Israel M Kirzner - The Meaning of the Market Process: Essays in the Development of Modern Austrian Economics

Israel M Kirzner - The Meaning of the Market Process: Essays in the Development of Modern Austrian Economics

Published: 1996-06-06 | ISBN: 0415137381, 0415068665 | PDF | 264 pages | 3 MB

Israel Kirzner is the foremost proponent of the modern Austrian theory of the market process. This theory, while concurring with many of the major policy implications of neo-classical economics, sharply dissents from much of the substance and methodology of neo-classicism. Emphasising the crucial role of ignorance, uncertainty, and the passage of time, Austrian economists criticize the 'tight equilibrium' approach of the mainstream. Yet the Austrians refuse to conclude that the major conclusions of economics are to be rejected. By introducing the role of the entrepreneur and of entrepreneurial discovery (an innovation in which the author's earlier work has played a central role), modern Austrian economists believe it possible to steer a middle course between those who believe the world to be at all times in full co-ordination, and those who believe it to lack any important co-ordinative properties altogether. The Meaning of Market Process offers new substantive insights in support of this Austrian position, and new historical interpretations of how the ideas of the modern Austrians emerged.

Larry May, Zachary Hoskins - International Criminal Law and Philosophy

Published: 2009-10-12 | ISBN: 0521191513, 110741525X | PDF | 270 pages | 3 MB

International Criminal Law and Philosophy is the first anthology to bring together legal and philosophical theorists to examine the normative and conceptual foundations of international criminal law. In particular, through these essays the international group of authors addresses questions of state sovereignty; of groups, rather than individuals, as perpetrators and victims of international crimes; of international criminal law and the promotion of human rights and social justice; and of what comes after international criminal prosecutions, namely, punishment and reconciliation. International criminal law is still an emerging field, and as it continues to develop, the elucidation of clear, consistent theoretical groundings for its practices will be crucial. The questions raised and issues addressed by the essays in this volume will aid in this important endeavor.
