Pamela
C. Corley. Concurring opinion writing on the U.S. Supreme Court. SUNY
Press, c2010. KF8742.C67
2010 This
book provides a systematic examination of the content of Supreme Court
concurrences. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods of
analysis, it offers a detailed portrait of judicial decision making by
studying the process of opinion writing and the formation of legal doctrine
through the unique lens of concurrences. The author asserts that
concurrences allow the justices to express their views about the law and
engage in a dialogue of law with each other, the legal community, the public,
and Congress. |

Richard
A. Posner. A failure of capitalism : the crisis of '08 and the descent
into depression. Harvard University Press, 2009. HB3722.P67
2009 This
book discusses the economic crisis of 2008, exploring the possible causes of
the crisis as well as potential remedial approaches. Among the facts
and causes considered are excess savings flowing in from Asia and the
lowering of interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board, the relation between
executive compensation, short-term profit goals, and risky lending, the
housing bubble, the low savings rate of the American people, and the highly
leveraged balance sheets of large financial institutions. |
