The Millennium Problem And The Marketplace Of Ideas: Insights Into Freedom, Responsibility, And Technological Development, Scott Devito, Dennis R. Cooley Jun 1998

The Millennium Problem And The Marketplace Of Ideas: Insights Into Freedom, Responsibility, And Technological Development, Scott Devito, Dennis R. Cooley

Scott DeVito

A close analysis of the Y2K problem provides valuable insight into the ethics of technology. We contend that the primary cause of the Y2K problem is a lack of, what John Stuart Mill calls, originality (and the related loss of freedom, diversity, and understanding) in the information technology (IT) industry. If the various IT companies had supported originality, then they would have empowered their employees to respond to the foreseen difficulties associated with the change of millennium long before these difficulties blossomed into the current worldwide problem. We contend that originality, which requires and nourishes both intellectual vigor and diversity, …


State Corporate Taxation And Business Power: A Pooled Analysis, Andrew Ewoh, Euel Elliott Feb 1998

State Corporate Taxation And Business Power: A Pooled Analysis, Andrew Ewoh, Euel Elliott

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

This article investigates whether businesses in concentrated or regulated industries are more likely to exert influence in the area of tax policy. Simultaneous equation models are developed that describe the behavior of firms in their effort to achieve policy outcomes beneficial to their common interests. These models are estimated using pooled time series cross-sectional data. The results show that firms in concentrated industries are likely to seek political influence if they are affected by direct or exclusive government regulation. The study also reveals that industrial concentration leads to greater corporate income. Examination of the political partisanship thesis provides support for …

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Dec 1997

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

La prima conseguenza della nostra cultura giuridica dell'audizione che è anche cultura dell'oralità, del discorso e della scrittura (di tutto ciò che serve per parlare e fissare quello che può essere detto) è la volontaria atrofia degli altri sensi: il tatto, il gusto, l'olfatto e la vista. Il Diritto quasi non tocca le cose. Le concepisce mentalmente, le dice, però, anche se con i guanti deve toccare il corpo del delitto.

"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan Dec 1997

"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

This Article reexamines the doctrine of public use under the Takings Clause and its ability to impede takings for private use through an application of public choice theory. It argues that the judicial validation of interest-group capture of the condemnation power through a relaxed public use standard in Takings Clause review can be explained by interest group politics and public choice theory and by institutional tendencies inherent in the independent judiciary. Legislators can sell the eminent domain power to special interests for almost any use, promising durability in the deal given the low probability that the judiciary will invalidate it …
