Punitive Damages: How Juries Decide
ISBN: 9780226780153 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past two decades, the United States has seen a dramatic increase in the number and magnitude of punitive damages verdicts rendered by juries in civil trials. Probably the most extraordinary example is the July 2000 award of $144.8 billion in the Florida class action lawsuit brought against cigarette manufacturers. Or consider two recent verdicts against the auto manufacturer BMW in Alabama. In identical cases, argued in the same court before the same judge, one jury awarded $4 million in punitive damages, while the other awarded no punitive damages at all. In cases involving...

ISBN: 9780521615129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is about the complex relationship between fear, danger, and the law. Cass Sunstein argues that the precautionary principle is incoherent and potentially paralyzing, as risks exist on all sides of social situations and there is no 'general' precautionary principle as such. His insight into The Laws of Fear represents a major statement for the contemporary world from one of the most influential political and legal theorists writing today.

What should be done about airplane safety and terrorism, global warming, polluted water, nuclear power, and genetically engineered food?

Risk and Reason explains the sources of these problems and explores what can be done about them. It shows how individual thinking and social interactions lead us in foolish directions. Offering sound proposals for social reform, it explains how a more sensible system of risk regulation, embodied in the idea of a...

After the Rights Revolution: Reconceiving the Regulatory State
ISBN: 9780674009097 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the twentieth century, American society has experienced a "rights revolution": a commitment by the national government to promote a healthful environment, safe products, freedom from discrimination, and other rights unknown to the founding generation. This development has profoundly affected constitutional democracy by skewing the original understanding of checks and balances, federalism, and individual rights. Cass Sunstein tells us how it is possible to interpret and reform this regulatory state regime in a way that will enhance freedom and welfare while remaining faithful to...

Never in history have 1,322 words held out such extraordinary determination to be free as those found in the Declaration of Independence. In 1787, "We the people" were the three words that not only engendered a new and cohesive nation; they went on to change the face of the world as well. In 1791, the first ten Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America, known to us as the Bill of Rights introduced the world to the concept of those singular rights that ought to belong to every free individual. In one compact volume, the full texts of both the... Never in history have 1,322 words held out such extraordinary determination to be free as those found in the Declaration of Independence. In... |

Free Markets and Social Justice
ISBN: 9780195102734 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The newest work from one of the most preeminent voices writing in the legal/political arena today, this important book presents a new conception of the relationship between free markets and social justice. The work begins with foundations--the appropriate role of existing "preferences," the importance of social norms, the question whether human goods are commensurable, and issues of distributional equity. Continuing with rights, the work shows that markets have only a partial but instrumental role in the protection of rights. The book concludes with a discussion on regulation, developing...

Bush took office in January, the nation is still recovering from the prolonged and complex process by which he was elected.

Posner, and John Yoo, among others-weigh in on the Supreme Court's actions, which remain sensible, legally...

Choosing Not to Choose: Understanding the Value of Choice
ISBN: 9780190457297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Our ability to make choices is fundamental to our sense of ourselves as human beings, and essential to the political values of freedom-protecting nations. Whom we love; where we work; how we spend our time; what we buy; such choices define us in the eyes of ourselves and others, and much blood and ink has been spilt to establish and protect our rights to make them freely.
Choice can also be a burden. Our cognitive capacity to research and make the best decisions is limited, so every active choice comes at a cost. In modern life the requirement to make active choices can often be...

Why Groups Go to Extremes
ISBN: 9780844742670 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How does group behavior drive extremism and challenge democratic values? Cass R. Sunstein argues that the key to preventing the spread of extremist views is not to suppress deliberation among the like-minded; such groups productively challenge conventional thinking and majority opinion. Instead, policymakers should develop institutions to ensure that like-minded groups encounter a diversity of opinions within civil society. The goal, Sunstein contends, must be to create opportunities for civil deliberation that expose like-minded group members to opposing views, while exposing society at...

Going to Extremes: How Like Minds Unite and Divide
ISBN: 9780199754120 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why do people become extremists? What makes people become so dismissive of opposing views? Why is political and cultural polarization so pervasive in America? In Going to Extremes, renowned legal scholar and best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein offers startling insights into why and when people gravitate toward extremism. Sunstein marshals a wealth of evidence that shows that when like-minded people gather in groups, they tend to become more extreme in their views than they were before. Thus when liberals group get together to debate climate change, they end up more alarmed about climate...
