'The M4P approach fosters understanding of the functions and players within market systems and how these can be strengthened in order to better serve the needs of the poor.' Alan Gibson.

Understanding the Founding
The first edition of Alan Gibson's Understanding the Founding is widely regarded as an invaluable guide to the last century's key debates surrounding America's founding. This new edition retains all of the strengths of the original while adding a substantial new section addressing a major but previously unaddressed issue and also significantly revising Gibson's invaluable conclusion and bibliography. In the original edition, which was built upon his previous work in Interpreting the Founding, Gibson addressed four key questions: Were the Framers motivated by their economic interests?

As in the original work, Gibson argues in the new edition that scholarship on the Founding is no longer steered by a single dominant approa...
Electing Judges
"In Electing Judges, James L. Gibson responds to the growing chorus of critics who fear that the politics of running for office undermine judicial independence. While many people have opinions on the topic, few have supported them with empirical evidence.
