Supreme Neglect
ISBN: 9780195304602 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As far back as the Magna Carta in 1215, the right of private property was seen as a bulwark of the individual against the arbitrary power of the state. Indeed, common-law tradition holds that "property is the guardian of every other right." And yet, for most of the last seventy years, property rights had few staunch supporters in America.
This latest addition to Oxford's Inalienable Rights series provides a succinct, pointed look at property rights in America--how they came to be, how they have evolved, and why they should once again be a mainstay of the law. Richard A. Epstein, the... As far back as the Magna Carta in 1215, the right of private property was seen as a bulwark of the individual against the arbitrary power of the state...

The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government
ISBN: 9780674975460 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 704 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. American liberals and conservatives alike take for granted a progressive view of the Constitution that took root in the early twentieth century. Richard Epstein laments this complacency which, he believes, explains America's current economic malaise and political gridlock. Steering clear of well-worn debates between defenders of originalism and proponents of a living Constitution, Epstein employs close textual reading, historical analysis, and political and economic theory to urge a return to the classical liberal theory of governance that animated the framers' original text, and to the...

Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration, and the Rule of Law
ISBN: 9780674061842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Following a vast expansion in the twentieth century, government is beginning to creak at the joints under its enormous weight. The signs are clear: a bloated civil service, low approval ratings for Congress and the President, increasing federal-state conflict, rampant distrust of politicians and government officials, record state deficits, and major unrest among public employees. In this compact, clearly written book, the noted legal scholar Richard Epstein advocates a much smaller federal government, arguing that our over-regulated state allows too much discretion on the part of regulators,...

Forbidden Grounds: The Case Against Employment Discrimination Laws
ISBN: 9780674308091 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 550 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This timely and controversial book presents powerful theoretical and empirical arguments for the repeal of the anti-discrimination laws within the workplace. Richard Epstein demonstrates that these laws set one group against another, impose limits on freedom of choice, unleash bureaucratic excesses, mandate inefficient employment practices, and cause far more invidious discrimination than they prevent. Epstein urges a return to the now-rejected common law principles of individual autonomy that permit all persons to improve their position through trade, contract, and bargain, free of...

Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain
ISBN: 9780674867291 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. If legal scholar Richard Epstein is right, then the New Deal is wrong, if not unconstitutional. Epstein reaches this sweeping conclusion after making a detailed analysis of the eminent domain, or takings, clause of the Constitution, which states that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. In contrast to the other guarantees in the Bill of Rights, the eminent domain clause has been interpreted narrowly. It has been invoked to force the government to compensate a citizen when his land is taken to build a post office, but not when its value is diminished...
