Is Europe Living Up to Its Obligations to Refugees
While Europe is somewhat indeterminate as a legal concept, with respect to refugee law the European Union is the major actor in the region, although the Council of Europe provides protection guarantees for many people who fail to obtain refugee status consequent on the restrictive approach taken in EU Member States. In 2004, the EU finally produced the harmonized policies on qualification for refugee status or subsidiary protection, and on minimu…

Adam Smith on the Nature and Causes of Poverty
Adam Smith's views on poverty have received less attention than one would expect, but they are worth examining. In the Moral Sentiments Smith takes a skeptical, ironic view of the striving for material goods and wealth. Poverty is treated not as a condition of economic deprivation but as a cause of social isolation and psychic unease. In the Lectures on Jurisprudence Smith theorizes the amval of economic inequality as a society advances from the …

The Critique of Equalitarian Society in Malthus's Essay
The attack on perfectibilism in T. R. Malthus's Essay on Population (1798) is methodologically hollow. Malthus presents himself as a Newtonian empiricist, yet his analysis of equalitarian society is entirely abstract. Godwinian equality is debunked by means of a thought experiment. Malthus fails to take note of a variety of historical instances of equalitarian social practice (Sparta, the Moravians, and so on), thus undermining his empiricist pos…

In this article, Professor Gilbert focuses on shipholding in Baltimore in the period just prior to the late eighteenth century European war-induced shipping boom. He finds the port's foreign trade to be largely controlled by Baltimore residents. Merchants owned by far the largest percentage of t…
