David Goddard Reihenfolge der Bücher

This book explores the reasons behind the failure of laws and offers strategies for creating effective legislation. It addresses critical questions: Why do some laws fail, and how can we ensure they succeed? Written by a prominent jurist, the guide analyzes various unsuccessful laws, including those that achieve minimal impact, overshoot their goals, produce unintended consequences, or backfire against their intended purposes. It delves into the underlying causes of these failures, incorporating insights from psychology and economics, particularly the work of Kahneman on human narrative development and future predictions. The author presents practical strategies to mitigate legislative failure risks, advocating for a structured approach to assessing potential impacts, recognizing knowledge limits, and framing laws to adapt to new information or changing circumstances. Key themes include the significance of the institutions implementing the laws, the role of default outcomes, and the persistence of these defaults. The book concludes with valuable checklists and questions for those involved in legislative design, making it a practical resource for lawmakers and policymakers.

The Tower of Alchemy is the first book published in the West to openly reveal the teachings and practice of the Hermetic Art in plain language.
