AbstractIn this comment I challenge two of the arguments made in the paper, “Toward the Feminine Firm.” First I challenge the claim that Gilligan's work on gender differences in moral orientation provides a logically and empirically sound foundation for an alternative theory of the firm. I cite recent work that discredits any concise notion of a feminine ethic. Second I challenge the claim that, if such a firm were to exist, it would flourish in a competitive market economy. I suggest that, far from flourishing, such a firm will rapidly perish.

Abstract Entrepreneurial activity is one of the main factors in the development of the market economy of the state, the internal and external markets of Ukraine and innovative industries. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to analyse the peculiarities of the legal position of a company after a decision has been made to terminate it. It is established that the liquidation of legal entities is performed without the transfer of the rights and obligations of the liquidated enterprise to other persons, i.e. without succession. Upon liquidation of the enterprise, its rights and obligations are terminated. The current civil legislation does not provide for the limitation of the powers of the liquidation commission in cases of liquidation based on a court decision. It is argued that the liquidation commission be terminated when an entry on termination of the activity of a legal entity is made in the unified state register.

The Social

In this chapter the Social and Solidarity Economy is presented both as an alternative theory and a counterhegemonic program of political action that challenges the tenets of the market economy of neoliberal doctrine. The proposal is framed within a substantive economy approach based on the works of Marx and Polanyi. The categories of a substantive economic analysis regarding ethical and specifically economic principles and institutions are outlined. Recent advances in the line of a Social and Solidarity Economy are sketched for some of the Latin American national-popular political processes (Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, with some references to Brazil), including an especial reference to the new constitutions and public policies and the tensions between different objectives revealed within them.

The Feminine

This study uses measures of cognitive and expressive aspects of gender as a social identity from the General Social Survey to examine whether and how they relate to religiosity. I find that religiosity is clearly gendered, but in different ways for women and men. Consistent with the feminine-typing of religion in the Christian-majority context of the United States, gender expression is linked with more religiousness among women but not men. Consistent with religion being a sometimes patriarchal institution, those with more pride in being men are more religious. I conclude that religiosity is gendered, that degendering and secularization processes could go hand-in-hand, and that future research on gender differences in religiosity should further examine variation among women and among men.

Along with the globalisation of the contemporary world economy, we may also speak of a globalisation of the market, where the company must capitalise its industrial products. This chapter particularly deals with the industrial companies' activities under the conditions of the competitive market economy. It addresses aspects relating to market under globalisation, competitive development of companies under global economy, companies' growth “in waves” under a globalised economy, companies' internationalisation under global economy, companies' rating under the current market economy, etc. This chapter gives special attention to the analysis of communication models and to the influence that they have on industrial companies' management.

The Impact

Family is an important institution to build a person's personality, morality, value and attitude. When this institution communicates properly, it shows the impact e.g. a boy or a girl becomes social human being. Unfortunately in our family gender biasness is reinforced continuously by starting to behave differently with boys and girls from the childhood. Parents communicate with them in a different way which constructs the traits of “masculinity” and “femininity”. Girls are compelled to learn the feminine role with politeness, submissiveness and their mobility is restricted in public world. It is a family which trains a girl to be a good mother, wife, sister or daughter, on the other hand a boy learns to be social, intellectual, able to run the world and strong. This different formation of role and behavior results in the ongoing discrimination everywhere in the society. This reinforcement is sort of relief from social stigmatization but has overall negative impact on life and through this family can be counted as the main birthplace of discrimination against women. Girls and boys must be raised neutrally to eradicate the gender differences and ensure the equality.

Mature Work

Henry George’s Progress and Poverty, published in 1879, did for left-Lockeanism what Spooner’s contemporaneous mature work did for right-Lockeanism: It took up and developed a line of thought that an earlier author pioneered and, in the process, established a conceptual framework that would survive into the twentieth century. Like Bray, George attempts to solve Locke’s property problem by arguing that people are required to form and maintain political arrangements that protect our common positive right to share the world as equals. But unlike Bray, he does not lean heavily on a labor theory of value. He argues instead that traditional landownership subjects the landless to landowners’ arbitrary power, even when labor exchanges between the two parties leave everyone richer than they were before. In order to respect our common right to the world and the freedom from domination it mandates, governments need not, as Bray argues, seize the means of production and subject them to direct collective control. Rather, they need only require landholders to rent their land from the community at competitive market rates. Once governments pool these rents into a public fund, citizens can enjoy their natural common right within an otherwise competitive market economy. This blueprint would inspire the left-libertarian property theory that has recently emerged to challenge right-libertarianism around turn of the twenty-first century.

Article 102 Tfeu

As product differentiations, privileges on the internet (such as "zero rating" or "specialised services") are a result of the competitive market economy. However, in the discourse on net neutrality, in the sense of indiscriminate treatment of data, there are calls for regulation as the existing legal framework is considered as inadequate. Based on the conceptual, technical, legal, political and economic foundations, the thesis nevertheless shows that general competition law, in particular Article 102 TFEU, p is a suitable and adequate legal framework. Even after the adoption of Regulation 2015/2120/EU ("Open Internet"), this finding has not lost its relevance. Rather, the thesis describes how both regimes interact, and for which cases a recourse to general competition law is indicated.

That the market economy inevitably leads to inequality is widely accepted today, with disagreement confined to the desirability of redistributive action, its extent, and the role of government in the process. The canonical text of liberal political economy, Adam Smith'sWealth of Nations,is assumed even in the most progressive interpretations to accept inequality, rationalized as the inevitable trade-off for increasing prosperity compared to less developed but more equal economies. I argue instead that Smith's system, if fully implemented, would not allow steep inequalities to arise. In Smith, profits should be low and labor wages high, legislation in favor of the worker is “always just and equitable,” land should be distributed widely and evenly, inheritance laws liberalized, taxation can be high if it is equitable, and the science of the legislator is necessary to put the system in motion and keep it aligned. Market economies are made in Smith's system. Political theorists and economists have highlighted some of these points, but the counterfactual “what would the distribution of wealth be if all the building blocks were ever in place?” has not been posed. Doing so encourages us to question why steep inequality is accepted as a fact, instead of a pathology that the market economy was not supposed to generate in the first place.
