The Wizdomkrafted Collection

Pure Fairness and Sustainable Efficiency

Fairness & Efficiency

Attaining societal equilibrium between pure fairness and sustainable efficiency requires a robust regulatory system grounded in social consensus, promoting mutual benefits and mitigating negative externalities by holding those responsible for harm accountable, with collective prosperity as the ultimate goal.

Human Development 
Contract System

Designed based on the principles of Economics of Law, the Human Development Contract System coordinates responsibilities at both the societal and the individual levels to ensure fair and efficient creation of life that fosters human development and hence that of society.

Procreative Contract

The Procreative Contract regulates parental responsibilities to ensure fair and efficient procreation that fosters human development. It takes into account both the rights of the procreated individual and the long-term welfare of society, establishing guidelines that impose costs on irresponsible procreation.

Coordinated Compassion

With relationship arrangements centered on power uniting among central organizations boasting a diverse array of expertise, humanity's compassion-coordinating mechanism of resource allocation can be built, providing a supportive network for those who suffer from different types of disasters.

Nationalism and Otherness

The translation research with a cultural approach, ‘Nationalism and Otherness in King Rama VI’s Translation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice,’ explores how translative adaptation reflects the concept of otherness, amplifying negative qualities of the ‘Other’ while contrastingly promoting royal nationalism.

Cycle of Economic Rent Accumulation

Cycle of Rent Accumulation

An entity's ability to capture and accumulate economic rents—additional profits above baseline returns—is essential for maintaining competitiveness. Its allocation approach defines the quantity and types of rents gathered, shaping its bargaining power to secure incremental rents in a dynamic cycle of rent accumulation.

Power Balancing
for Collective Benefit

In a geopolitical-economically contested arena, leveraging great power rivalry to enhance the collective bargaining power of small countries can create middle-ground regulatory mechanisms, promoting cooperation in sustainable development.

We Watch the Watchers:
An Optimal Police System

The interconnected Police-Citizen-Violator relationships requires comprehensive and effective regulatory mechanisms to ensure that interactions of interest and power among each parties promote the efficient operation of the police institution in maintaining justice in society.
