I think the remaining structures/grounds reverted to the state or something. Nobody left with the money to support them.
If the father of those two children had had the opportunity to choose how his property and fortune were divided, I think he might have made different decisions. The fortune may still not have survived-but at least he wouldn't have had his hands tied.
my response was to why patriarchy would be dominate in a free market society.
so how ought ayn rand( or any women with property earned or homesteaded) to have given her wealth?
under this patriarchy system, ought she to marry, give her wealth to a husband, and accept a allowence?
i dont think women need taxes or patriarchy to raise a family if allowed a free market.
If the father of those two children had had the opportunity to choose
Yeah, I think the system needs to be based on voluntary choice, of course. But I think a system that tends to favor the older (hopefully, wiser) men in the family is more likely to be durable over the long-run.
Jargon:Those that rule understand the power of the myth. This is well exemplified in the inability of many people to realize the criminality of taxation. Fear itself is not sufficient to have rulership over a people, otherwise they will eventually conspire against you or try to secede. Rulership requires among the ruled a mixture of fear and love, often referred to as awe in the bible.
Indeed. Rulership is less about physical control than about controlling how people interpret things. The effective ruler provides people with the values and norms in terms of which they interpret reality in a manner favorable to him. He's not a thief, he's collecting tithes for Anu, as his chief agent on Earth, etc.The facts are nothing in themselves, interpretation is everything.
This is actually something that bothers me about AnCap: there is no vessel for the God which people crave so much whether it be in omnipotent beings, or groups of quasi-potent beings. There is in it a vacuum; the god-hole is left wide open, and to be filled with what? The material pleasures of a wealthy society?
I feel the same way. Of course, anarcho-capitalists will say (rightly) that the State should not be that vessel. But what then? They will respond (again, rightly) that which institutions acquire positions of social-cultural-religious authority will be determined unpredictably by free association. However, that's not very satisfying. I wish libertarians gave more thought to developing such institutions. The market is an emergent phenomenon, the firm is not. It is designed by human intellect. To say "the market will sort it out" with respect to the institutions of social-cultural-religious authority means only that someone other than you will develop them; it is to abdicate any responsibility for creating them. Why don't we do it ourselves and invent institutions which compliment and strengthen a libertarian social order? There's no guarantee that any institutions we design will succeed in a free society, but we ought to make an attempt. I'd like to see something like a libertarian sociology, trying to understand what kinds of civil institutions, organizations, associations, et al are possible in and conducive to maintaining a free society. I'd like libertarians to be able to say what civil society should look like (in order to keep society free), not that we would impose any particular order by force, but to have an image in mind, something to persuade people of, something to try to construct through voluntary means./ramble
Clayton:Note that I'm against statists employing this system. I would rather see statists not employ this social technology and I would rather see anti-statists employ it. Unfortunately, I think that most states are controlled primarily by power interests who employ this social technology and one of the primary ends to which they employ the state apparatus is to disrupt the use of this social technology by other families who are less wealthy and powerful. I think it's that big of a deal. I think its power is misunderstood and, thus, vastly underestimated.
Preserving the familial wealth through the generations is obviously essential for the ruling class, and so concentrated inheritance is essential. I can see your case for extending this "social technology" to all families. I'm not sure about the value of primogeniture though. Yes, it has the advantage of being an objective, fixed rule and thereby reducing the likelihood of conflict over the inheritance (barring murder of the first-born by rivals). But, on the other hand, it allows no mechanism for skipping over the incompetent first-borns. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts on this subject, very interesting. :-)

The End of an Artist-Gallery Relationship, from Both Sides
The blog post appears on Tire Shop, written by artist Nancy Baker, and is a generously considered essay on what it felt like to lose her New York gallery, "whose name I won't reveal, although it does begin with a W."
Yes, if you're still not sure, my gallery begins with a "W," and although I'm truly sorry that my decision to cut back our roster was so awful for Nancy personally, her blog post is a true service to artists and gallerists alike. (I've always adored Nancy--she's a true mensch in every sense of the word and a great writer--and I was waiting for this exact post on her blog.)
Even though I won't go into specifics with regards to specific artists here, I will note for those who wonder how I could be so heartless that the decision to cut back our roster (we stopped working with 6 artists last year) came at what was a difficult time for me personally, being somewhat overwhelmed after having just moved into Chelsea and just bought out my former partner, and slowly realizing that I simply didn't know how to move forward with the program we had built together. I felt paralyzed, spent countless sleepless nights in a panic, and in the end felt I had to take care of myself (emotionally and professionally). Which is perhaps ironic, because it's that degree of selfishness that we on the gallery side of the coin often associate with artists who leave their galleries for greener pastures. Like those discussed in the article by Roberta Smith in The New York Times today. It's titled "Dear Gallery: It Was Fun, but I'm Moving Up":
To interested onlookers, such parting of ways can be as unsettling as the sundering of a marriage of old friends. First you hear that the artist has left one gallery for another, or just left with no place to go, although new attachments often pop up suddenly. The news may come like a bolt from the blue or after months of rumors, courtship and offers that can't be refused. The change may seen insane, or make perfect sense. The word sellout, however quaint these days, may be bruited about.You should hear dealers bitch about those "disloyal" artists who move up the food chain. Each such move sends shock waves through the back offices of Chelsea. And yet, knowing some who have moved on (a few from our roster) to still be wonderful human beings, I take them at their word that in the end they did so because they had to take care of themselves, emotionally and professionally.
Some months later you receive the announcement for the artist's first show under, well, new management, in a grander setting, with more lavish trimmings — perhaps a catalog and a pricier price list.
That announcement is like an invitation to a second wedding. It's official; get used to it. Lots of people — the spurned dealer, other artists, longtime intimates or admirers — look on with mixed feelings while quietly parsing the event down to the last detail. They may wonder how "the work" looks in "the space"; what degree of rebranding (for artist and dealer alike) is involved; and who is or is not on the guest list for the post-opening dinner.
But where's the humanity in all this? Why, in an industry that still prides itself on being predominantly built on handshakes, do people feel screwed so frequently? Part of the reason may be that few folks in the art world ever worked in the cut-throat corporate world, where the notion of loyalty seems quaint. Companies merge, and thousands get pinkslipped on a constant basis. Decisions are made so far above the pay level of those affected that the idea of hurt feelings and upturned lives seems ridiculously irrelevant.
In the more mom-and-pop shop nature of the art world, though, there's no one that far above anyone. Every dealer knows each of his/her artists personally, and the good ones do feel sorry when things don't work out and try to ease the transition as best they can. Every artist understands that leaving their gallery will be difficult for them (it will can cause the gallery to have very unhappy collectors who were on waiting lists and lots of unpleasant questions to answer all the way around), and the considerate artists do leave as gently as they can. Believe me, this is much more humane than the way such partings are handled in other businesses, and that fact that it is such a big deal (as evidenced by the two pieces noted above) reflects well on the way business is done in general in the art industry in my opinion.
None of which truly makes it less awful when it happens to you (as either artist or dealer), though, I know. There is nothing I can write to conclude here that comes close to being as gorgeous and uplifting a sentiment, though, as how Nancy ended her post:
I still have to get up in the morning, and continue my career. It's not a bad one, I have some good things going, and my father's immortal words "this too shall pass", although hideously, unbearbly cornball, reminds me that this life is just one jangled thread of noise away from the big dirt sleep. So I'm picking myself up once again, and I'm looking forward to another walk on the wildside.Consider this an open thread on the gallery-artist relationship. Do, also, please understand that I will not discuss private matters about specific artists.
