The Case Against the Davis-Bacon Act Fifty-Four Reasons for Repeal

The Case Against the Davis-Bacon Act Fifty-Four Reasons for Repeal

The Davis-Bacon Act is a United States federal law that established the requirement that prevailing wages must be paid on public works projects. In this book Armand J. Thieblot argues that the law was passed under false pretenses and based on flawed economic logic. Despite this the law continues to expand in scope and increase in cost. The act is supported by a substantial bureaucracy within the Department of Labor that has resisted all efforts at substantive modernization or reform. Today the Davis-Bacon Act is the bedrock upon which stands one of the last bastions of private unionization in the construction industry. This book provides a compelling list of fifty-four separate reasons why the Davis-Bacon Act should be repealed. Thieblot deals with the history purposes and administrative concepts of prevailing wage laws providing an overview of the act's administration. He covers the survey and determination process and delves into how the act is administered. Thieblot summarizes its direct and indirect costs evaluates counterclaims on the economic impact of Davis-Bacon and considers compromises short of full repeal. Also included are seven appendices that provide full support for the conclusions summarized in the main text. Thieblot documents a case against Davis-Bacon that is neither judgmental nor political but he does question whether there is compelling public interest in maintaining a federal prevailing wage law. He puts forward a list of reasons why the Davis-Bacon Act should be repealed making a convincing case that deserves action and not just simple consideration. This work should be read by all economists lawmakers and government officials. | The Case Against the Davis-Bacon Act Fifty-Four Reasons for Repeal

The Experimental Approach to Free Will Freedom in the Laboratory

The Experimental Approach to Free Will Freedom in the Laboratory

Recently psychologists and neurobiologists have conducted experiments taken to show that human beings do not have free will. Many including a number of philosophers assume that even if science has not decided the free will question yet it is just a matter of time. In The Experimental Approach to Free Will Katherin A. Rogers accomplishes several tasks. First canvasing the literature critical of these recent experiments (or of conclusions drawn from them) and adding new criticisms of her own she shows why these experiments should not undermine belief in human freedom – even robust libertarian freedom. Indeed many of the experiments do not even connect with any philosophical understanding of free will. Through this discussion she generates a long list of problems – ethical as well as practical – facing the attempt to study free will experimentally. With these problems highlighted she shows that even in the distant future supposing the brain sciences to have advanced far beyond where they are today it will likely be impossible to settle the question of free will experimentally. She concludes that since philosophy has not and science cannot settle the question of free will it is more reasonable to suppose that humans do indeed have freedom. Brings together and adds to criticisms of recent experiments (or conclusions drawn from them) which supposedly show that human beings do not have free will Analyzes recent experiments supposedly related to human freedom through the lens of a philosophically informed portrait of a robust libertarian free choice Develops a long list of problems – both practical and ethical – facing the experimental study of human freedom Proposes a thought experiment set in a distant future of advanced brain science to show that it is likely impossible for science ever to settle the question of free will. | The Experimental Approach to Free Will Freedom in the Laboratory
