572.0. "On a legal note....." by LAMHRA::WHORLOW (Prussiking up the rope of life!) Wed Oct 19 1988 03:41

    G'day,
    
    I think this is relevant to this notesfile. ......
    
    Following on is an essay topic from my son's Law course.(1styear, 4th
    Essay). Since it involves some pretty good concepts and words, we felt
    it should cause some erudite discussion. If it does, he will try and
    get it marked ..
    
    
     so for all the 'tween-deck lawyers....... 
    
    
    Evaluate the nature of the corruption of the American republican
    form of government. To what extent can it be said that language
    was implicated in the distribution of authority and retreat from
    politics? Can it be argued that the capacity for liberal economic
    theory and the new market economy to utilize the conceptual apparatus
    of the common law tradition, whose language embodied the values
    of "homo economicus" and the private sphere, rather than the ideals
    of a republican form of government, resulted in the subsumption
    of politics under economics?
    
    
    Well?
