{"product_id":"misgovernment-mark-lipse-9781524676742","title":"Misgovernment: When lawful authority prevents justice and prosperity","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy are so many countries so poorly governed? \u003cbr\u003e In Misgovernment, Mark Lipse presents a compelling theory - that misgovernment is the almost inevitable legacy of lawmakers ignoring natural rights when setting up the legal, administrative and constitutional powers of governments. The result, especially in developing countries, is \"predatory jurisdiction\", or government powers, which, while lawful, and generally viewed as normal and natural, actually have the potential to be massively unjust and destructive.\u003cbr\u003e In this cogently reasoned work, Lipse explains exactly how benchmarks can be established to identify such inappropriate government powers, and the standards of justice that should be applied in assessing them. \u003cbr\u003e An informed citizenry is an essential element in the struggle against misgovernment, injustice and poverty. Misgovernment provides a new set of ideas about governance to further the practical application of the underlying principle - that classical natural rights do provide a solid platform for truly benign yet effective social activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Lipse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1524676748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524676742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2017","brand":"Mark Lipse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518795985151,"sku":"9781524676742","price":41.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa00ab04-8fa9-44a9-943c-f1e9f738a72a.jpg?v=1778735679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/misgovernment-mark-lipse-9781524676742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
