    Bruno Leoni's Legacy and Continued Relevance

    BRUNO LEONI’S LEGACY AND CONTINUED RELEVANCE Todd Zywicki, George Mason University School of Law George Mason University Law and Economics Research Paper Series 14-49 This paper is available on the Social Science Research Network at http://ssrn.com/abstract=2503080 Bruno Leoni’s Legacy and Continued Relevance By Todd Zywicki∗ George Mason University School of Law Abstract In his famous book, Freedom and the Law, originally published in 1961, Italian lawyer- economist Bruno Leoni posed the question of whether over the long run a society and legal system premised primarily on legislative law-making could sustain a system of individual liberty, or whether such a system required a common law-style foundation to support it. In this article I evaluate Leoni’s challenge and find that his predictions about the nature of a legislative- centered legal system not only are more relevant than ever, but that recent tendencies toward extreme and arbitrary law-making by executive edict are consistent with the trends and intellectual principles that Leoni identified over 50 years ago. By identifying the underlying jurisprudential theories that generated the current state of affairs, Leoni’s warnings are even more relevant today than ever before. JEL Codes: B3, K00, K1 Keywords: Bruno Leoni, F.A. Hayek, common law, legislation, spontaneous order, judicial process This year would have been Bruno Leoni’s 101st birthday but for his tragic murder in 1967.1 Leoni was an Italian lawyer cum academic who was one of Europe’s leading classical liberal thinkers in the post-War era. Friend to the leading classical liberals of the age—counting Hayek, Buchanan, and Alchian as friends—Leoni was not only a pioneer of law and economic thought but also an early adopter of public choice theory (Kemp 1990).

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today

    Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today

    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

Therefore, I would like to especially thank Dr. Madeleine Hosli and Dr. Edwin Bakker for shepherding me throughout this time, and who have been kind enough to supervise my academic growth and the process leading up to this thesis. My gratitude also goes to the researchers at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs for helping me with a few of the unexpected intricacies that arose while writing this thesis. I would also like to thank my friends for helping translate the multitude of sources written in different languages, and my family for their support and patience in the culmination of my studies. !2 of 73!

    STRUGGLING FOR A NEW LEFT: THE NEW TENDENCY, AUTONOMIST MARXISM, AND RANK-AND-FILE ORGANIZING IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO DURING THE 1970S A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Sean Antaya 2018 Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies M.A. Graduate Program September 2018 ABSTRACT Thesis Title: Struggling for a New Left: The New Tendency, Autonomist Marxism, and Rank- and-File Organizing in Windsor, Ontario during the 1970s Author’s Name: Sean Antaya Summary: This study examines the emergence of the New Left organization, The New Tendency, in Windsor, Ontario during the 1970s. The New Tendency, which developed in a number of Ontario cities, represents one articulation of the Canadian New Left’s turn towards working-class organizing in the early 1970s after the student movement’s dissolution in the late 1960s. Influenced by dissident Marxist theorists associated with the Johnson-Forest Tendency and Italian workerism, The New Tendency sought to create alternative forms of working-class organizing that existed outside of, and often in direct opposition to, both the mainstream labour movement and Old Left organizations such as the Communist Party and the New Democratic Party. After examining the roots of the organization and the important legacies of class struggle in Windsor, the thesis explores how The New Tendency contributed to working-class self activity on the shop-floor of Windsor’s auto factories and in the community more broadly. However, this New Left mobilization was also hampered by inner-group sectarianism and a rapidly changing economic context.
