The triangle ABC shows the total loss of the society or else the market failure. This loss is caused because of the fact that the monopoly companies (i.e. shipping companies) do not take into consideration the negative externalities they cause to their environment. These externalities affect negatively sectors like health, economy, ecosystem, local economies and that is where the state has to intervene through the appropriate legislation and acts in order to prevent and eliminate those harmful for the nature effects. Various economic theories and many economists tried to explain the rationale for state intervention in the economy and consequently in the shipping sector. Nevertheless, what we must take into consideration is the amount of this …show more content…

He insisted that when individuals are allowed to pick, the economy runs all the more effectively. Hayek gave his opinion of the right role of administration in his book The Constitution of Liberty. It is essentially a more wide view of the proper role of government where he mentioned the values of freedom and based his suggestions on those values. His main objection to progressive taxation was not that it causes inefficiency but that it violates equivalence before the Law. In his book “Why I Am Not a Conservative” Hayek differentiated his classical liberalism from …show more content…

By the term non-excludable, it is meant that the cost of excluding non payers from enjoying a good is prohibitive. The term non-rivalrous, refers to the individuals’ ability to enjoy a good without raising the cost of its production and without excluding others from enjoying it (Tyler Cowen 2008). The first economist who was referred to Public Goods was Paul Samuelson in his paper "The Pure Theory of Public Expenditure" in 1954. More specifically Coase’s study was focused on the property rights of pollution and therefore on the negative externalities of the economic activity of some companies. That means that the state has to assign clear property rights on who can pollute and to which extend. These regulations will lead to the reduction of the negative externalities such as air pollution from vessel funnels, accidents because of collisions-fires-explosions, oil spills and economic consequences to the hit area’s citizens and any other environmental

There was a lag of the shipping cycle in responding to the wider economy. Electronics and textiles at Chinese factories piled up since the European and US consumption declined. Ships sailed half empty, if at all and shipping companies began pulling vessels out of the liner markets since demand was low. The shipping industry came to an unexpected halt and ship owners and managers argued that this was normal and typical for such an industry.

Nash recapitulates that “Texas counties experienced pollution increases of more than a quarter, and some by almost 50 percent” (4) due to the pollution caused by the Maquiladoras. He also states that Texas” makes it cheaper to pollute than to not pollute”(5) and follows that up by rendering how “companies are literally paid to create environmental problems”(5) rather than helping the Texas

” Before the 1984 Act, ocean carriers had to comply with the conference system and as a result, conferences had oligopolistic power. A conference system was used by ocean carriers from the 17th century. The conference system allowed carriers to set freight rates.

Following the Clean Air Act of 1970, air pollution had significantly decreased in statistical levels, even corroborating the fact that Americans experience longer and healthier lives, with better visibility due to diminished smog and fog levels. On a broader note, even crops and farm animals saw a benefit in this Act, with cleaner and fresher air to use in many processes, like respiration and photosynthesis. In response to the Clean Water Act of 1972, the loss of wetlands have significantly decreased, and the bodies of water used for leisurely activities, such as fishing and swimming, have seen an increase. More impactfully, billions of pollutants have been eradicated from national waters, purifying and cleansing it for public use. Furthermore, public advocacy efforts such as the protests seen in the New York Times post in Document 3, and the speech given by Hansen in Document 5, have set the stage for global climate change activism.

The philosophe, John Locke, believed that individual freedom would create a much better government. Locke argued that are free in a state of nature and that they have the right to preserve that freedom. The easiest way to do that is to create a legislative branch that makes the laws. To also make an executive branch that carries out those laws (Doc A). If the government is failing them, they have the right to prevent that failure.

An example of air pollution that has become more prominent in the last few years has been acid rain. Acid rain had increased the marginal social cost on the American people through its risks of a persons health, however, most people only realize the marginal social benefits that it represents, like the goods that are made, with the rain as their product. Title IV of the Clean Air Act is where we find the laws that regulate Acid Deposition, which occurs when sulfur and nitrogen emissions combined with other substances, are changed in the atmosphere and then dropped back on Earth in a form that is very harmful to a persons and the environments health. The Clean Water Act was put into place in order to create a system so that there aren 't too many pollutants released into the U.S. 's water supply and to make sure that the water is deemed as safe for Americans to use and drink from.

What hayek is trying to say is that it’s a universally empirical generalization that every organization on this world, of which includes even tyrannies, are in a sense to some degree spontaneous, but also partly an ongoing product of ordering processes. The core idea behind the rule of law and why Hayek deems the need for government is that government’s responsibility is to limit its coercive power through the rule of law. That is, the effects of these general, abstract rules are foreseeable and applied equally to all, so that individuals are able to regulate their own conduct and act to place themselves in a position as to avoid to coercion by the state Historically, the state has seized a monopoly of power in society which has led to aggressive and detrimental consequences, but Hayek argues that a free liberal society solves this issue by monopolizing coercion on the state and by following the rule of law.

In late 18th century, the “invisible hand doctrine” was introduced on order to reduce the role of government. This means, an economic principle, first postulated by Adam Smith, holding that the greatest benefit to a society is brought about by individuals acting freely in a competitive marketplace in the pursuit of their own self-interest. In 19th century, the voice against the government heightened so that role of government in the economy declined dramatically. The “laissez-faire policy/doctrine/policy was evolved against the government intervention.
