10. Concluding remarks
10.1. Read the text.
Classic conceptions of legal normativity in terms of moral validity are hardly consistent with rational choice theory. For this reason the rational choice analysis of legal normativity is often associated with legal reductionism or legal conventionalism. In this paper I have explored a different approach to legal normativity that was originated by David Hume. Thus I have sought to uncover in the Treatise a fictionalist account of legal discourse. This account explains how legal “ought”s can be inferred from political “is”s: the constitutive rules of political conventions create fictional obligations through rules of inference. No fallacy is involved in this process as long as we adopt a fictionalist interpretation of objective obligation judgments. Rules of inference that allow the derivation of obligation judgments perform an ideological function: they conceal the fact that political conventions
are self-validating. The ideological advertising of such self-validation is supplied by state apparatuses in order to reduce in various ways policing and enforcement costs. Unlike the rule of recognition, which Hart conceives as a solution to the problem of uncertainty in the identification of primary rules, the fundamental point of self-validating political conventions and their sustaining ideological advertising is to implement social control in cost-effective ways.
Imposing sanctions has a social cost that must be weighed against the utility of deterring crime. Criminals, as rational actors, will decide whether to commit a crime according to the expected utility of doing so, which is a function of both the severity of the sanction and the probability of apprehension.
Depending on the rate at which potential criminals discount the disutility of punishment, and the rate at which taxpayers discount enforcement costs, it may be optimal to threaten severe sanctions that will only be imposed rarely, so long as the expected utility of committing a crime is negative.
If a fine of $10 would deter illegal parking, it may be efficient to impose a $10,000 fine with a probability of enforcement of 1/1,000: the expected disutility of illegally parking would be $10, but enforcement costs might be substantially reduced.
High fines may upset many people, and be regarded as unjust (because they are disproportionate to the offense), and unfair to the 1 in 1,000 violators who are caught.6 But if maximizing utility is our only goal, justice and fairness are beside the point (though one might convince oneself that getting caught is like losing a gamble, and losing a gamble is not unfair). In the ways just described, law-and-economics proponents follow the path of Jeremy Bentham, who also explained human behavior as utility-maximizing, and who also believed the principle of utility offers the only rational guide for determining what the law ought to be.
Though conceding that it is not susceptible of any direct proof, “for that which is used to prove everything else, cannot itself be proved,” Bentham had no question that the principle of utility – “that principle which approves or disapproves of every action whatsoever, according to the tendency which it appears to have to augment or diminish the happiness of the party whose interest is in question” – is our only rational guide: “Systems which attempt to question it, deal in sounds instead of sense, in caprice instead of reason, in darkness instead of light.
Not all law-and-economics proponents bluntly reject considerations apart from Utility, efficiency, or welfare. Other considerations are often briefly acknowledged nd put to one side.9 But some of the most visible proponents explicitly dismiss the contribution that nonutilitarians can make to our understanding of the law; or they reduce the concern for justice, fairness, or retribution to a “taste” that utilitarians enter into their calculations but do not otherwise weigh in policy deliberations. They are sharply critical of a moral point of view that is not controlled by economic analysis and, like Bentham, seem incredulous that anything other than augmenting social utility can count as a good reason for deciding upon a law or policy. Richard Posner criticizes those who do moral philosophy, which he denigrates with the label “academic moralism,” for their inability to solve any modern social problems:
“We can get along without doing or even thinking about moral theory. ” Moral
Philosophy does not provide the needed economic tools for policy analysis, and is “insipid.” Kaplow and Shavell, though perhaps less overtly hostile to moral philosophy than is Posner, similarly express an inability to comprehend any ground for law and social policy other than welfare or social utility. They oppose appeals to fairness, retribution, or a conception of right that is independent of welfare, because doing what is fair, just, or right may make everyone worse off from the standpoint of social utility. Many law-and-economics proponents conflate justifying a policy with demonstrating that it promotes welfare or utility.
They identify their enterprise as scientific, thoughwemust be careful to distinguish thosewho appropriately adopt a scientific method when investigating empirical questions, such as whether there is a statistically significant difference in the rate of certain crimes depending on whether discretionary gun laws are present or absent, fromthose who refer generally to law and economics as a science without distinguishing questions for which a scientific method is and is not appropriate.15 In harmonywith their self-identification as scientists, they believe their research goal is correct answers, discoverable by experts.16
Because moral philosophy seems to them unable to produce correct answers, having
failed to resolve centuries-old moral dilemmas, they regard questions of moral
judgment as nonscientific matters of sentiment, preference, or taste, about which
little can be intelligibly said.
