De acuerdo a la economía institucional, las instituciones serían agentes esenciales del progreso económico y del progreso agrícola. Contar con derechos de propiedad claros constituye un factor de crecimiento de la producción y un sistema de propiedad perfecto sería una condición prioritaria para alcanzar el progreso en la agricultura. Por ello se realizan los cercamientos en Inglaterra, mientras que en Francia la revolución y el Código Civil y su adopción mas allá de sus fronteras, serían los motores del desarrollo económico en el campo; con la salvedad de que no existieron cercamientos en Francia, ni un código civil y un derecho de propiedad absoluto en Inglaterra. Sin embargo la gran propiedad inglesa habría acompañado la innovación, mientras que la pequeña propiedad francesa no la experimentaría tanto. Un derecho de propiedad absoluto, perfecto, facilitaría, entre otras cosas, la circulación de la propiedad a través de un mercado inmobiliario liberado de las trabas que le impiden funcionar. A su vez un mercado inmobiliario activo permitiría asegurar una selección de los mejores agricultores y promovería un aumento de la producción. Este libro examina estas construcciones ideológicas que no siempre acompañan a la realidad en la medida en que transmiten muchas inexactitudes y contradicciones. No está claro, por ejemplo que la propiedad imperfecta sea un obstáculo para el crecimiento de la agricultura. Tampoco es evidente que la desaparición de todas las formas de propiedad superpuestas y de sus usos, o la supresión de propiedades colectivas sean necesarias para lograr una revolución agrícola, ni tampoco indispensables para acelerar la circulación de bienes inmobiliarios

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.
