Jonesing For A Taste of Competition: Why an Antiquated Maritime Law Needs Reform.
- Authors
Yost III, William H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, is an antiquated law that serves seamen in providing legal rights against the act of their employer in the U.S. It depicts the economic impacts of the Jones Act on several groups including cargo shipping companies, consumers, and shipbuilders. It compares the Jones Act to the cabotage law and finds that it is incapable in serving its purpose, which imposes the need to its reformation.
