And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...APPUNTI DIRITTO COMMERCIALE Contenuti del diritto commerciale Il diritto commerciale fa parte del diritto privato ed è contenuto nel libro V° del codice civile. Diritto commerciale che nasce dal commercio e dalla sua evoluzione storica, si sostanzia nell’insieme delle regole che meglio disciplinano le attività commerciali private. Diritto che è spesso identificato nel “diritto del mercato” in quanto relativo all’insieme delle regole di domanda ed offerta, mercato che è poi il luogo in cui si realizzano gli scambi tra i privati, scambi regolati dal diritto commerciale. Tali regole hanno lo scopo unico di rendere certe le situazioni di fatto, promuovere e rendere efficienti gli scambi, tutelare il credito ecc. è chiaro, quindi, che il diritto commerciale non tutela i singoli interessi dei privati ma l’interesse del mercato in sé. Il diritto commerciale nasce con i comuni e le corporazioni dei commercianti, i quali, creano le norme ed anche i propri giudici (tribunali del commercio). Nel 1865 in tutti i paesi di civil law si attua una duplicazione codicistica, da una parte troviamo il codice civile e dall’altra il codice del commercio che spesso disciplinano stesse situazioni ma in modo diverso a seconda dei soggetti coinvolti. Nascono anche nuovi istituti quali la cambiale, la commenda (poi soc. accomandita), l’attività bancaria, del credito e l’assicurazione ecc. Queste regole “corporative”, con la nascita degli stati, diverranno regole dell’ordinamento. Con il nostro codice...
