Malcolm H: Poverty in Jamaica

Poverty in Jamaica

A Law and Policy Perspective

In many parts of the world, 100-degree days are already common. In the Indian subcontinent, temperatures can become so high that concrete in the cities buckles. In Morocco, hotter and longer droughts threaten crops and livestock, possibly wiping out the livelihood of millions. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late.Renowned economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combating climate change and the devastation that is already causing the most serious global crisis of our time. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research, years of fieldwork around the world, and deep engagement with world leaders and climate negotiators, Banerjee, Duflo, and Greenstone dive deeply into the specifics to show how this grand bargain would work to curtail emissions and address the suffering of the world's neediest.This paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.

A Better Deal for People and Planet

Just Economics

Rechtstheorie - Legal Theory

RTh (Mohr Siebeck)

Global value chains exist in the blind spots of legal doctrine and are hence marked by a diffusion of responsibility. For private law, this entails a methodological challenge that is exemplary for dealing with globalisation - that is, to apprehend global value chains in both their economic and societal dynamics.

Zur sozialen Aufgabe des Rechts der Globalisierung

Rechtsverfassung globaler Produktion

Since the mid-1960s, citizens' rights in the United States have improved across many areas, including race, gender, sexuality, physical disabilities, age, consumption of goods, voting, and more. During this time, there has also been a degradation in economic rights, such as economic inequality. Is there a reason for this contradiction? Is it possible for American citizens to experience rights and equality?


At the center of natural rights theories lies the "inalienable" right to private property, and the concepts and practices of the accumulation of private property always defeat personal liberties. Modern political philosophers who espouse natural rights, including liberal John Rawls and conservative James M. Buchanan, share nearly identical premises and goals. The two sides do not often recognize that the free-standing individual at the center of mainstream theorizing in economics and politics simply does not exist. We are social animals, all embedded in (unequal) networks of social and economic relations, requiring very different explanatory frameworks from those given by individual rights theorizing.


This book explores the ways in which the foundational ideology of individual rights belies the actualities of economic inequality. It argues that "individual rights" philosophy offers the main ideological basis for the astronomical accumulation of wealth that produces this inequality. Investigating the defects of rights theory, the book examines key concepts related to social progress and economic stability. The resulting text presents and analyzes the networks of contemporary corporate, business, and financial power that structurally and systemically limit the lives and choices of citizens in the United States.

How Individual Rights and Property Stand in Opposition to Working Conditions and Equality

Individual Rights over Economic Equality

Why Big Labor moved to the right—and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

This book touches on a wide range of legal issues that the BRICS countries or the BRICS legal scholars particularly care about. Given the intensified geo-political competition, it is important for government officials and legal scholars around the word understand not only their own legal conceptions, but also those legal positions owned by the others, so as to construct an inclusive legal order that is acceptable to the largest majority of the global population. This book provides an insightful legal perspective of the BRICS countries and scholars, making up for the lack of English literature on the legal research of the BRICS.

China Arbitration Yearbook (2024)

This book, as a monograph devoted to the concept of right, takes as its vantage point the historical transformation of human society from agricultural civilization to commercial–industrial civilization. It traces the formation and evolution of the concept of right, analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the right‑related thought of three major Western jurisprudential traditions and their representative figures, repudiates the intellectual constraints that existing Western notions of right have imposed upon the Chinese legal academy, and develops a theoretical system of right supported by such core concepts as the constitution of right, the ontological foundation of right, the bearer of right, the function of right, and the semantic transformation of right.

On Right

From the man that the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else?&nbsp;For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for&nbsp;free&nbsp;and treat as&nbsp;infinite: nature.&nbsp;Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. In&nbsp;On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously.&nbsp;On Natural Capital&nbsp;is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.

Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics 2027

This book defines the substance over form doctrine in Tax Law and sets clear limits on its application within the Brazilian Constitutional Tax System. Grounded in Brazilian constitutional principles and illustrated with case examples, the analysis develops a general framework that is extensible to other liberal democracies, testing the doctrine’s compatibility with constitutional principles while delineating boundaries for legitimate use. Drawing on a paradigmatic case from Brazilian Tax Law, Chapter One offers a precise definition of the substance over form argument and examines each component to distinguish it from accounting based approaches to taxation, debates on the relationship between Tax Law and Private Law, the defeasibility of tax rules, the rejection of qualification nominalism, and the principle of material truth; it also maps points of contact with interpretations of “form” as requirements for the existence or validity of legal transactions or as essential elements of those transactions, and presents multiple examples of the doctrine’s use in Brazilian Tax Law. Chapter Two critically refutes three common justifications for the prevalence of substance over form in Brazil—broad notions of simulation, the principle of contributive capacity, and economic substance—and then analyzes eight constitutional principles that favor a priori formal qualification criteria in tax matters: the rule of law, democracy, separation of powers, legality, legal certainty, human dignity, freedom, and equality. Chapter Three outlines practical limits on substance over form arguments by identifying preference rules for resolving conflicts among qualification criteria for facts, acts, and legal transactions in Brazilian Tax Law—whether in “form versus form” or “form versus substance” structures—thus providing a rigorous, constitutionally grounded roadmap for courts, tax authorities, and practitioners focused on Brazilian Tax Law, the Constitutional Tax System, economic substance, formal qualification, and legal certainty. Chapter Four compares the definition and criteria for applying the substance-over-form argument, as established in light of examples from Brazilian Tax Law, with key cases of this argument’s application in other countries. The aim is to outline, even if only preliminarily, the limits of the applicability of the theses presented in this work to other legal systems.

Form and Substance in Tax Law

This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on the use of documentary evidence in legal proceedings.
 
 In its first part, the book presents a critical overview of the current state of legal scholarship and jurisprudence concerning documentary evidence. It argues that, particularly in civil law jurisdictions, the law often rests on two flawed assumptions: that documents are sensory equivalents and that they are objective, with self-evident meaning that requires no interpretation or intersubjective validation. The result, in the author's view, is a legal culture that treats documentary evidence as a kind of objective "gold standard," obscuring the subjectivity and interpretive work that actually goes into creating and evaluating such evidence.
 
 The second part draws on general epistemology and semiotics to challenge these assumptions. It explores the role of context, the differences between human testimony and machine-generated evidence, and the need for comprehensive evidentiary sets. Through a semiotic lens, it examines various types of signs and the processes of representation and interpretation that underlie each type of documentary evidence.
 
 Building on these theoretical foundations, the third part proposes a new framework for understanding documentary evidence. It emphasizes the need for understanding the “physiological” functioning of each type of document and considers factors such as the nature of the sign, potential pathological or physiological alterations, and whether the source is human or mechanical.
 
 Finally, offers both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for all actors involved in the admission, production, and evaluation of documentary evidence—judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and others—providing tools for a more critical, contextual, and accurate approach to legal proof.
