  The Hidden in the Text (4, 5, 6)

  "Hidden in the text" is an attempt to draw attention to the social importance of the issue of codes of culture. "Transitions" in modern culture determine themselves consistently, after that the associated change of codes, the change in attitude towards the text, the link between written word and language of visual communication, the abilities to ... "Hidden in the text" is an attempt to draw attention to the social importance of the issue of codes of culture. "Transitions" in modern culture determine themselves consistently, after that the associated change of codes, the change in attitude towards the text, the link between written word and language of visual communication, the abilities to extract hidden meaning in the text… To illustrate the latter serves as a reflection on two works of Roland Barthes - "The structural analysis of narrative" and "S/Z".

  A Response to Brooks' Support of Demsetz on the Coase Theorem

  Coase (1960) claimed that in the zero costs world, it would not matter for the allocation of resources which of two disputants were awarded the relevant property rights. Block (1977) disputed this, on the ground that it assumed that both parties would have the wherewithal with which to make the relevant bribe. Demsetz (1977) maintained that Block ... Coase (1960) claimed that in the zero costs world, it would not matter for the allocation of resources which of two disputants were awarded the relevant property rights. Block (1977) disputed this, on the ground that it assumed that both parties would have the wherewithal with which to make the relevant bribe. Demsetz (1977) maintained that Block (1977) failed to reckon with Coase‘s (1960) explicit assumption of no wealth effects. Block (1995) disputed this claim of Demsetz‘s (1977), claiming the Coase (1960) anticipated no such thing. The next round in this debate was Demsetz (1997) who reiterated his position, followed by Block (2000) in a response to Demsetz (1997). Brook (2007) mostly takes Demsetz‘s (1977, 1997) side of this ongoing discussion. The present paper is a rejoinder to Brook (2007), supporting Block (1997, 1995, 2000).
