Wilson, Sean, 1967-. The flexible constitution. Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2013, xxv, 209pp., very good hardcover with printed covers BUT NOTE: publisher's printing errors "a spacing (kerning) flaw", in chapter 13, with print-out of the corrected pages laid in along with explanation, I can't even see the problem. "This is an ambitious work on constitutional theory. Influenced by the views of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sean Wilson tackles the problem of how a judge can obey a document written in ordinary, flexible language. He argues that whether something is 'constitutional' is not an historical fact, but is an artisan judgment. Criteria are set forth showing why some judgments represent superior connoisseurship and why others do not. Along the way, Wilson offers a potent critique of originalism. He not only explains this belief system, but shows why it is inherently incompatible with the American legal system. His conclusion is that originalism can only be understood as a legal ideology, not a meaningful contribution to philosophy of law. The ways of thinking about constitutional interpretation provided in the book end up challenging the scholarship of Ronald Dworkin and numerous law professors. And the findings also challenge the way that professors of politics often think about whether a judge has 'followed law'"- CONTENTS: Wittgenstein, law and originalism -- Obeying flexible commands -- Is there a fixed meaning? -- Public meaning v. meaning as use -- The flexible constitution -- Structuralism and polysemy -- Law as connoisseur judgment -- The philosophy of Framers' intent -- Why Framers' intent is flawed -- The new originalism -- The Constitution as old society -- Cultural construction -- What originalism really is -- Appendix.

Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); no dj; overall a nice used copy! Black and white and illustrated boards with green and white lettering. 145 historical and informative pages! "Stephen Kershnar's take on torture is unique for four reasons. First, it provides a distinct analysis of what torture is. Second, it argues that on non-consequentialist grounds, specifically rights-based ones, torture is sometimes permissible. Third, it argues that torturers are not always vicious. Fourth, it argues that it is plausible that these conclusions apply to some real world cases. In short, it fills the following gap: it evaluates torture from a rights-based perspective and finds that in some cases it is permissible. Kershnar's moral evaluation of torture sharply differs from the rest of the literature. The evaluation focuses on the non-consequentialist approach to morality, that is, it assumes that what makes an action right is not solely whether it brings about the best results. Using the central feature of non-consequentialism, moral rights, Kershnar argues that torture is justified in a number of theoretical contexts, including defense, punishment, and when the person to be tortured consents. He then looks at the actual world and argue that it is plausible to think that there are real-world cases where torture is justified. Kershnar's analysis also looks at whether torture is virtuous in an attempt to get at what intuitively repels us about torture. His analysis is not only the first look at the issue, but it also ties in with recent developments in virtue theory. As in the analysis of the permissibility of torture, he tries to show that my findings with regard to virtue are not merely of theoretical interest, but are plausible given some real-world cases.".

"Tax incentives are a mainstay of state and local economic development strategies and have been so for decades. Evaluations of their effectiveness have provided mixed results and few recommendations that have been translated into actual policy modifications. Since the mid-1970s, the State of Michigan has allowed local governments to grant substantial property tax abatements for new investments in real and personal industrial property. The program has been extremely popular, with more than 400 different municipalities granting a total of over 17,000 abatements. Despite its prominence, the program has been subject to only limited analysis at either the State or local level. This book systematically evaluates several different dimensions of industrial property tax abatements: The book utilizes a number of analytical techniques, including GIS, regression, factor, and shift-share analyses. While the data are drawn from a single state, they represent the complete history of the tax abatement program in a state that has allowed widespread use of local tax incentives. Thus, findings about the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of local industrial tax abatements are applicable to local and state governments across the country. Further, findings about tax abatements are instructive for most financial or tax incentive schemes.".
