Economic Analysis of Property Rights
The standard neoclassical model of economics is incapable of explaining why one form of organization arises over another.It is a model where transaction costs are implicitly assumed to not exist; however, transaction costs are here defined as the costs of strengthening a given distribution of economic property rights, and they always exist.Economic Analysis of Property Rights is a study of how individuals organise resources to maximise the value of their economic rights over these resources.It offers a unified theoretical structure to deal with exchange, rights formation, and organisation that traditional economic theory often ignores.It explains how transaction costs can be reduced through reorganization and, in the end, how the distribution of property rights that exists is the one that maximizes wealth net of these transaction costs. This necessary hypothesis explains much of the puzzling organizations and institutions that exist now and have existed in the past.

An Analysis of Thomas Paine's Rights of Man
Thomas Paine’s 1791 Rights of Man is an impassioned political tract showing how the critical thinking skills of evaluation and reasoning can, and must, be applied to contentious issues.Divided into two parts, Rights of Man is, first, a response to Edmund Burke’s arguments against the French Revolution, put forward in his Reflections on the Revolution in France – also available in the Macat Library – and, second, an argument for how to run a fair and just society.The first part is a sustained performance in evaluation: Paine takes Burke’s arguments, and systematically exposes the ways in which Burke’s reasons against revolution are inadequate compared to the necessity of having a just society run according to a universal notion of people’s rights as individuals.The second part turns to an examination of different political systems, setting out a powerfully-structured argument for universal rights, a clear constitution enshrined in law, and a universal right to vote.Though Paine is in many ways a stronger rhetorician than he is a clear thinker, his reasons for preferring democracy to hereditary forms of government are compelling, coherent and clear.Rights of Man is a masterclass in how to use good reasoning to present a persuasive argument.

How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.

Are rights cruel?
Rights themselves are not inherently cruel. In fact, they are designed to protect individuals from cruelty and ensure their well-being. However, the way in which rights are upheld or violated by individuals or institutions can certainly be cruel. When rights are denied or abused, it can lead to suffering and injustice. Therefore, the concept of rights is not cruel, but the actions of those who violate or ignore them can be.

Citizen Rights, Migrant Rights and Civic Stratification
This book explores the concept of civic stratification and examines its contemporary relevance for analysis and understanding of the functioning of rights in society. David Lockwood’s (1996) concept of civic stratification outlines the way in which the rights associated with citizenship can be a source of inequality by virtue of their formal granting or denial by the state, or by informal impediments to their full realisation.The purpose of this book is to explore the meaning and significance of this concept, and elaborate its potential in offering a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of rights.Lockwood’s model reverses Marshall’s (1950) view of citizenship as guaranteed inclusion in society and is linked to the way that the differential entitlement and the qualifying conditions associated with certain rights can be harnessed as a means of control.While both Marshall and Lockwood were principally concerned with the rights attaching to citizenship, this book extends the insights of these two authors to show how such controls apply in various ways to both citizens and non-citizens alike.Building on Lockwood’s conception of ‘moral resources’ the book set out a theoretical framework and empirical illustration of how the position of different groups within society is subject to shifting perceptions of social worth and is engaged both in claims to fuller access to rights and in justifications of their denial or removal. This book will appeal to scholars and higher-level students with relevant interests in sociolegal studies, sociology, social policy and politics.
