The Power to Tax: Analytic Foundations of a Fiscal Constitution
ISBN: 9780521027922 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Should government's power to tax be limited? The events of the late 1970s in the wake of California's Proposition 13 brought this question very sharply into popular focus. Whether the power to tax should be restricted, and if so how, are issues of immediate policy significance. Providing a serious analysis of these issues, the authors of this 1980 book offer an approach to the understanding and evaluation of the fiscal system, one that yields profound implications. The central question becomes: how much 'power to tax' would the citizen voluntarily grant to government as a party to some...

Method and Morals in Constitutional Economics: Essays in Honor of James M. Buchanan
ISBN: 9783540419709 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 571 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This Festschrift was "presented" in electronic form to Buchanan on the occasion of his eightieth birthday on October 3, 1999, after dinner in Fairfax, Virginia. As one might have expected, the response to our call for papers was vo- luminous. In looking over the many contributions, we felt that a "published" Festschrift was also possible and fitting for the eightieth birthday of so prodi- gious and influential a scholar as Professor Buchanan. To that end we have assembled the following volume. In selecting the papers to be included here we have basically tried to choose those papers which in...

Democracy and Decision: The Pure Theory of Electoral Preference
ISBN: 9780521585248 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do voters in large scale democracies reliably vote for the electoral outcomes most in their own interest? Much of the literature on voting predicts that they do, but this book argues that fully rational voters will not, in fact, consistently vote for the political outcomes they prefer. The authors critique the dominant interest-based theory of voting and offer a competing theory, which they term an "expressive" theory of electoral politics. This theory is shown to be more coherent and more consistent with actually observed voting behavior. In particular, the theory does a better job of...

Common Minds: Themes from the Philosophy of Philip Pettit
ISBN: 9780199218165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During a career spanning over thirty years Philip Pettit has made seminal contributions in moral philosophy, political philosophy, philosophy of the social sciences, philosophy of mind and action, and metaphysics. His many contributions would be remarkable enough in themselves, but they are made all the more remarkable by the ways in which Pettit connects them with each other. Pettit holds that the lessons learned when thinking about problems in one area of philosophy often constitute ready-made solutions to problems we faced in completely different areas. His body of work taken as a whole...

The Economy of Esteem: An Essay on Civil and Political Society
ISBN: 9780199289813 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking book by two distinguished scholars from different disciplines begins by outlining the psychology of esteem and the way the working of that psychology can give rise to an economy. It then shows how a variety of social patterns that are otherwise anomalous come to make a lot of sense within an economics of esteem. And it looks, finally, at the ways in which the economy of esteem may be reshaped so as to make for an improvement -- by reference to received criteria -- in overall social outcomes. While making connections with older patterns of social theorising, it offers a...

The Reason of Rules: Constitutional Political Economy
ISBN: 9780521070904 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Societies function on the basis of rules. These rules, rather like the rules of the road, coordinate the activities of individuals who have a variety of goals and purposes. Whether the rules work well or ill, and how they can be made to work better, is a matter of major concern. Appropriately interpreted, the working of social rules is also the central subject matter of modern political economy. This book is about rules - what they are, how they work, and how they can be properly analysed. The authors' objective is to understand the workings of alternative political institutions so that...

Economics and Religion: Are They Distinct?
ISBN: 9780792394433 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. What is the relation between economics and religion? In particular, are theology and economics entirely autonomous and distinct areas of inquiry? Economics and Religion: Are They Distinct? takes an inductive approach using case studies to shed light on the extent to which economics may be regarded as independent of the religious beliefs of its practitioners. The case studies comprise the first part of the book and are listed chronologically. These case studies are followed by commentaries, or interpretive essays; the authors of these commentaries are acting as a jury to consider the...

Explaining Norms
ISBN: 9780199654680 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Norms are a pervasive yet mysterious feature of social life. In Explaining Norms, four philosophers and social scientists team up to grapple with some of the many mysteries, offering a comprehensive account of norms: what they are; how and why they emerge, persist and change; and how they work. Norms, they argue, should be understood in non-reductive terms as clusters of normative attitudes that serve the function of making us accountable to one another--with the different kinds of norms (legal, moral, and social norms) differing in virtue of being constituted by different kinds of normative...

Democratic Devices and Desires
ISBN: 9780521639774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a novel approach to the analysis of democracy, and an application of that approach to a variety of democratic institutions, including elections, representation, political parties and the separation of powers. Standard economic approaches to politics concentrate on the design of institutions and the role of individuals motivated by self-interest. The authors incorporate a broader view of political motivation, assuming individuals are moral as well as rational, and provide a wide-ranging discussion of the design of democratic institutions.

A key question is how responsive are Australian institutions to the challenges posed by environmental issues? This book focuses on how effectively political institutions and organisations are able to address concerns about the deterioration of the environment. The book considers the key players in environmental debate and policy-making: social movements, interest groups, political parties, the media, the parliaments and the bureaucracy. It contains much rich empirical material. This stimulating and original book makes an important...
