Robert Heron Bork fue un jurista estadounidense reconocido por abogar por la filosofía judicial del originalismo. Su trabajo profundizó en la comprensión y aplicación de la intención original de los textos legales, dando forma al discurso en la jurisprudencia. La influencia de Bork fue particularmente profunda en el derecho de la competencia, donde su perspectiva sobre la maximización del bienestar del consumidor se ha convertido en una piedra angular del pensamiento legal moderno sobre el tema. Su legado reside en su riguroso enfoque de los principios legales y su interpretación consistente.
Focusing on the implications of antitrust suits, this book argues that they can harm consumers by fostering protectionism for inefficient small businesses. It critiques the traditional understanding of antitrust laws, suggesting that such legal actions ultimately lead to higher costs and reduced competition, rather than the intended benefits of promoting a fair marketplace. Through its analysis, it challenges conventional wisdom and advocates for a reevaluation of antitrust policy's impact on consumer welfare.
In this New York Times bestselling book, Robert H. Bork, our country's most distinguished conservative scholar, offers a prophetic and unprecedented view of a culture in decline, a nation in such serious moral trouble that its very foundation is crumbling: a nation that slouches not towards the Bethlehem envisioned by the poet Yeats in 1919, but towards Gomorrah. Slouching Towards Gomorrah is a penetrating, devastatingly insightful exposé of a country in crisis at the end of the millennium, where the rise of modern liberalism, which stresses the dual forces of radical egalitarianism (the equality of outcomes rather than opportunities) and radical individualism (the drastic reduction of limits to personal gratification), has undermined our culture, our intellect, and our morality. Robert H. Bork sounds a very sobering alarm. We can accept our fate and try to insulate ourselves from the effects of a degenerating culture, or we can choose to halt the beast, to oppose modern liberalism in every arena. In the view of Robert Bork, an understanding of our problem and the will to resist may be our only hope.
Právo vystavené svodům politiky.
Po několik posledních desetiletí bojovaly americké instituce s pokušením politiky. Jednotlivé profese a akademické disciplíny, které kdysi mívaly svůj vastní život a svou vlastní strukturu, postupně podléhaly, a v některých případech téměř zcela podlehly víře, že to jediné, na čem záleží, jsou politicky žádoucí výsledky, ať už se jich dosáhne jakkoli ...
