  • Power without Knowledge

    A Critique of Technocracy

    par Jeffrey Friedman ...
    Technocrats claim to know how to solve the social and economic problems of complex modern societies. But as Jeffrey Friedman argues in Power without Knowledge, there is a fundamental flaw with technocracy: it requires an ability to predict how the people whom technocrats attempt to control will act in response to technocratic policies. However, the mass public's ideas-the ideas that drive their ... En savoir plus

  • Engineering the Financial Crisis

    Systemic Risk and the Failure of Regulation

    par Jeffrey Friedman, Wladimir Kraus ...
    The financial crisis has been blamed on reckless bankers, irrational exuberance, government support of mortgages for the poor, financial deregulation, and expansionary monetary policy.

  • Isaiah Berlin

    Modifié par Jeffrey Friedman ...
    Isaiah Berlin’s liberalism seems both dated and essential in an era of ideological extremes. Berlin’s vision of liberalism rejected metaphysics, philosophies of history, and particular conceptions of the good, setting a pattern for Anglo-American political thought that is still influential and may offer resources for understanding the resurgence of ideology in the twenty-first century, but one ...

  • What Caused the Financial Crisis

    par Richard A. Posner ...
    The deflation of the subprime mortgage bubble in 2006-7 is widely agreed to have been the immediate cause of the collapse of the financial sector in 2008. Consequently, one might think that uncovering the origins of subprime lending would make the root causes of the crisis obvious. That is essentially where public debate about the causes of the crisis began—and ended—in the month following the ... En savoir plus

  • Hayek's Political Theory, Epistemology, and Economics

    Modifié par Jeffrey Friedman ...
    Hayek thought that all economic behavior (and by implication other human behavior) is based on fallible interpretations of what information is important and of its implications for the future. This epistemological idea animated not only his heterodox economic thought, but his ideal of the rule of law; his road-to-serfdom thesis; and his critique of the notion of social justice. However, the ... En savoir plus

  • Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency

    Modifié par Jeffrey Friedman, Shterna Friedman ...
    In The Rhetorical Presidency, Jeffrey Tulis argues that the president’s relationship to the public has changed dramatically since the Constitution was enacted: while previously the president avoided any discussions of public policy so as to avoid demagoguery, the president is now expected to go directly to the public, using all the tools of rhetoric to influence public policy. This has effectively ... En savoir plus

  • The Art of Nonfiction Movie Making

    par Jeffrey Friedman, Rob Epstein, Sharon Wood ...
    The past few years have featured such blockbusters as Super-Size Me, Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, March of the Penguins, and An Inconvenient Truth. And as news articles proclaim a new era in the history of documentary films, more and more new directors are making their first film a nonfiction one. But in addition to posing all of the usual challenges inherent to more standard filmmaking, documentaries ... En savoir plus
