  1. "Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives" by Michael Heller & James Salzman

    3 SEPT

    "Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives" by Michael Heller & James Salzman

    Osgoode Professors Richard Haigh and Dan Priel are joined by Professor Michael Heller of Columbia Law School and Professor James Salzman of UCLA School of law and UCSB Bren School of the Environment. The book is a provocative book about how ownership -- a legal concept -- is much more complicated than it seems. Ownership is value-laden, contextual and, in the infinite number of situations where scarcity exists, subject to a myriad number of conflicting claims. This fascinating, and eminently readable book will change the way you think about property.

    "Politics and Expertise" by Zeynep Pamuk

    Dan and Richard are joined by University of Oxford Associate Professor Zeynep Pamuk to discuss her recent book, Politics and Expertise: How to Use Science in a Democratic Society. The book's grand theme is captured in the two epigraphs found at the beginning: "It would not only be foolish but downright irresponsible to accept the judgment of scientists and physicians without further examination" and "the rational layman will recognize that in matters about which there is good reason to believe there is expert opinion, he ought not to make up his own mind." Zeynep provides a robust critique, and ideas for solutions, on how the longstanding tension between expert knowledge and democratic decision making can be resolved, using very topical examples such as the recent global pandemic.
