Property Rights and Eminent Domain

By: Ellen Frankel Paul

In a country built on the institution of private property, property-owner rights have been under attack. By arguing that private property is a fundamental liberty whose protection deserves the highest priority, Ellen Frankel Paul challenges one of the dominant trends of the past half century: the erosion of property rights via zoning and land use restrictions, carried on by government exercising its "police power" or promoting "the public interest." Paul begins by examining the arguments of environmentalists in support of land-use legislation, and explores a few particularly troubling examples of the exercise of eminent domain and police powers. She traces the philosophical arguments for the two powers as well as their tortuous judicial history, the meaning of property rights and investigates how previous thinkers have defended these rights is detailed, and Paul suggests a more adequate defense for them. In the concluding portion of the book, the very legitimacy of eminent domain is questioned and the author offers recommendations for its reform. This analysis is wide in scope and makes creative use of historical, legal, economic, and philosophic methodologies. It not only gives an account of the present power regulations on land, but also provides an exhaustive history of the development of the law in these two areas and of the philosophical ideas of the thinkers who helped shape this process. This book is distinctive because it places a theory of the just acquisition of property at the heart of the answer to the question of the extent to which governments can rightfully exercise the powers of eminent domain and police. "Amazingly, in a country built on the institution of private property, the right to property in land has been under increasing assault, and has seldom been defended. Paul's book--by arguing that private property is a fundamental liberty whose protection deserves the highest priority--is a major step toward filling the void."--Robert Hessen, Stanford University

Equity and Gender

By: Ellen Frankel Paul

Comparable worth-the idea that women ought to be paid the same wages as men performing comparable although not the same jobs-has generated a firestorm of controversy. This analysis of the comparable worth debate takes up its pros and cons in an extraordinarily disciplined and fair-minded manner. After outlining the debate, Paul attempts to resolve

Studies Of The Third Wave

Recent Soviet Jewish Immigration To The United States

By: Dan A Jacobs,Ellen F Paul

During the 1970s the Soviet Union allowed large numbers of its citizens to emigrate, the first major group allowed to leave in five decades. The number of emigres peaked in 1979, with 50,000 persons leaving the USSR—most of them Soviet Jews, most of them bound for the United States. This book studies this most recent of three major influxes of Soviet Jews into the United States. Using case studies based on six major cities, it considers where the immigrants came from, why they came, how they feel about the Soviet regime and people, what their occupations were in the USSR, and how they are adjusting to social and professional life in the United States. Their responses are compared with those of earlier immigrants to draw conclusions about the role the "third wave" may play in U.S. life. The interviews also shed light on current political, social, and economic conditions in the Soviet Union.

The I Hate My Job Handbook

How to Deal with Hell at Work

By: Ellen Tien,Valerie Frankel

Does the very mention of your boss's name make your left eye twitch uncontrollably? Does the clock seem to move with the speed of Continental Drift between the hours of 9 to 5? Do your friends and family put their hands over their ears and sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" whenever you start to complain about office anger? If you answered yes to any of the above, then you are a charter member of the I-hate-my-job club." "But before you punch yourself out, be assured that there are ways to lower your work-misery index. With the help of two or three (hundred) war-scarred employees and numerous career experts, authors Ellen Tien and Valerie Frankel deliver you from office hell. You'll find practical guidelines and ingenious strategies to lessen the pain and lighten the load, including: How to deal with your fearful leader - the seven most common (not to mention frustrating) managerial types, from "Mr. Right-and-Don't-You-Forget-It" to "Sybil;" The smartest ways to play office politics without feeling like a total sleaze - plugging into the grapevine, persuading your colleagues to dish, kissing up without losing your lunch; Quizzes, surveys, and clever ploys for the corporately challenged to get you through the daily grind; and a blueprint to engineering your own firing, complete with a tidy severance package and a glowing recommendation letter - no kidding!" "Plus true tales of sweet revenge! Just desserts are right around the corner...."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
