"Professor Henry G. Manne is one of the founding scholars of the influential discipline of law and economics, as well as founder of the Law and Economics Center at George Mason University and dean emeritus of the George Mason School of Law. Among the first to apply economic analysis to concepts of corporations and corporate law, Manne developed a comprehensive theory of the modern corporation that has provided a framework for legal, economic, and financial analysis of the corporate firm for more than forty years. The works in this three-volume collection, selected by Professor Fred S. McChesney of the Northwestern University School of Law and introduced by leading academics in the field, span nearly half a century of Manne scholarship. Each volume covers a different aspect of Henry Manne's large body of scholarly works. Volume 1, The Economics of Corporations and Corporate Law, includes Manne's seminal writings on corporate law and economics. Manne's theory of the market for corporation control revolutionized thinking about the nature of corporations and the shareholder-corporation relationship. Challenging the accepted wisdom of his time, Manne insisted that market forces could help constrain corporate managers to act in shareholders' interests. Volume 2, Insider Trading, gives not only a retrospective on Manne's innovative contributions to insider trading but also a context for understanding the complex world of corporate law and securities regulation. Manne's proposal to deregulate insider trading shocked the academy and forced a reevaluation of long-held views on the subject. The works included here, which range from scholarly papers to newspaper columns, span forty years and demonstrate the evolution of his understanding of insider trading. Volume 3, Liberty and Freedom in the Economic Ordering of Society, explores Manne's philosophy on corporate social responsibility in modern society and his views on corporate philanthropy. This volume also contains works on the regulation of capital markets and securities offerings; the role of the law school in the modern university; and the relationships between law, regulation, and the free market." -- Back cover.

The Method of Freedom was written at a time of deep anxiety for America and Europe. The worst depression in modem history gripped the world and the rise of dictatorships in Europe and Asia posed a mortal challenge to the essentials of free government. In this volume of a continuing series on the major works of Walter Lippmann, a model for economic recovery and social stability is outlined under a "regime of liberty." Lippmann's work takes on a special pertinence in the 1990s as the nations of Eastern Europe embark on the historically unprecedented transition from Communist centralization to democracy and free market economies. Rejecting both laissez-faire and centrally enforced collectivization, Lippmann described the salutory economic functions of a government with a mandate that rested on the consent of a middle-class constituency, which he termed a "free collectivism." Capitalism, in his view, had become too complex to be regulated by private initiative, and it became the function of government to ensure a compensatory redistribution of income and property in order to make its citizens comfortably secure. Lippmann recognized that market regulation needed to be safeguarded from political demagoguery and the tyranny of the majority. "The Method of Freedom "calls for the formation of an informed and competent managerial class to direct economic policy within the bounds of legislative consent. Lippmann's effort to balance the competing claims of capitalism and democracy anticipated the New Deal achievements of the 1930s and influenced a generation of American statesmen in their understanding of what constituted a good society. "The Method of Freedom "is a work of enduring interest

America’s founders thought the right to earn a living was so basic and obvious that it didn’t need to be mentioned in the Bill of Rights. The Right to Earn a Living charts the history of this fundamental human right, from the constitutional system that was designed to protect it by limiting government’s powers, to the Civil War Amendments that expanded protection to all Americans, regardless of race.

Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. APPLICATIONS. DEGREESPHE principles asserted in these pages must be -*- more generally admitted as the basis for discussion of details, before a consistent application of them to all the various departments of government and morals can be attempted with any prospect of advantage. The few observations I propose to make on questions of detail, are designed to illustrate the principles, rather than to follow them out to their consequences. I offer, not so much applications, as specimens of application; which may serve to bring into greater clearness the meaning and limits of the two maxims which together form the entire doctrine of this Essay, and to assist the judgment in holding the balance between them, in the cases where it appears doubtful which of them is applicable to the case. The maxims are, first, that the individual is not accountable to society for his actions, in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself. Advice, instruction, persuasion, and avoidance by other people if thought necessary by them for their own good, are the only measures by which society can justifiably express its dislike or disapprobation of his conduct. Secondly, that for such actions as are prejudicial to the interests of others, the individual is accountable, and may be subjected either to social or to legal punishment, if society is of opinion that the one or Ihe other is requisite for its protection. In the first place, it must by no means be supposed, because damage, or probability of damage, to the interests of others, can alone justify the interference of society, that therefore it always does justify such interference. In many cases, an individual, in pursuing a legitimate object, necessarily and therefore legitimately cau
