Oxford University Press Inc The Gun Dilemma How History is Against Expanded
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe conservatives' campaign to expand gun rights through the legislatures and courts often is cloaked in faulty claims about American history. In this book, Robert Spitzer sets the historical record straight when it comes to regulating large-capacity magazines, silencers, and carrying guns in public, as well as with the particularly scary "sanctuary" movement. Common-sense gun regulation, it turns out, is as American as apple pie, and there remains broad public support for that approach. Spitzer's well-founded concern, amply illustrated in this book, is that that approach is being trumped by a pro-gun judicial ideology, putting public safety further at risk. * Philip J. Cook, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy and Economics, Duke University *In an illuminating and wide-ranging analysis, Robert Spitzer demonstrates that many of the most pressing elements of the contemporary gun debate are, in fact, not all that new. Examining a number of different pressing areas of gun policy, this book makes clear that - despite being rife with claims about the role of guns in the country's past-the US firearms debate often centers on a version of history that is incomplete at best and distorted at worst. Spitzer not only sets the historical record straight, but does in a way that sheds important light on how to navigate 'the gun fork in the road' at which the country finds itself. * Matthew Lacombe, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Barnard College, Columbia University *In The Gun Dilemma, Robert Spitzer offers a master class in contemporary gun politics. Spitzer focuses on issues with major social implications: high-capacity magazines, silencers, and-most crucially- guns in public places. The book sets the historical record straight and highlights crucial misperceptions among gun advocates and courts alike. * Alexandra Filindra, Associate Professor of Political Science and Psychology, The University of Illinois at Chicago *According to Spitzer (Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science Emeritus at SUNY-Cortland), the United States is at a gun policy fork in the road (ch. 1)...One path leads to violence-reducing gun laws that Spitzer argues American public opinion supports and asserts the country needs; the other path leads to regressive legal decisions expanding gun rights by Federalist Society-backed Originalist judges, especially on the Supreme Court (p. 22)...The Gun Dilemma was clearly finished right as the Supreme Courtâs Bruen decision was released in June 2022. In what reads as an afterthought, Spitzer notes that the decision is in line with the story he tells. * David Yamane, Gun Curious *Recommended.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Economics of Property Rights
Book SynopsisThis authoritative collection presents the most important published articles on the cultural, legal, philosophical and economic dimensions of property rights. It shows how the economics of property rights has enriched our ability to understand as well as to predict a wide range of real world events.This first volume focuses on the history, development and consequences of property rights as they interact with formal and informal institutions. The second volume considers the effects of alternative property rights on economic performance.This important two-volume collection will be an essential source of reference for both economists and political scientists concerned with property rights.Trade Review'It goes without saying that Professor Pejovich is one of the founding fathers of the economics of property rights. This new theory has revolutionised economic reasoning since the early sixties in two ways: firstly by making law a subject of economic analysis, and secondly by introducing the real world of uncertainty and incomplete knowledge into mainstream economics. Nowadays the Property Rights School is part of the quickly expanding fields of transaction cost analysis and institutional economics. It is rapidly changing our understanding of what is going on in our daily life. The readings in these two volumes cover the classics of property rights economics through to the latest developments in a tremendous area of fresh and informative research. I highly recommend them as a superb collection.' -- Christian Watrin, Universitat zu Koln, GermanyTable of ContentsContents Volume I Acknowledgements Introduction Svetozar Pejovich PART I AN OVERVIEW 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Commons and Anticommons
Book SynopsisThis two-volume collection brings together the most important articles on the tragedies of the commons and anticommons. The first volume presents the bedrock articles that define commons and anticommons theory, from Aristotle to the present. The second volume continues with cutting edge property theory and applications. A judicious selection of articles shows how commons and anticommons metaphors inform current debates at the innovation frontier, ranging from patent thickets to broadcast spectrum licensing. In this extensive introduction, Michael Heller contextualizes the selected papers and provides scholars and policy-makers with an entry point into this rapidly evolving field.Trade Review‘Michael Heller’s Commons and Anticommons could not be more timely. Scholars from a wide variety of disciplines have long been familiar with the problems of the commons, but far less so with respect to the anticommons. No one has done more illuminating work on this surprisingly ubiquitous predicament than Heller. In this book he has very usefully assembled all of the most significant writings on both problems and presented them in a format that covers both the theoretical and applied dimensions of commons and anticommons. This is a singularly valuable book for both scholars and policy analysts.’Table of ContentsContents: Volume I Acknowledgements Introduction Michael Heller PART I PRECURSORS A Commons 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Elgar Companion to the Economics of Property
Book SynopsisEconomics is a matter of choice and growth, of interaction and exchange among individuals. Because property rights define the rules of these interactions and the objects of exchange, it is vital to fully understand the institutions and implications of the various property-rights regimes. With over 20 original and specially commissioned chapters, this book takes the reader from the historical and moral foundations of the discipline to the frontiers of scholarly research in the field.This Companion is both an introduction to the economics of property rights and a guide to help understand and analyse policy issues by making use of the powerful conceptual tools offered by this increasingly popular branch of economics. Following a comprehensive introduction by the editor, the book is divided in to three broad sections which examine the birth and evolution of property rights, investigate the relationship between property rights and the law, and explore contemporary economic issues from a property rights perspective. Together, the chapters in the book do not claim to offer a standard solution to the institutional questions raised by the property-rights issue. Instead, they present the theoretical tools and real-world examples needed to allow the reader to develop new ideas and evaluate existing problems.Non-technical in nature and including a distinguished list of authors from across the spectrum of economic thinking, The Elgar Companion to the Economics of Property Rights makes an invaluable contribution to the literature on economics, law, political science and public choice. For any serious scholar or student of these disciplines, this book will prove to be the ultimate reference companion.Trade Review'The present collection of papers in Elgar's Companion series provides a very useful overview of research on the functions and implications of property rights.' -- Wolfgang Grassl, Journal of Markets and Morality'In 22 well-written chapters, this volume illuminates the major accomplishments of the economics of property rights. While they differ in the scope and extent of their coverage, contributions to this book are focused, carefully researched, well argued, and quite readable. In my judgment, the book takes us to the frontier of the growing stock of knowledge on the origins and consequences of alternative property rights.' -- From the foreword by Steve PejovichTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Steve Pejovich Introduction Enrico Colombatto PART I: THE BIRTH AND EVOLUTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS 1.
