The Pet Keeping Industry In The American City, Irus Braverman
The Pet Keeping Industry In The American City, Irus Braverman
Journal Articles
Two years ago, my now nine-year-old daughter decided that she, too, wants in on the American dream. A family without a dog is incomplete, so the dominant narrative around us seems to dictate – and that narrative was readily picked up by my daughter and, subsequently, by her younger sister as well. The pressure is now fully on for us to “adopt” a dog who would fill our days with laughter and fun. A dog who would make us belong. Despite my initial urge to satisfy my daughters’ passionate desire, I cannot help but to contemplate the broader role of …

Cash Is King: How Market-Based Strategies Have Corrupted Classrooms And Criminal Courts In Post-Katrina New Orleans, Olympia Duhart, Hugh Mundy
Cash Is King: How Market-Based Strategies Have Corrupted Classrooms And Criminal Courts In Post-Katrina New Orleans, Olympia Duhart, Hugh Mundy
Seattle University Law Review
On many accounts, it is a tale of two cities. The headlines and marketing machines tout to the world that “The Big Easy is Back.” But beyond the celebrations and parades, the story for poor Katrina survivors is very different. While many residents and businesses are enjoying a resurgence a decade after Katrina stormed through, others in post-Katrina New Orleans have a different experience. More than ten years after Hurricane Katrina, the city still struggles with systemic failures. These problem areas include housing, health care, mental health treatment, employment, education, and the criminal justice system. All of these challenges are …
Why Working But Poor? The Need For Inclusive Capitalism, Robert Ashford
Why Working But Poor? The Need For Inclusive Capitalism, Robert Ashford
Akron Law Review
This Article addresses two questions: (1) What other solutions beyond those already tried can and should be employed to reduce poverty? and (2) What can legal scholars, lawyers, law schools, legal clinics, and law students do to reduce poverty? The answer to the first question is to establish an “inclusive capitalism” by democratizing “capital acquisition with the earnings of capital” based on the principles of binary economics. This democratization requires extending to poor and middleclass people competitive access to the same governmentsupported institutions of corporate finance, banking, insurance, reinsurance, and favorable tax and monetary policies that are presently available primarily …

Corporate Power And Instrumental States: Toward A Critical Reassessment Of The Role Of Firms, States And Regulation In Global Governance, Dan Danielsen
Dan Danielsen
In this chapter, the author critically examines the view, commonly held among political liberals and conservatives alike, of the nation-state as the primary institutional safeguard against economic instability, and the correlative conception of “economic crises” as primarily the result of “regulatory failure,” either in the form of too much or too little oversight by states over the economy. Building on the author’s recent work exploring the “global economic order” as a complex co-production of states and economic actors bargaining over and adapting in relation to the rules that govern them, the author suggests that the modern nation state might be …
Capitalism And Risk: Concepts, Consequences, And Ideologies, Edward A. Purcell
Capitalism And Risk: Concepts, Consequences, And Ideologies, Edward A. Purcell
Articles & Chapters
Politically charged claims about both "capitalism" and "risk" became increasingly insistent in the late twentieth century. The end of the post-World War II boom in the 1970s and the subsequent breakup of the Soviet Union inspired fervent new commitments to capitalist ideas and institutions. At the same time structural changes in the American economy and expanded industrial development across the globe generated sharpening anxieties about the risks that those changes entailed. One result was an outpouring of roseate claims about capitalism and its ability to control those risks, including the use of new techniques of "risk management" to tame financial …
