Adventures of an \u27itinerant institutor\u27 : the life and philanthropy of Thomas Bernard

Sir Thomas Bernard founded, directed, or subscribed to more than twenty associated charities. His most famous brainchild, the Society for Bettering the Condition of the Poor, became a national clearance house for charitable plans, public health measures, and employment or educational schemes from all over Britain. Simultaneously Bernard, as a Buckinghamshire magistrate, instituted administrative changes to foster independence and moral restraint among relief recipients. On a few issues, including vaccination and fever hospitals, Bernard appealed directly to parliamentary for financial support; or, as with the excise on salt, he spearheaded a campaign for a parliamentary repeal. This study examines Bernard’s life and work as part of a general response to the social and economic cruises born of British industrialization coupled with war against revolutionary France

A Portfolio Approach to Policymaking Uncertainty

This article examines a basic dilemma that appears across nearly all areas of the law: what is the appropriate regulatory response to uncertainty in the policymaking environment, where the costs, benefits, and other consequences of any particular legal intervention are difficult to predict, and often equally difficult to measure after the fact? Although a vast theoretical literature addresses that question, the existing scholarship almost uniformly seeks to identify a single policy rule or procedure that is most robust to uncertainty. This article takes a fundamentally different approach. By drawing on the leading theory of financial investment under uncertainty-Modern Portfolio Theory-it argues that the primary normative implication of an unpredictable legal landscape is that policymakers should apply a portfolio of overlapping rules. As this article further shows, insights from Modern Portfolio Theory do not only provide normative guidance on how the regulatory structure can account for legal uncertainty; They also explain how the law does in fact address that problem. This second, positive claim helps resolve an empirical puzzle that has long been debated among law-and-economics scholars: why is the joint use of multiple regulations so often found in contexts where a single rule would appear to suffice? The answer, it is argued, is that the widespread use of overlapping regulatory portfolios is an efficient response to the equally widespread problem of policymaking uncertainty. After laying out these theoretical claims, this article provides supporting evidence from a variety of legal areas, including: safety regulations in accident law; the financial regulation of banking crises; and, environmental law on climate change. The case studies demonstrate the flexibility of Modern Portfolio Theory to questions of regulatory design in general. Although the policy challenges posed by automobile traffic, financial crises, and climate change are essentially unrelated, the legal framework governing each of those areas implicitly reflects a portfolio approach.

Postsouthern cartographies: capital, land and place from 'The Moviegoer' to 'A man in full'

This thesis takes a historical-geographical materialist approach to the capitalist production and literary representation of "place" in the American South between the 1960s and 1990s. Part 1 provides literary-historical and theoretical context. Chapter 1 considers how the Agrarians and their literary critical acolytes defined the "sense of place" of "Southern literature." However, the chapter also recovers an aspect of Agrarianism suppressed by later Southern literary critics: the critique of modern (finance) capitalist abstraction expressed through the Agrarians' "proprietary ideal." Drawing also on postmodern theory, Chapter 2 theorises a postsouthern literary theory of place. Part 2 analyses the "postsouthern turn" in novels by Robert Penn Warren, Walker Percy and Richard Ford. Chapter 3 argues that, in A Place to Come to (1977), Warren interrogates his earlier Agrarian aesthetics of place. In Percy's The Moviegoer (1961), land speculator Binx Bolling constructs a rhetorical contrast between "the South" and "the North" to repress his fear that capitalist development is destroying New Orleans and its environs. Chapters 4 to 6 argue that, in A Piece of My Heart (1976), The Sportswriter (1986) and Independence Day (1995), Ford has offered the most sustained and sophisticated critique of the Southern literary critical "sense of place." Part 3 focuses uses upon recent literary representations of Atlanta. Chapter 7 provides a contextual assessment of Atlanta's "non-place" in "Southern literature" and its development as a postsouthern "international city." Chapter 8 considers the representational politics of "creative destruction" in Anne Rivers Siddons' Peachtree Road (1988). Chapter 9 considers the role of land speculation, global capital flows and finance capitalist abstraction in Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full (1998). The final chapter demonstrates how Toni Cade Bambara's novel about the Atlanta Child Murders, Those Bones Are Not My Child (1999), indicts capitalist abstraction through a grotesque body politics of place

Learned Hand's Court

Originally published in 1970. This is a study of one of the most highly respected tribunals in the history of the English-speaking world—the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Situated in Manhattan, the Second Circuit Court, serving New York, Connecticut, and Vermont, is the most important commercial court in the country. But, like other inferior courts, it has never been studied in depth. Marvin Schick provides a comprehensive analysis. From 1941 to 1951, Learned Hand presided over the Second Circuit as chief judge, and the court bore his stamp. But on its bench sat other men of great competence, judges Thomas W. Swan, August N. Hand, and Harrie B. Chase, as well as Charles E. Clark and Jerome N. Frank, whose constant disagreement characterized much of the court's work. Schick studies the Second Circuit Court from several angles: historical, biographical, behavioral, and case analytical. He tells a history of the court from its origins in 1789. He provides biographical sketches of the six judges who sat during Learned Hand's tenure as chief judge. He analyzes the many decisions handed down by the court, including the precedent setters. He examines the court's decision-making process, especially its unique procedures such as the memorandum system, which requires from the judges "preliminary opinions" in the cases they hear. A novel feature of this book is the correlation of votes of the Second Circuit judges with subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court.Schick was aided in his study by having access to the private papers of Judge Clark. These thousands of memoranda and letters throw much light on the workings of the Second Circuit Court and reveal the bargaining that went on among the judges in difficult cases. The Clark papers make possible a clearer understanding of the incessant conflict between Clark and Frank and show how this unusual relationship gave vitality to the Second Circuit
