Title :
Lo StatoAuthor: De Jasay Anthony Publisher: IBL Libri Cosa faresti, se fossi tu lo Stato? Comincia così, con questa domanda semplice e sorprendente, uno dei più importanti libri di teoria politica degli ultimi cinquant'anni. Anthony de Jasay, il suo autore, arrivò tardi a occuparsi di filosofia politica, dopo un'intensa vita professionale. Con straordinario rigore analitico, in questo lavoro compie un'operazione apparentemente paradossale e nello stesso tempo fondamentale per comprendere come funzionano le istituzioni politiche della modernità. De Jasay considera lo Stato come una entità che vive di vita propria. In questo modo, contraddicendo solo apparentemente la grande lezione dell'individualismo metodologico, ci porta a ragionare sulle conseguenze delle azioni dello Stato, che sono l'esito dei fini che è plausibile attribuirgli. Esiste, sostiene de Jasay, una logica che è propria dello Stato e che lo conduce a monopolizzare sempre più compiti e attività. A spese della libertà del singolo e della società. € 22,00

Title :
Social Justice and the Indian Rope TrickAuthor: De Jasay Anthony, Kliemt Hartmut (EDT) Publisher: Liberty Fund Anthony de Jasay is arguably one of the most influential independent thinkers and libertarian political philosophers of our time. Through his writings, he challenges the reigning paradigms justifying modern democratic government, providing an antidote to the well-intentioned yet, in Jasay’s opinion, naive expansion of state power furthered by much of modern thought today. In this collection of witty and compelling essays, the author challenges what many of today’s social and political philosophers widely accept: that social injustice is identified with inequality and social justice with equality. Rather, Jasay argues that justice preempts so-called social justice, so any attempt to adorn equality in the robes of social justice is an illusion, a sleight of hand, “much as the Indian rope in the notorious trick is made to stand up skyward on its own.” The fifteen articles in this collection include both published and unpublished papers written over the years 2008 to 2012. Scholars, students, and general readers will enjoy this collection, which is written with just the right blend of serious scholarship, wit, and plain speaking. In addition, Social Justice and the Indian Rope Trick can be seen as a continuation of Jasay’s Political Philosophy, Clearly (Liberty Fund, 2010) and a companion to his book Economic Sense and Nonsense (Liberty Fund, 2014). € 14,50

Title :
Political Philosophy, ClearlyAuthor: De-Jasay Anthony, Kliemt Hartmut (EDT) Publisher: Liberty Fund Anthony de Jasay, one of the most independent thinkers and influential libertarian political philosophers of our time, challenges the reigning paradigms justifying modern democratic government. The articles collected in Political Philosophy, Clearly delve deeply into the realm of political thought and philosophical criticism. A reader who is interested in a philosophical, yet clear, jargon-free account of such fundamental topics as the relationship between liberty and justice, the viability of limiting government, the role of property, and the possibilities of the private provision of public goods as well as the private enforcement of public rules will find reading this book rewarding. Most of the articles have been published before in a wide arrray of publications and are presented here for the first time in one volume. The discussions in this work exhibit the antistatist line of thought that Jasay consistently pursues in all his writings. For Jasay, the provision of collective goods, including the most central one of social order itself, is much less dependent on the application of fundamental coercive power by centralized authorities than generally assumed. This idea echoes arguments he develops in detail in Social Contract, Free Ride. Anthony de Jasay is an independent theorist living in France. Jasay ?believes that philosophy should be mainly, if not exclusively, about clarifying conclusions that arise from the careless use of, or deliberate misuse of, language. There are echoes here of . . . Wittgenstein's later philosophy.” His books, translated into a half dozen languages, include Justice and Its Surroundings and Social Contract, Free Ride.[source/credit line] I. M. D.

Title :
Social Contract, Free RideAuthor: Jasay Anthony De Publisher: Liberty Fund This book provides a novel account of the public goods dilemma. The author shows how the social contract, in its quest for fairness, actually helps to breed the parasitic ?free riding” it is meant to suppress. He also shows how, in the absence of taxation, many public goods would be provided by spontaneous group cooperation. This would, however, imply some degree of free riding. Unwilling to tolerate such unfairness, cooperating groups would eventually drift from voluntary to compulsory solutions, heedless of the fact that this must bring back free riding with a vengeance. The author argues that the perverse incentives created by the attempt to render public provision assured and fair are a principal cause of the poor functioning of organized society.

Jasay ?believes that philosophy should be mainly, if not exclusively, about clarifying conclusions that arise from the careless use of, or deliberate misuse of, language.

Title :
Scelta, contratto, consenso. Una nuova esposizione del liberalismoAuthor: De Jasay Anthony Publisher: Rubbettino Il liberalismo, inteso come teoria politica applicabile ai problemi della società, è entrato in una crisi irreversibile già a partire da John Stuart Mill e, nel corso del secolo passato, ritirandosi di fronte all'avanzata dell'ideologia socialdemocratica, ha perso completamente la propria identità di filosofia politica coerente e compiuta. Questo è il verdetto senza appello che Anthony de Jasay sviluppa nella prima parte di questo libro, che si propone appunto di rifondare la teoria liberale su basi più solide e resistenti di quelle del "vecchio" liberalismo. Facendo largo uso di concetti ed esempi tratti dalla teoria della scelta razionale e dalla teoria dei giochi - la cui importanza metodologica è ampiamente sottolineata nei saggi introduttivi - de Jasay sviluppa in forma assiomatica una teoria del "liberalismo rigoroso" col preciso intento di delimitare nel modo più preciso possibile il ruolo e l'estensione della scelta collettiva rispetto alla sfera delle libere scelte dei singoli individui nella società. Confrontandosi coi principali problemi della teoria politica e del diritto, de Jasay mostra come la scelta individuale sia sufficiente, nella maggior parte dei casi, a garantire la produzione dei "beni pubblici" più importanti, quali l'ordinamento giuridico, l'applicazione delle norme sociali e l'imposizione dei contratti. € 10,00

Title :
Justice and Its SurroundingsAuthor: De-Jasay Anthony Publisher: Liberty Fund Libertarian (in the right-wing sense) political philosopher de Jasay presents 17 essays on his conception of justice and issues that he sees as surrounding the concept of justice: the state, the redistribution of income and wealth, the benefits and burdens between those who make collective choices and those who submit to them, the shaping of economic and social institutions so as to make them fit a unified ideology, and the problem of individual liberty.

Title :
The StateAuthor: De-Jasay Anthony Publisher: Liberty Fund Strikingly original. . . . De Jasay offers the most compelling account of what is wrong and dangerous about the state." ?Alan Ryan The State is an idiosyncratic and brilliant analysis of modern political arrangements that views the state as acting in its own interest contrary to the interests of individuals and even of an entire society. As Nobel laureate James Buchanan has observed, Jasay subjects the state to a "solid, foundational analysis, grounded in an understanding of economic theory, informed by political philosophy and a deep sense of history." The results include a "devastating critique of the absurdities of modern welfare economics." Jasay traces the logical and historical progression of the state from a modest-sized protector of life and property through its development into what he believes to be an "agile seducer of democratic majorities, to the welfare-dispensing drudge that it is today." Can, Jasay wonders, this seemingly inexorable expansion of the state be stopped? Or, "Is the rational next step [for the state] a totalitarian enhancement of its power?"
