MEDINA'S STORY --$tNOTES --$tINDEX --$tABOUT THE AUTHOR 330 $aSince the fall of communism, laissez-faire capitalism has experienced renewed popularity. Flush with victory, the United States has embraced a particularly narrow and single-minded definition of capitalism and aggressively exported it worldwide. The defining trait of this brand of capitalism is an unwavering reverence for the icons of the market. Although promoted as a laissez-faire form of capitalism, it actually reflects the very evils of selfishness and greed by entrepreneurs that concerned Adam Smith. Capitalism, however, can thrive without an extreme emphasis on efficiency and personal autonomy. Americans often forget that theirs is a rather peculiar form of capitalism, that other Western nations successfully maintain capitalistic systems that are fundamentally more balanced and nuanced in their effect on society. The unnecessarily inhumane aspects of American capitalism become apparent when compared to Canadian and Western European societies, with their more generous policies regarding affirmative action, accommodation for disabled persons, and family and medical leave for pregnant woman and their partners. In American Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism, Ruth Colker examines how American law purports to reflect--and actively promotes--a laissez-faire capitalism that disproportionately benefits the entrepreneurial class. Colker proposes that the quality of American life depends also on fairness and equality rather than simply the single-minded and formulaic pursuit of efficiency and utility. 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States 606 $aCritical legal studies$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aCritical legal studies 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation 676 $a349.73 700 $aColker$b Ruth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0725563 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213829003321 996 $aAmerican Law in the Age of Hypercapitalism$92804751 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02264nam1 22004573i 450 001 CAGE005893 005 20251003044104.0 100 $a20130827d1776 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $alat$clat 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 183 1$6z01$anc$2RDAcarrier 200 1 $aInstitutiones philosophicæ ad studia theologica potissimum accomodatæ, auctore Francisco Jacquier ...
