Marcel: Two Justice Systems: Punishment
for the Poor, Profit for the Powerful

Two Justice Systems: Punishment for the Poor, Profit for the Powerful

Learnings from Stability Theory of Complex Systems

The Resilience of Democracy

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically.

Financial Volatility, Deep Capitalist Crisis and Super-Exploitation in South Africa and the World

International Law Reports

Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 215 includes 2022 decision on admissibility and 2025 judgment on the merits of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia.

International Law Reports: Volume 215

This book celebrates the life and legacy of one of Ireland's greatest ever jurists - Gerard Hogan. Across his career as an academic, Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and judge of the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Ireland, Gerard Hogan has had a profound influence on public law. He is widely regarded as Ireland's leading legal scholar, particularly in constitutional law, administrative law, and EU law. The volume in his honour focuses on the central role of courts in public law. It examines how courts shape constitutional systems, interpret legislation, hold public authorities accountable, and protect rights, while maintaining the balance between the executive, legislature, and citizens. Drawing on themes developed in his scholarship, opinions, and judgments, the book addresses issues such as judicial review, constitutional oversight, the rule of law, and the relationship between judicial independence, public confidence, democracy, and accountability. It also considers comparative and global perspectives on how courts perform these functions across different jurisdictions. Reflecting on Gerard Hogan's enduring contributions to debates on judicial review, separation of powers, fundamental rights, and judicial decision-making, the book serves as both a tribute and a lasting scholarly resource. At a time of ongoing constitutional challenges in Ireland and across Europe, it offers a timely reflection on the principles of public law that Gerard Hogan has shaped over several decades, both on and off the bench.

Liber Amicorum in Honour of Gerard Hogan

Public Law and the Centrality of Courts

Der Mensch hat sich so entwickelt, dass er Arbeit als etwas angenehmes empfindet, und während der ersten 98 % seiner Geschichte wurde Arbeit häufig sogar mit Spiel verglichen. Die heute verbreiteten negativen Vorstellungen von "Arbeit" gehen auf die extreme Ungleichheit und Ausbeutung zurück, die mit der Entstehung staatlicher Herrschaft vor rund 5.500 Jahren einhergingen. Deshalb betrachten viele Menschen Arbeit inzwischen vor allem als Mittel zum Einkommenserwerb und damit zum Konsum, statt als Quelle von Kreativität, Gemeinschaft und Selbstverwirklichung. In Warum wir arbeiten müssen greift Jon D. Wisman auf Erkenntnisse aus Ökonomie, Philosophie, Evolutionspsychologie, Sozialanthropologie und Geschichtswissenschaft zurück, um zu untersuchen, wie Arbeit im Verlauf der Menschheitsgeschichte erlebt und verstanden wurde. Mit Blick auf die Gegenwart weist er auf die Absurdität hin, dass trotz eines beispiellosen Wohlstands manche Menschen arbeitslos sind und die meisten Beschäftigten an ihrem Arbeitsplatz keine echte Freiheit genießen, sondern fremdbestimmt werden. Ebenso widersinnig ist angesichts des vorhandenen Reichtums die extreme Ungleichheit, die weitverbreitete Unsicherheit, Stress und Zukunftspessimismus hervorbringt. Die Laissez-faire-Ideologie rechtfertigt jene politischen Entscheidungen, die diese Ungleichheit und Arbeitsbedingungen hervorbringen, und stellt immer höheren Konsum statt sinnvoller Arbeit als Weg zu mehr Glück dar. Wisman entwirft eine überzeugende Alternative für die Zukunft, die auf zwei Reformen basiert, um Arbeit wieder erfüllend zu machen: eine Beschäftigungsgarantie und Demokratie am Arbeitsplatz. Eine Beschäftigungsgarantie würde Sicherheit schaffen, Armut beseitigen und allen Menschen die gesellschaftliche Anerkennung und Selbstachtung ermöglichen, die mit einer produktiven Rolle in der Gesellschaft einhergehen. Maßnahmen zur Förderung von Eigentum und Mitbestimmung der Beschäftigten in ihren Unternehmen würden Freiheit und Demokratie an den Arbeitsplatz bringen. Beide Reformen stehen im Einklang mit grundlegenden gesellschaftlichen Werten und bewahren zugleich die zwei zentralen Institutionen des Kapitalismus: Privateigentum und Märkte.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

The Partner Paradox: From Brilliant Technician to Strategic Client Partner Promotion to partner changes the rules. The work that earned the title is still valuable, but it is no longer the whole job. Technical mastery becomes table stakes. What clients value most is harder to learn on the fly: partners who understand their business, help them see around corners, and make every interaction a good use of their time. Wendy L. Bernero spent more than thirty years at the highest levels of legal marketing and strategy, including as Chief Marketing Officer at Baker McKenzie, Paul Weiss, and Fried Frank. In The Partner Paradox, she distills that experience into a fast-moving parable about a newly promoted litigation partner with seven business days to figure out what “value” really means to a major client’s CEO and general counsel. Readers will discover: <ul> <li>Why technical excellence is the price of admission, not the whole job</li> <li>How the Diagnose-Deploy-Design method turns client understanding into measurable business value</li> <li>How to lead high-stakes value conversations with CEOs and general counsel</li> <li>Why your marketing and business development colleagues are growth partners, not order-takers</li> </ul> Written for emerging partners, practice leaders, and the marketing and business development professionals who support them, The Partner Paradox shows lawyers how to shift from selling technical skills to solving business problems.

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Is shrimp becoming Ecuador's new oil&nbsp;– and at what cost? Valerie Lenikus uncovers the political-economic drivers and the socio-ecological implications of extractivism: how export-led aquaculture has razed mangroves, displaced coastal livelihoods, and sharpened struggles over land and natural resources. Based on the Latin American debate on extractivism, historical conditions and inequalities, and the controversial constitution of 2008, the complex power relations on different spatial levels are depicted, linking the central role of the state and its policies with concrete struggles of communities.
