Résumé :
|
Concerning the midst of a world wide debate over whether there should be "more" or "less" government, this grund breaking book moves veyond the "more-less" question by presenting a vew conception of the relationship vetween free markets and social justice. Instead of asking whether there should be more or less regulation C.R. Susnstein asks readers to consider what kinds of regulations promote human well-being in different contexts. He develops seven basic themes, involving the myth of laissez-faire, the importance of fair distribution, the puzzle of human rationality, the diversity of human gooks, the role of social norms in forming people's preferences, the contextual character of choice, and the effects of law on human desires. The discussion begins with an examination of foundations - the appropriate role of existing "preferences", the importance of social norms, the question of whether hyuman goods are commensurable, and issues of distributrional equity. The second part of the book deals with human rights. The third part of the book examines the question of regulation, especially in the context of environmental protection and risks to safety and health.
