The State of Economic and Social Human Rights
This edited volume offers original scholarship on economic and social human rights from leading and new cutting-edge scholars in the fields of economics, law, political science, sociology and anthropology. It analyzes the core economic and social rights and the crucial topic of non-discrimination, and includes an innovative section on 'meta' rights. The main chapters answer important questions about economic and social rights performance around t…
More for Less
The cost and effectiveness of a basic income guarantee and a job guarantee (combined with conventional transfer payments) are compared with respect to their ability to eliminate poverty and unemployment. It is argued that a BI guarantee provided in the form preferred by most advocates of the idea (a universal basic income grant or equivalent negative income tax) would be both more costly and less effective than a job guarantee—if the latter is pr…
Learning from the New Deal
This paper argues that the direct job-creation strategy adopted by the New Deal administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt in programs like the WPA (the “New Deal strategy”) is best understood as an effort to secure what the New Dealers came to regard as a human rights entitlement—the right to work—rather than as an economic policy designed to promote the economy's recovery from the Great Depression. The paper goes on to argue, though, that in fashi…

He shows that such a policy would provide more effective relief from the problems of poverty and unemployment than do existing arrangements while permitting a major expansion in the production of public goods and services without increasing tax burde…
The Value-Creating Capacity of Skilled Labor in Marxian Economics
According to the most widely accepted explanation of the increased value-creating capacity of skilled labor in Marxian economics, an expenditure of skilled labor represents a simultaneous expenditure of both the worker's present simple labor and apro rata share of all past labor spent on and by the worker acquiring the skill. First popularized by Hilferding, this solution to the so-called "reduction problem" has been elaborated and reaffirmed in …
Minimal Passing Scores on the Graduate School Foreign Language Tests
The Graduate School Foreign Language Tests in French, German, Russian, and Spanish are being widely used by graduate schools to measure reading proficiency. Score data have been provided for students tested in the program and for a sample of fourth‐semester students. Graduate schools have utilized these data effectively for the interpretation of the scores but have reported a persistent problem in setting minimal passing scores. A survey of parti…
