Download or read book The Logical Foundations of Constitutional Liberty written by James M. Buchanan and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirty-one papers presented in this volume offer scholars and general readers alike a comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the greatest economists of the modern era. Many of Buchanan's most important essays are gathered in this inaugural volume of the twenty-volume series from Liberty Fund of his Collected Works. The editors have focused on papers that Buchanan has written without collaboration and which present Buchanan's earlier, classic statements on crucial subjects rather than his subsequent elaborations which appear in later volumes in the series. Included, too, is Buchanan's Nobel address, "The Constitution of Economic Policy," and the text of the Nobel Committee's press release explaining why Buchanan was awarded the prize for Economics in 1986. The volume also includes Buchanan's autobiographical essay, "Better Than Plowing," in which he gives not only a brief account of his life, but also his own assessment of what is important, distinctive, and enduring in his work. The foreword by the three series editors will be valuable to all readers who wish to engage the challenging but epochal writings of the father of modern public choice theory. --

Download or read book Foundations of a Free Society written by Gregory Salmieri and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of a Free Society brings together some of the most knowledgeable Ayn Rand scholars and proponents of her philosophy, as well as notable critics, putting them in conversation with other intellectuals who also see themselves as defenders of capitalism and individual liberty. United by the view that there is something importantly right—though perhaps also much wrong—in Rand’s political philosophy, contributors reflect on her views with the hope of furthering our understandings of what sort of society is best and why. The volume provides a robust elaboration and defense of the foundation of Rand’s political philosophy in the principle that force paralyzes and negates the functioning of reason; it offers an in-depth scholarly discussion of Rand’s view on the nature of individual rights and the role of government in defending them; it deals extensively with the similarities and differences between Rand’s thought and the libertarian tradition (to which she is often assimilated) and objections to her positions arising from this tradition; it explores Rand’s relation to the classical liberal tradition, specifically with regard to her defense of freedom of the intellect; and it discusses her views on the free market, with special attention to the relation between these views and those of the Austrian school of economics.

Download or read book Freedom s Right written by Axel Honneth and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of justice is one of the most intensely debated areas of contemporary philosophy. Most theories of justice, however, have only attained their high level of justification at great cost. By focusing on purely normative, abstract principles, they become detached from the sphere that constitutes their “field of application” - namely, social reality. Axel Honneth proposes a different approach. He seeks to derive the currently definitive criteria of social justice directly from the normative claims that have developed within Western liberal democratic societies. These criteria and these claims together make up what he terms “democratic ethical life”: a system of morally legitimate norms that are not only legally anchored, but also institutionally established. Honneth justifies this far-reaching endeavour by demonstrating that all essential spheres of action in Western societies share a single feature, as they all claim to realize a specific aspect of individual freedom. In the spirit of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right and guided by the theory of recognition, Honneth shows how principles of individual freedom are generated which constitute the standard of justice in various concrete social spheres: personal relationships, economic activity in the market, and the political public sphere. Honneth seeks thereby to realize a very ambitious aim: to renew the theory of justice as an analysis of society.

Book excerpt: The United States of America has been the greatest experiment for liberty the world has ever seen. It was an idea centered on limited government, decentralized power, and a strong moral fabric. America's journey has not always been perfect, but its founding documents recognized a set of ideas that are inspiring to every person because they embrace an eternal truth that every human has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that these natural rights were granted by God and not the government.Unfortunately, many of the founding principles that made America great have been slowly eroding away and the foundations for which liberty stands are now on shaky ground. Foundations for Liberty was written to help a generation rediscover America's foundations and what it means to truly be free and self-governing. America's future is in your hands and the freedom we cherish is now one generation away from extinction. It's time to awaken the sleeping giant inside of the American people! Embrace this book and reignite the flames of liberty. It's time to rediscover freedom in the 21st Century.

APPENDIX F Land Nationalisation Having admitted that it is desirable to nationalise the land, and having provisionally objected to the most popular scheme for so doing, it is not unreasonable that I should be expected to suggest some alternative scheme. There is at the present moment a great amount of agricultural land which could be purchased by the State at a very low price. This land could be bought piecemeal. It is always happening, and it will presumably continue to happen, that valueless lands become very valuable either unexpectedly (as in the case of the discovery of minerals), or owing to the deliberate "developing " of the land by the owners. While the first of these causes of value should not be left out of count, the second is the more important. In these days of cheap and easy locomotion the site of a town is of comparatively slight importance; and moreover the worst and most unproductive soils will do as well for building on as the best. The State then having purchased a certain area of cheap land could proceed to "develop" some part of this, the building and roadmaking being put out to contract. Buildings and land would thus both belong to the State, and would be worked by a Government Estate Office situated on the spot. There would be thus no leasing of land to builders or speculators,1 but in order to convenience prospective tenants the State would be at liberty to consider the wishes of individuals, and when desirable to build to order. If it is true that the State would make such a desirable landlord as some affirm, such a town if laid out in a healthy and attractive manner (as would be very possible under the circumstances), and if managed on business lines, ought to be very successful. The 1 This elimination of the...
