“权利资本”初论--“人的发展经济学”有待回答的一个论题

文章首先对法学领域的权利概念进行简单梳理；接着分析了亚当·斯密等经济学家的经济理论，在他们的理论中，“权利”具有资本的属性，因而本文引出了“权利资本”的概念；最后，通过研究得出结论：“权利资本”不但是社会资本的基本内核，而且是人的发展的重要维度。     

BANKRUPTCY, THE CREDIT CARD AND AMERICAN FREEDOM

Over the past 30 years, the USA has enhanced economic freedom in a paradigmatic way. This was accomplished through its unique 1978 bankruptcy law legislation, which itself had been necessitated by the previous over-use of the credit card. Curiously, this expansion of economic freedom is reminiscent of some nineteenth-century calls for social justice.     

Augustinian Moral Consciousness and the Businessman

Augustine of Hippo (354–430 A.D.) meditated on the transcendent attributes of numbers that accountants so skillfully employ and on the attributes of moral rules. He thereby achieved a profound awareness of their Source in Truth. Nature is also governed by numbers; it is a “melody” that, again, woos one to its Source in Beauty. Whereas some businessmen meditate to clear their minds of clutter so as to make successful business decisions, Augustine persisted beyond the mere absence of clutter. Within the stream of his own consciousness he found a focal point that led to the experience of the presence of a transcendent God in his own deeper self. The “order of love” enables one to achieve balance and a higher freedom wherein one cannot do wrong and possesses the courage to work toward building an earthly city that is just and beautiful, one that facilitates Everyman’s penetration of his own depth. Grace Natoli received her Master’s degree and Doctorate from Fordham University, having written dissertations on Augustine the Stoic and on The Actualism of Giovanni Gentile. A recipient of Fulbright and Italian government grants, she studied at the University of Genoa with Michele Sciacca, who was strongly influenced by Augustine. She studied the subjective idealism of Gentile and the objective idealism of Antonio Rosmini and of Sciacca. She is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Philosophy at St. John’s University in Jamaica, New York.     

论市场经济与法制下的出版自由

出版的自由是法律允许下的自由,出版的不自由也是法律所不允许的自由.在市场经济体制下,政府对出版的宏观管理并不是放任自流,而是用法律、法规规范出版市场.要获得社会主义制度下的出版自由,就必须加强民主、法制,就必须完善社会主义市场经济,坚决打击盗版侵权、宣扬色情暴力、泄露机密危害国家安全的违法现象,如此方能保障我国出版事业在公平有序的市场竞争中健康发展.     

美、中宪法人身自由保障比较研究

美、中两国宪法文本对人身自由规定以及两国人身自由保障的宪政实践各不相同。通过对美、中两国人身自由宪法保障的比较研究,以期对我国宪法人身自由保障有所借鉴。     

束缚与自由

本文从哲学和文学的双重角度,探讨束缚与自由这一对既相互矛盾又相互依存的概念。从哲学上讲,世界具有对立统一的性质。自由的存在,也就必然有其对立的另一面。自由要受到束缚的制约,束缚又给了自由的真正自由。从文学的角度探讨人如何在规则束缚下发挥最大的自由。     

从艳照门看新闻自由与社会责任的冲撞

艳照门事件中，明星们私生活的不检点影响了他们自己的公众形象，但艳照门被传媒的放大，却更让人有必要探究媒体传播的价值取向。在强调新闻自由的时候更不能忘记媒体的社会责任。传媒的自由和责任，在本质上是一致的，是不可分割的。如果两者不能统一，首先必须考虑的是：新闻自由是否已经超出了应负社会责任的范围及界限。大众传播机构同样也是一种教育工具，它产生的力量或许是最大的，因此它们更必须在陈述和阐明本共同体为之奋斗的理想中，承担起教育者的责任。     

经济新闻自由度与资本市场的有效性

从金融经济学"效率市场假说"的理论与实证研究结果角度分析经济新闻自由对于金融市场发展的影响后认为,经济新闻自由是实现效率市场的宏观机制之一;只有充分的经济新闻自由,信息才能迅速而充分地扩散到市场,并被包括到资产的价格中,从而实现效率市场,促进资本市场的发展。利用世界银行各国股市市值数据与"自由之家"对各国新闻自由度的评定数据进行的统计分析表明,经济新闻自由与股市市值之间具有显著的正相关性。     

公共产权与农村集体产权渐进性制度创新

公共产权在市场经济中普遍存在,农村集体产权在中国转型经济中也在不断演化,公共产权与集体产权不同而又有密切联系.具体的制度环境对具体产权形式选择的成本一收益权衡规定着现实经济中集体产权或公共产权的存在及其演变.农村现有集体产权在既有的环境中的自然演化有利于转型经济的和谐稳定发展.
