Beyond Politics The Roots of Government Failure

Beyond Politics The Roots of Government Failure
Randy T. Simmons, Gordon Tullock, "Beyond Politics: The Roots of Government Failure"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1598130420, 1598130501 | EPUB | pages: 384 | 0.8 mb
Providing students of economics, politics, and policy with a concise explanation of public choice, markets, property, and political and economic processes, this record identifies what kinds of actions are beyond the ability of government. Combining public choice with studies of the value of property rights, markets, and institutions, this account produces a much different picture of modern political economy than the one accepted by mainstream political scientists and welfare economists. It demonstrates that when citizens request that their governments do more than it is possible, net benefits are reduced, costs are increased, and wealth and freedom are diminished. Solutions are also suggested with the goal to improve the lot of those who should be the ultimate sovereigns in a democracy: the citizens.

Finding a good job is the best way to quickly transform one's life. That's especially true for ex-offenders with red flags in their backgrounds. Knowing employers are reluctant to hire them, many ex-cons face rejections and lose hope. Indeed, lacking job search smarts - from properly writing resumes, networking for job leads, and acing job interviews - many go from one dead end job to another . . . and then back to prison. For many, their odorous rap sheet becomes their resume!

An Introduction to Formal Logic

An Introduction to Formal Logic
Peter Smith, "An Introduction to Formal Logic"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1108411398, 1108420060 | PDF | pages: 428 | 1.7 mb
Formal logic provides us with a powerful set of techniques for criticizing some arguments and showing others to be valid. These techniques are relevant to all of us with an interest in being skilful and accurate reasoners. In this very accessible book, extensively revised and rewritten for the second edition, Peter Smith presents a guide to the fundamental aims and basic elements of formal logic. He introduces the reader to the languages of propositional and predicate logic, and develops natural deduction systems for evaluating arguments translated into these languages. His discussion is richly illustrated with worked examples and exercises, and alongside the formal work there is illuminating philosophical commentary. This book will make an ideal text for a first logic course and will provide a firm basis for further work in formal and philosophical logic.
