The main axes of analysis are the economic, technical and institutional aspects of the industry in relation to the wider international context of shipping and trade. Based on unpublished archival sources, multi-language secondary literature and the employment of interdisciplinary theoretical tools Apostolos Delis not only highlights the national and international significance of Syros? shipbuilding industry, but also contributes novel material to our knowledge of wooden shipbuilding in the Mediterranean. 410 0$aBrill's studies in maritime history ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aShipbuilding industry$zGreece$zSyros$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aShips, Wooden$zGreece$zSyros$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aShips, Wooden$zGreece$zSyros$xDesign and construction 606 $aSailing ships$zGreece$zSyros$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aShipyards$zGreece$zSyros$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aHermoupolis (Greece)$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aSyros Island (Greece)$xHistory, Naval$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aShipbuilding industry$xHistory 615 0$aShips, Wooden$xHistory 615 0$aShips, Wooden$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aSailing ships$xHistory 615 0$aShipyards$xHistory 676 $a623.8207 700 $aDelis$b Apostolos$01067700 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511639403321 996 $aMediterranean wooden shipbuilding$92551763 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07462nam 2201765Ia 450 001 9910781461303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-16898-7 010 $a9786613168986 010 $a1-4008-3889-4 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400838899 035 $a(CKB)2550000000040888 035 $a(EBL)736906 035 $a(OCoLC)742333365 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000526298 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11371465 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000526298 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10518983 035 $a(PQKB)10344798 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000406788 035 $a(OCoLC)744333838 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse36947 035 $a(DE-B1597)446605 035 $a(OCoLC)979685852 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400838899 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL736906 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10484250 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL316898 035 $a(PPN)170253236 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC736906 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000040888 100 $a20110127d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe tyranny of utility$b[electronic resource] $ebehavioral social science and the rise of paternalism /$fGilles Saint-Paul 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton $cPrinceton University Press$dc2011 215 $a1 online resource (174 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-691-12817-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $t Frontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIntroduction -- $tPart I.

Where to Go? -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aThe general assumption that social policy should be utilitarian--that society should be organized to yield the greatest level of welfare--leads inexorably to increased government interventions. Historically, however, the science of economics has advocated limits to these interventions for utilitarian reasons and because of the assumption that people know what is best for themselves. But more recently, behavioral economics has focused on biases and inconsistencies in individual behavior. Based on these developments, governments now prescribe the foods we eat, the apartments we rent, and the composition of our financial portfolios. The Tyranny of Utility takes on this rise of paternalism and its dangers for individual freedoms, and examines how developments in economics and the social sciences are leading to greater government intrusion in our private lives. Gilles Saint-Paul posits that the utilitarian foundations of individual freedom promoted by traditional economics are fundamentally flawed. When combined with developments in social science that view the individual as incapable of making rational and responsible choices, utilitarianism seems to logically call for greater governmental intervention in our lives. Arguing that this cannot be defended on purely instrumental grounds, Saint-Paul calls for individual liberty to be restored as a central value in our society. Exploring how behavioral economics is contributing to the excessive rise of paternalistic interventions, The Tyranny of Utility presents a controversial challenge to the prevailing currents in economic and political discourse. 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aUtilitarianism 606 $aPaternalism 606 $aPublic welfare 610 $aCoasian view. 610 $aFreudianism. 610 $aFriedrich Nietzsche. 610 $aLockean theory. 610 $aMan. 610 $aPareto improvements. 610 $aPigovian taxation. 610 $aPostmodernism. 610 $aaddictive goods. 610 $aautonomy. 610 $abehavioral biases. 610 $abehavioral economics. 610 $abehavioral issues. 610 $abehavioral problems. 610 $acognitive capacity. 610 $acompetitive markets. 610 $aconsistent behavior. 610 $aconsistent self. 610 $adivine order. 610 $aeconomic theory. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aexternality. 610 $afinancial capacity. 610 $afree markets. 610 $aglobal efficiency. 610 $agovernment control. 610 $agovernment intervention. 610 $agovernment intrusion. 610 $agovernment involvement. 610 $ahappiness. 610 $aincarnations. 610 $aincentives. 610 $aindividual freedom. 610 $aindividual liberty. 610 $aindividual rights. 610 $aindividual welfare. 610 $aindividual well-being. 610 $aindividualistic values. 610 $aintellectual apparatus. 610 $aintellectual safeguard. 610 $alaissez-faire. 610 $alegitimacy of power. 610 $alibertarian paternalism. 610 $alimited government. 610 $alimited liability. 610 $amarket interactions. 610 $amarkets. 610 $amodern paternalism. 610 $aobjective reality. 610 $apaternalism. 610 $apaternalistic governments. 610 $apaternalistic intervention. 610 $apaternalistic interventions. 610 $apaternalistic policies. 610 $apaternalistic state. 610 $apenalties. 610 $apolicy prescriptions. 610 $apolitical economy critique. 610 $apolitical institutions. 610 $apopulation distribution. 610 $apost-utilitarian paradigm. 610 $apost-utilitarianism. 610 $aprice restrictions. 610 $apsychological phenomena. 610 $apublic policy. 610 $arational phenomena. 610 $aresponsibility transfer. 610 $arevealed preferences. 610 $aself-consciousness. 610 $aself-reported happiness. 610 $asin tax. 610 $asocial contract. 610 $asocial engineer. 610 $asocial planner. 610 $asocial preferences. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $astate involvement. 610 $astatistics. 610 $atransactions. 610 $aunique self. 610 $aunitary individual. 610 $autilitarian social policy. 610 $autilitarian state. 610 $autilitarianism. 610 $autility. 610 $avoluntary transactions. 610 $awelfare. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aUtilitarianism. 615 0$aPaternalism. 615 0$aPublic welfare. 676 $a330.12 700 $aSaint-Paul$b Gilles$0140788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781461303321 996 $aThe tyranny of utility$93703013 997 $aUNINA
