  • John Stuart Mill Y La Cuestión Sobre El Paternalismo* John Stuart Mill and the Paternalism Issue
    FECHA DE RECEPCIÓN: 04/01/16 FECHA DE APROBACIÓN: 18/01/16 John Stuart Mill y la cuestión sobre el paternalismo* John Stuart Mill and the paternalism issue Leandro Cornejo Amoretti** Resumen: La presente investigación estudia el pensamiento de John Stuart Mill y su posición alrededor de la justificación del paternalismo, tomando en consideración el principio de daño elaborado en su obra “Sobre la libertad”. Dos son los objetivos de este trabajo. En primer lugar, se analizarán las tesis anti-paternalistas sostenidas por este autor para 8 identificar sus deficiencias y limitaciones. En segundo lugar, se busca determinar hasta 4 qué punto dichas tesis realmente se opusieron a dichas intervenciones, para verificar la exactitud de aquella creencia algo extendida que considera a Mill como un fuerte opositor del paternalismo. Se concluye que los defectos de las tesis de Mill se explican en buena cuenta debido a un exceso de optimismo en las capacidades de los seres humanos para la auto-regulación, un fuerte escepticismo sobre la capacidad del Estado para lograr medidas paternalistas efectivas, el otorgamiento de un peso excesivamente fuerte e irrealista a la autonomía individual, entre otras consideraciones erróneas. Asimismo se concluye que no es correcto afirmar que John Stuart Mill haya sostenido una tesis anti-paternalista sumamente amplia o casi absoluta. Si bien su famoso principio de Asociación Civil Asociación daño permite excluir de validez a muchas medidas de dicha naturaleza, una revisión Derecho & Sociedad más detallada de toda su obra permite mostrar que Mill admitió la validez de muchas 13 intervenciones en adultos. Abstract: The present investigations study the John Stuart Mill thinking and his position towards paternalism justification, taking into account the harm principle elaborated in his book “On Liberty”.

  • Economics of Business
    Draft notes for Bob Wayland’s Economics of Business Class 1 Notes, Part 1: Economics: The Delightful Science1 Objectives: Part I of these notes sets out a framework of four economic concepts found in Adam Smith’s work and introduces the class readings within that context. The readings are noted in bold face as they are introduced. There really is a story line to the course beginning with what is a firm and ending with the origins of new firms through entrepreneurialism. After the story line is set out there follows a very short history of business to convey its scale, ancient origins, and the often under-appreciated sophistication of early markets, especially in finance. The second set of notes sets the stage for our discussion of Ronald Coase’s seminal contribution to the study of firms that describes how entrepreneurs choose to organize and conduct complex activities by combining resources from either the market or through firms. I. Economics: the Delightful Science2 Adam Smith’s monumental 1776 book, The Wealth of Nations is the foundation work of modern economics. Smith changed the way people thought about markets and the creation of economic value. His ideas also changed the intellectual environment within which political and economic theory and policy were debated. Smith, a Scottish professor of moral philosophy, created a coherent discipline based in part on four notions: (a) The beneficial power of self-interest 1 My friend and colleague Jim Mulcahy, also a business economist, has served as a sounding board and contributor to these notes. He has suggested many improvements and corrected my errors.

Need proof? [email protected] The weekly Creative Loafi ng is now being printed monthly. It turns out that “News of the Weird” cannot compete with the weirdness of the news. Maybe that is why our President recently returned the nation to Sesame Street for a game of “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others).” I’m pretty sure even Mr. Noodle wouldn’t be stumped picking the odd man out President’s Message when confronted with Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and George Washington. In these troubled and troubling times, perhaps it is wise to shift our focus to our happy place, our comfort zone, our own Sesame Street. For me that’s our neighborhood. Sure, we may be home to an Oscar the Grouch (Chris Coffee, I’m looking at you), and we may have reason to wonder whether Snuffl eupaGrolsch is as benign as he seems. On the whole, though, things here are pretty good. I am especially comfortable that we as a neighborhood care about one another, mostly play nicely together, and clean up even when we didn’t make the mess.

In line with historic crises and shock events including the 2002-04 SARS outbreak, the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and 2017 Hurricane Irma, COVID-19 has significantly impacted global economic conditions, causing significant economic downturns, company and industry failures, and increased unemployment. To understand how conditions created by the pandemic to date compare to the aforementioned shock events, we conducted a thorough literature review focusing on the presentation of panic buying and herd mentality behaviours, changes to discretionary consumer spending as defined by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the impact of global media on these behaviours. The methodology utilised to analyse panic buying, herd mentality and altered patterns of consumer discretionary spending (according to Maslow’s theory) involved an analysis of consumer spending data, largely focused on Australian and American markets.

  • Fear, Greed, and Financial Crises: a Cognitive Neurosciences Perspective Andrew W
    23 Fear, Greed, and Financial Crises: A Cognitive Neurosciences Perspective Andrew W. Lo Abstract Historical accounts of financial crises suggest that fear and greed are the common denominators of these disruptive events: periods of unchecked greed eventually lead to excessive leverage and unsustainable asset-price levels, and the inevitable collapse results in unbridled fear, which must subside before any recov- ery is possible. The cognitive neurosciences may provide some new insights into this boom/bust pattern through a deeper understanding of the dynamics of emotion and human behavior. In this chapter, I describe some recent research from the neu- rosciences literature on fear and reward learning, mirror neurons, theory of mind, and the link between emotion and rational behavior. By exploring the neuroscien- tific basis of cognition and behavior, we may be able to identify more fundamental drivers of financial crises, and improve our models and methods for dealing with them. 23.1 Introduction In March 1933, unemployment in the United States was at an all-time high. Over 4,000 banks had failed during the previous two months. Bread lines stretched around entire blocks in the largest cities. The country was in the grip of the Great Depression. This was the context in which Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his first inaugural address to the American people as the 32nd president of the United States. He began his address not by discussing economic conditions, nor by laying out his proposal for the “New Deal”, but with a powerful observation that still resonates today: “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance”.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
