Current Issue

Vol.18 No.1 (2009).

In this issue Rutger Claasen argues that while security is not an inherently public good, and that while it has never been the sole responsibility of the state and the police as many believe, there are nonetheless persuasive reasons for the state to assume this vital role. Former editor of Melbourne newspaper 'The Age' Michael Gawenda reflectson the 'golden age' of newspapers, their turbulent present, and looks at some less gloomy prospects for their future in a digital world.  Adrian Walsh takes a look at the at the history of money-lending and its moral appraisal before coming up with a successful framework for its evaluation. And David Coady and Samir Chopra examine a cricketing dilemma; they ask whether batsmen might sometimes be obliged to acknowledge their own dismissal by leaving the wicket without even waiting for the umpire's decision, or whether walking might present its own moral problems.
