章節(jié)摘錄
Under the income-plus-estate tax, Perot paid no taxes on account of this largesse; indeed, he saved his estate more than $30 million in taxes - present consumption being the surest way to avoid an estate tax. Under the Modest Proposal, in order to spend $60 million on himself, Perot would have had to pay nearly $140 null ion to the collective fist. B. A parallel objection looks to the power that wealth-holders might have by virtue of investment decisions and control over the Trust Accounts. Once again, however, the objection sits poorly with a revised conception of owner- ship, one without a right to waste. Under the Modest Proposal, savers will be hemmed in by a general fiduciary duty much like the pedant investor rule that any trustee must follow. Society need not micro-manage or engage in overly specific regulation of Trust Account holders. A sensible diversification rule -the kinds of policies already in place for regulating large endowments, banks, and mutual funds, as well as pension plan and IRA investments - is quite sufficient. This further implements an ant waste norm. The reasonable society can control and contain the power of the capitalist class to influence policy and politics via its expenditure decisions - in fact, the Modest Proposal gives us a means of serving this reasonable political end that modern institutional theory otherwise altogether lacks. At a minimum, the laws can prolixity lobbying or running for office out of Trust Account funds, as it does now for nonprofit sector monies. Once again, we can understand this feature as following from the systematic decision to monitor the use of resources - to abrogate the private right to waste. Under the Modest Proposal and a life estate conception of ownership, the wealthy cannot be motivated by narrow decadent pleasures nor by a quest for excessive power. They must be motivated, instead, by a sense of "natural duty," a pride in their accomplishments, a desire to provide a fund for the urgent needs of their family and their posterity, and to do well by us all. They must, that is, serve as allies, not enemies, to the reasonably pluralist society of which they are members. C. A final version of the standard liberal objection relates to the social problem of iteration over time. A plausible interpretation of the relevant aspects of Rawls's theory and the political liberal project is this: The task of justice as fairness - of the reasonable society -is to set up the fair terms and conditions of background justice. Once these are in place, in part to avoid the problems of placing an overly restrictive moral psychology or sense of individual duty on its citizens, a reasonable society will sit back and allow citizens to engage in trade, transactions, and the voluntary contributions to cooperative enterprises. But the net result of these voluntary transactions, when repeated over tim. ……

* Contains original contributions from some of the most eminent scholars in the field * Covers a broad range of topics such as inheritance, intellectual property, critical legal studies, and property institutions * Will be of interest to professionals and students of philosophy, law, social policy, and political theory There has always been much controversy surrounding property rights in legal and political philosophy. Thinkers such as Plato, Locke, Kant, Hegel and Marx have all offered different views on the idea of property. This collection of new essays, written by some of the most eminent scholars in the field, examines the most central issues of property theory using markedly different techniques and perspectives, The essays discuss whether property may be dissipated or used imprudently with impunity and analyze how a person's property should be distributed after death. They survey the current economic landscape of intellectual property and show that Locke's celebrated justification for private property falters when it comes to copyrights and patents. They also demonstrate how important it is that institutions of property be carefully justified. The variety and originality of these essays are evidence that the theory of property is now one of the most exciting areas of intellectual inquiry in the humanities and social sciences. This volume will be of interest to professionals and students of philosophy, law, social policy, and political theory.
