Are you Team Carole or Team Joe? This summer, I will use “Tiger King” to explore the legal and ethical environments of business with my undergraduate students. For your reference, here is a link to a draft of my Summer 2020 Syllabus (PDF), via WordPress. The first two pages of the syllabus are pictured below.

Should be a fun class. I was curious to what your thoughts were pertaining to exotic animal ownership laws.
I am just as curious, as I have never taught the course this way before! It turns out that, in addition to all the state and federal and international laws relating to to animals, there are many classic common law cases that are relevant too!
That certainly makes it extremely complex. If you ever publish any papers on the topic let me know. I would be glad to read it.
Indeed. As an added bonus, Ronald Coase’s classic paper “The Problem of Social Cost” features a number of cases and examples involving animals.
I will see if I can find it online. Thanks for sharing!
Also, check out my fun paper on “Clones and the Coase theorem”, where I apply Coase’s influential ideas to the movie Blade Runner (1982 version). Here is a link: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1991411
Will do! Let me finish up my research for my next Econ essay.
Deal!
I decide to read your paper instead of working on my latest essay.
1. I wrote a blog entry few years ago pertaining to the ethics of artificial intelligence. It’s there shoddy work , however, I wish I had addresses lifespan in that essay. Reading your paper made me realize what a profound oversight that was.
2. Excellent point regarding competitive and open markets remedying the issues related to life extension technology in the movie. Without competition, innovation will only stagnate. It is true, variety is the spice of life.
3. What do you think (hypothetically) Ridley Scott and Phillip K. Dick’s impression of this paper would be. Often science fiction brings to light a lot of deep moral questions. However, I have often wondered if the creators intentionally generate these themes or if they are an organic byproduct of the creative process.
Excellent points! Regarding lifespan, there is a beautiful paper by Stephen Jay Gould (and a chapter in The Panda’s Thumb, I believe) that shows how the length of a creature’s lifespan is relative to the biological makeup and way of life of that creature. That paper/chapter totally blew me away!
Let me see if I can’t find it in the internet. However, reading The Problem of Social Costs will take primacy over Gould’s paper.
I have read and listened explanations Of Coase’s Theorem. Now I think it is time to formulate my own opinion.
Agreed!
Also, regarding point 2, I see the inability to think in “dynamic” terms really weakens the arguments of many AI amd robit ethicists. There is no central moral planner who can resolve all the ethical dilemmas these new technologies create!
It’s seems that central planning always fails. Economically and philosophically. Most issues are too complicated and situation specific for an effective top-down solution.
This is why I say: Two Cheers for F. A. Hayek!
I second that! One for his insights in The Road to Serfdom. Also, his contributions to Business Cycle Theory.
Hayek’s Road to Serfdom is more relevant today than ever before.
Couldn’t agree more!
Have you seen the “boom or bust” rap battle between Hayek and Keynes? If not, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk
Your Welcome!
I actually have a link to it embedded in my blog entry related to the Hayekian Triangle.
https://invertedlogicblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/hayekian-triangle-part-i/
There is also now a Marx v.s. Mises rap battle
You are way ahead of me, then!
However, I would say Keynes vs Hayek is the better song.
Last but not least: it’s too bad Phillip K Dick died before the movie was released, but you have inspired me to send the “clones and coase theorem” paper to Ridley Scott! Hopefully, he will like it as much as we do!
If you get a response from him, you should write a blog entry about it.
Fingers crossed!
