构建公平正义的社会利益新格局

改革开放以来我国社会的利益格局呈现出许多新变化,贫富差距、城乡差距扩大、人民内部矛盾上升等不和谐的社会问题,制约了现阶段我国和谐社会的构建和社会公平正义的实现。为此可以从调整改革收入分配制度、改善民生、完善民主法治等方面构建社会利益新格局,为实现公平正义奠定坚实的基础。     

W. H. Hutt (1899–1988): Free Markets and Social Justice

W.H. Hutt reaffirmed the principles of classical economics and classical liberalism and, by applying them to urgent issues he observed in the world around him, he demonstrated the contemporary relevance of freedom and competitive institutions. A wide‐ranging critique of Keynes was founded upon a classical analysis of the labour market, while his trenchant opposition to apartheid advanced along economic and political paths. Hutt questioned the justice of the accumulation of wealth from the exploitation of monopoly power over generations. In all of these respects there are affinities between Hutt's thought and that of ‘Bleeding Heart Libertarians’.     

沃尔泽的复合平等之梦与中国的收入分配改革

人类对物质消费的本能及其本身所具有的差异以及物品的社会意义的多样性与抽象性导致简单平等的美梦难以变成现实。复合平等是优越于简单平等的另一种平等梦想。实现复合平等的关键在于自主分配，而确保自主分配的前提是承认差别和捍卫边界。垄断与支配是两个不同的概念，实现复合平等需要消除支配但不需要消除垄断。沃尔泽的复合平等理论对当前中国推进收入分配制度改革具有重要启示，有助于“中国梦”的早日实现。     

论和谐社会的道德选择

和谐是矛盾的对立统一,和谐社会是矛盾对立的双方或多方有机统一的社会,必将是处于一种有序状态的社会。和谐社会的道德选择是当前亟待解决的重要伦理课题之一,伦理学理应给予人们进行正确的道德选择提供有益的帮助。     

困境与回应：罗尔斯对“原初状态”理论的修正

＂原初状态＂理论既是罗尔斯正义理论的逻辑起点,又是罗尔斯正义原则的论证方法,其要素包括选项预设、信息预设、主体预设、环境预设、心理预设五个方面。虽然罗尔斯的正义理论行文结构严谨,论证审慎小心,结论豁达易行,但他的＂原初状态＂理论同样受到＂社群主义＂和＂自由主义＂的批判。前者批评的焦点集中在契约各方——主体的假设上,后者则集中在社会合作必要性、可能性和利益性方面。出于对以上批评的回应,罗尔斯对＂原初状态＂理论的三个方面即理论适用范围、社会特征、契约主体作了认真的修正,以期进一步增强理论的说服力。     

对电子商务商业方法可专利性的法理学思考

电子商务商业方法的传统保护方式存在明显不足,各主要发达国家顺应实践发展需要,相继调整其专利政策将电子商务商业方法纳入专利保护领域。但是反对授予商业方法专利的观点依然颇多。电子商务商业方法是否具有可专利性在理论与实践的层面上都具有讨论价值。从总收益与总成本的比较看,发达国家授予商业方法专利是有效率的。但是在授予商业方法专利的同时,各国立法需要平衡各种利益,需要注重维护公有领域,以实现法律所追求的公平、正义价值目标。     

和谐理念下的中国古代民事审级制度

虽然中国古代司法隶属于行政，重刑轻民，民事案件基层自理，但在宇宙和谐理念的指导下，基于中央集权的需要，皇帝作为最高审判者，确立了逐级上诉、无限审级的完备的民事审级制度。和谐理念下的古代民事审级制度对完善中国现行的审级制度具有一定的借鉴意义。在设立审级制度时必须考虑到中国的经济体制，司法独立状况以及社会的整体环境。     

Personalist Economics: Moral Convictions,Economic Realities,And Social Action

We examine the relationship between the administrative enforcement of environmental regulation, ethnic heterogeneity, and other community characteristics in New Jersey and New York. We find that the percentage of non-white population in a community is positively related with administrative penalties imposed on violators. However, penalties are lower in more ethnically diverse communities. This result may be due to the fact that these communities are less likely to coordinate to create solidarity across ethnic groups and demand stronger enforcement.     

Making tax and social security decisions: lean and deskilling in the UK Civil Service

Lean working has had a significant impact on the work skills of civil servants. This study examines the impact of lean specifically focusing on ‘decision‐makers’, those civil servants engaged in deciding tax and social security claims. Using qualitative data from trade union members and stewards in two major government departments, this study found significant evidence of deskilling often in the face of dealing with potentially complex legal and factual issues. Using Mashaw's framework of administrative justice, the article argues that management's use of lean was evidence of an accelerated shift to a managerial model of administering tax and benefits where the administrative processes of decision‐making become paramount at the expense of the quality of the decisions made.
