The article reappraises the law’s ‘egalitarian commitment’ in an era of global inequality. It upholds that such an egalitarian predicament scarcely squares with the reality. Firstly, international groups aim to control how wealth is distributed in society; secondly, the divide between the Global South and the Global North rises at a steady rate. Thirdly, the rule of law, which should spread good governance and development, conceals a policy of domination. Finally, global financial actors code their own interests through the law by seeking a connection with the public sphere in the field of public finance. The article argues that private interests have infiltrated the public sphere and contributed, globally and domestically, to the rise of ‘mortgaged democracies’. In so doing, it draws examples from English constitutional history and considers how the common-law mentality has facilitated their advent. It then explains how this has triggered a change in how societies perceive the political bond, which is now rooted in several acts of conveyance. Finally, the article provides us with a further paradigm for the organisation of communities. English law has been able to cope to the iniquitous effects of the mortgage by developing the conception of the equity of redemption. The redemption paradigm is probably able to challenge the role of economic interests within societies and therefore radically transform the idea that political obligations might be conveyed upon condition .

抵押民主国家中的“货物和土地不平等”：全球比较法的范式和影响

文章重新评价了法律在全球不平等时代的“平等承诺”。它认为，这种平等主义的困境几乎不符合现实。首先，国际集团旨在控制财富在社会中的分配方式；其次，全球南方和全球北方之间的差距以稳定的速度扩大。第三，本应传播善治和发展的法治掩盖了统治政策。最后，全球金融行为者通过寻求与公共金融领域的公共领域的联系，通过法律对自己的利益进行编码。文章认为，私人利益已经渗透到公共领域，并在全球和国内促成了“抵押民主”的兴起。这样做时，它从英国宪法历史中汲取了一些例子，并考虑了普通法心态如何促进了它们的出现。然后它解释了这如何引发社会对政治纽带的看法发生变化，这种纽带现在植根于几种运输行为。最后，本文为我们提供了一个进一步的社区组织范式。英国法律已经能够通过发展赎回公平的概念来应对抵押的不公正影响。救赎范式可能能够挑战经济利益在社会中的作用，因此从根本上改变了政治义务可以有条件地传达的想法。这现在植根于几种运输行为。最后，本文为我们提供了一个进一步的社区组织范式。英国法律已经能够通过发展赎回公平的概念来应对抵押的不公正影响。救赎范式可能能够挑战经济利益在社会中的作用，因此从根本上改变了政治义务可以有条件地传达的想法。这现在植根于几种运输行为。最后，本文为我们提供了一个进一步的社区组织范式。英国法律已经能够通过发展赎回公平的概念来应对抵押的不公正影响。救赎范式可能能够挑战经济利益在社会中的作用，因此从根本上改变了政治义务可以有条件地传达的想法。
