epub Slices and Lumps: Division and Aggregation in Law and Life
por Lee Anne Fennell
Descrição do livro
How things are divided up or pieced together matters. Half a bridge is of no use at all. Conversely, many assets and resources would do more good if they could be artfully subdivided. Difficulties in “slicing” and “lumping” shape nearly every facet of how we live and work—and a great deal of law and policy as well. Slices and Lumps explores how both types of challenges—carving out useful slices and assembling useful lumps—surface in myriad contexts, from high-profile issues like eminent domain to everyday struggles with work, money, and self-control. Yet the significance of configuration is often overlooked, leading to missed opportunities for improving our lives.
Leveraging the logic of slicing and lumping has never been more important. As increasing urbanization and environmental threats raise the stakes for assembling resources and cooperation, emerging forms of unbundling, from jobs to cars to homes to entertainment, have refined the slices in which we produce and consume. The future of the city, the workplace, the marketplace, and the environment all turn on matters of configuration, as do the prospects for more effective legal doctrines, for better management of finances and health, and more. This book reveals configuration’s power and potential—as a unifying concept and as a focus of public and private innovation.
