Book Description
The Bank Charter Act. [A Dialogue.]
A Few Reasons for the immediate re-consideration of the Bank Charter Act of 1844, etc
Constitutional Dialogues
Author: Louis Fisher
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400859573
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Who makes constitutional law? Is constitutional doctrine the monopoly of the courts? In accessible and persuasive prose Louis Fisher explains that constitutional law is not solely or even primarily the Supreme Court's "final word" but rather a richly political convergence of separate interpretations. With a broad range of examples, he argues that constitutional principles emerge from a dialogue among all three branches of government--executive, legislative, and judicial. Important contributions also come from the states and the general public. Fisher identifies executive and legislative initiatives in many areas of constitutional significance. Where there is litigation, the Court generally upholds these initiatives or may avoid making a constitutional decision by using "threshold devices." On those rare occasions when the Supreme Court exercises judicial review and strikes down a presidential or congressional action, it is usually only a matter of time before the proposal is revived and the dialogue begins again. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Literature and Money
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004656464
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
At a time when the dull rationality of the money calculus seems to be making ground in every sphere, it is perhaps opportune to reopen the question of literature and its relations with a rationality defined according to the logic of economic exchange: what kinds of value flow from such a rationality and what possibilities of resistance are there if we happen not to like the model and its more rebarbative ideological implications? Historically, attempts to reduce the richness of human exchange to utilitarian or economic paradigms have met with counter-cultural expressions of dissent and defiance. And yet the search for an 'authentic community' outside the reifications and repressions of economic exchange presents its own ambiguities and pitfalls, since the attempt to ground value in other spheres can function ideologically to secure and legitimize the very values it seeks to oppose. This is especially true in literature and other expressions of high culture, where mobilizations of the aesthetic (or the textual) as a site of resistance to economic hegemony are frequently recuperated in advance by the dominant discourse. The essays collected here tend, then, to explore in various ways, not only the ideological implications of literary (or more broadly cultural) representations or constructions of economic exchange, but also the often complex mediations that such constructions enter into with different kinds of oppositional discourse.
