Book Synopsis Property Rights (Routledge Revivals) by : Lawrence C. Becker
Download or read book Property Rights (Routledge Revivals) written by Lawrence C. Becker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Property Rights: Philosophic Foundations, first published in 1977, comprehensively examines the general justifications for systems of private property rights, and discusses with great clarity the major arguments as to the rights and responsibilities of property ownership. In particular, the arguments that hold that there are natural rights derived from first occupancy, labour, utility, liberty and virtue are considered, as are the standard anti-property arguments based on disutility, virtue and inequality, and the belief that justice in distribution must take precedence over private ownership. Lawrence Becker goes on to contend that there are four sound lines of argument for private property that, together with what is sound in the anti-property arguments, must be co-ordinated to form the foundations of a new theory. He therefore expounds a concise but sophisticated theory of property that is relevant to the modern world, and concludes by indicating some of the implications of his theory.

Book Synopsis Efficiency, Equality and the Ownership of Property (Routledge Revivals) by : James E. Meade
Download or read book Efficiency, Equality and the Ownership of Property (Routledge Revivals) written by James E. Meade and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1964, this is a study of the extreme inequalities in the ownership of property, in economies across the globe. Professor Meade examines in depth the economic, demographic and social factors which lead to such inequalities. He considers a wide range of remedial policies – educational development, reformed death duties and capital taxes, demographic policies, trade union action, the socialization of property, the development of a property-owning democracy, the expansion of the welfare state. The argument is expressed in precise analytical terms, but the main exposition is free of mathematics and technical jargon and is designed for the interested layman as well as the economist.

Book Synopsis People Without Rights by : Andrew Fede
Download or read book People Without Rights written by Andrew Fede and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in September 1992, the book traces the nature and development of the fundamental legal relationships among slaves, masters, and third parties. It shows how the colonial and antebellum Southern judges and legislators accommodated slaverye(tm)s social relationships into the common law, and how slave law evolved in different states over time in response to social political, economic, and intellectual developments. The book states that the law of slavery in the US South treated slaves both as people and property. It reconciles this apparent contradiction by demonstrating that slaves were defined in the law as items of human property without any legal rights. When the lawmakers recognized slaves as people, they burdened slaves with added legal duties and disabilities. This epitomized in legal terms slaverye(tm)s oppressive social relationships. The book also illustrates how cases in which the lawmakers recognized slaves as people legitimized slaverye(tm)s inhumanity. References in the law to the legal humanity of people held as slaves are shown to be rhetorical devices and cruel ironies that regulated the relative rights of the slavese(tm) owners and other free people that were embodied in people held as slaves. Thus, it is argued that it never makes sense to think of slave legal rights. This was so even when the lawmakers regulated the individual masterse(tm) rights to treat their slaves as they wished. These regulations advanced policies that the lawmakers perceived to be in the public interest within the context of a slave society.
Book Synopsis Resistance to Change in the Soviet Economic System (Routledge Revivals) by : Jan Winiecki

This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991, this book uses a property rights perspective to analyse why there is such widespread resistance to change in the Soviet Economic System. Many within the ruling stratum benefit considerably from their positions, particularly in terms of access to goods and services. In an original conclusion Jan Winiecki argues that a cost-effective way of removing the resistance of the parasitic ruling stratum would be a system of compensatory payments.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Property Law by : Paul Jackson
Download or read book Contemporary Property Law written by Paul Jackson and published by Routledge Revivals. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this is the first of two books based on papers given at the conference organised by the Centre for Property Law at Reading in March 1998 under the title 'Contemporary Issues in Property Law'. Speakers represented jurisdictions from around the world. Their subjects ranged from the theoretical and jurisprudential to the severely practical. No one who attended the conference - or subsequently reads the papers in this and the following book, Property Law: Current Issues and Debates - can believe in the picture of property law as archetypical, dry as dust, black letter, law. Questions of human rights, changes in social structures, technological developments are all shown to have their impact on property law, calling for careful analysis of the present law and practical proposals for reforms to reflect new developments.

Book Synopsis Capital and Power (Routledge Revivals) by : John Girling
Download or read book Capital and Power (Routledge Revivals) written by John Girling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, this book comprises a critical evaluation of Marxist, Gramscian and pluralist theories of social development; the application of these theories, chiefly to Third World countries: hence consideration of the problems of ‘specificity’, general theory and social change. This is followed by an assessment of the stages of economic development in relation to state power and politics; and the role of the ‘external’: the impact of the world market economy and the security imperative. The book is not a discussion of theory, but of theory-in-practice. Above all, it represents a continuing debate between Marxism and pluralism – on the themes of accumulation, power, legitimacy – resulting in convergence.

Book Synopsis The Coal Question (Routledge Revivals) by : Ben Fine
Download or read book The Coal Question (Routledge Revivals) written by Ben Fine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coal industry has always occupied a symbolic place in British economic and political life, inspiring debates and arousing passions throughout the last two centuries. This account of the economics of coal, first published in 1990, is unique in its comprehensive three-part approach. First, Ben Fine charts the ways in which the theoretical understanding of the British coal industry has changed over the past two centuries and discusses the arguments surrounding public ownership versus the privatization of the industry. In the second part, the book presents a critical assessment of the existing literature and challenges the well-established orthodoxies by close theoretical and empirical argument. Finally, attention is paid to the role of landed property and the processes of technical change. An interesting analysis of the complex relationship between industrial change and political economy and an important contribution to economics, this study will be of great value to students of the theory and history of industrial change and the British coal industry.
