Points Of View

Although behavioural economists are not rhetoricians, and rhetoricians are not behavioural economists, they are both interested in persuasion, even as they come at it from different points of view. Lecture 10 argues that behavioural economics examines our choice-making practices and considers how a range of influences works in concert with conventional economic interests to shape the procedures by which we come to decisions. These influences use rhetoric to nudge people to adopt particular beliefs, engage in specific behaviour, and endorse ideas believed to be in the public interest. Les économistes comportementaux ne sont pas rhétoriciens, et les rhétoriciens ne sont pas économistes comportementaux, mais ils s’intéressent tous les deux à la persuasion, même si leurs points de vue diffèrent. Le cours 10 soutient que l’économie comportementale examine notre manière de faire des choix et il considère comment un éventail d’influences, de concert avec des intérêts économiques conventionnels, façonne les procédures par lesquelles on prend des décisions. Ces influences utilisent la rhétorique afin d’inciter les gens à adopter des croyances particulières, adopter des comportements spécifiques, et appuyer des idées censées être dans l’intérêt public.

This chapter describes the role of the directors. The duties of the directors are owed to the company and while the shareholders are the primary indirect beneficiaries of those duties, the law integrates the interests of creditors and also of wider society. The law is primarily focused on ensuring compliance with the Companies Act and the constitution rather than with the enhancement of economic interests. The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 serves as a mechanism through which the public interest is integrated into company law, while the UK Corporate Governance Code adds a further procedural dimension to the operation of the board of directors. The chapter then looks at how the idea of designing remuneration in a way that guides the directors to act either for the benefit of the shareholder or for the benefit of the company is flawed and has served as a motor justifying increasing rewards without bringing about commensurate increases in performance. It also analyses the duties of the directors to keep accounting records and to produce financial reports.

The chapter aims to analyse the current European Union legislation on digital copyright from the perspective of the public interest in scientific research, by studying the digital exclusive rights framework granted to creators and to database owners and by contraposing it with the foreseen narrow field of public interest based limitations on exclusive rights. Concepts like digital libraries, fair use and limitations on exclusive rights, tpm and drm, copyleft and free/open source contents is analysed. The chapter concludes by identifying the necessity of a redefinition of a new internal balance of copyright law which can respect authors' and database owners' legitimate economic interests and simultaneously promote the dissemination and the access to works for scientific research and publishing purposes and the renewal of the creative cycle.

Opinion Polls

The legal profession is currently the subject of controversy and criticism. Individual attorneys are often described as unethical and incompetent, while the bar is portrayed as politically partisan, captive of economic interests, and unresponsive to the public interest. Public opinion polls document disrespect for attorneys as a group. Local and national scandals highlight criminal acts of prominent attorneys. The cost, quality, and availability of legal services are matters of public debate.
