Citizen Capitalism: How A Universal Fund Can Provide Influence And Income To All (2019), Lynn A. Stout, Sergio Gramitto, Tamara Belinfanti

Books

Corporations have a huge influence on the life of every citizen--this book offers a visionary but practical plan to give every citizen a say in how corporations are run while also gaining some supplemental income. It lays out a clear approach that uses the mechanisms of the private market to hold corporations accountable to the public.

This would happen through the creation of what the authors call the Universal Fund, a kind of national, democratic, mega mutual fund. Every American over eighteen would be entitled to a share and would participate in directing its share voting choices. Corporations and wealthy …

Cryptocurrencies: An Introduction For Policy Makers, Brian Conley, Jeffrey Echert, Andrew Fuller, Heather Lewis, Charlotte Lunday

Technology Law and Public Policy Clinic

Cryptocurrencies are open-source, peer-to-peer digital currencies. Two of their most distinctive features include the use of public key cryptography to secure transactions and create additional currency units, as well as the decentralized nature of their digital payment systems. The underlying technical system which all cryptocurrencies are modelled after is that of the original cryptocurrency,

Bitcoin.

Bitcoin was created by “Satoshi Nakamoto” a person or group credited with writing the first paper on the digital currency in 2008. Certain key elements differentiate cryptocurrencies from traditional electronic currency systems such as electronic banking and PayPal, most notably their decentralized control mechanisms. That …

Crytographic Currencies From A Tech-Policy Perspective: Policy Issues And Technical Directions, Emily Mcreynolds, Adam Learner, Will Scott, Franziska Roesner, Tadayoshi Kohno

Tech Policy Lab

We study legal and policy issues surrounding crypto currencies, such as Bitcoin, and how those issues interact with technical design options. With an interdisciplinary team, we consider in depth a variety of issues surrounding law, policy, and crypto currencies—such as the physical location where a crypto currency’s value exists for jurisdictional and other purposes, the regulation of anonymous or pseudonymous currencies, and challenges as virtual currency protocols and laws evolve. We reflect on how different technical directions may interact with the relevant laws and policies, raising key issues for both policy experts and technologists.

The Church And The Usurers: Unprofitable Lending For The Modern Economy, Brian Mccall

Faculty Books and Book Chapters

Professor McCall explains in a scholarly yet accessible manner the core principles of the usury doctrine. Tracing its history from Biblical texts, through Aristotelian philosophy and Roman law, to the great scholastic synthesis, Professor McCall separates the unchanging principles from the changes in their applications to new economic realities. With debt, personal, business and government spiraling out of control and massive insolvencies of ancient nations like Greece, contemporary economic theory has offered little in response. Professor McCall contributes the wisdom of the centuries in a concise and readable study.

Challenges Facing Investment Disputes: Reconsidering Dispute Resolution In International Investment Agreements, Susan Franck

Contributions to Books

International investment and international investment agreements have experienced a particular level of growth in the past few decades. With that growth and the granting of affirmative dispute resolution rights to foreign investors, international investment conflict has become increasingly highlighted; and one particular methodology - namely investment treaty arbitration - has become particularly visible. Reliance on this single option for resolving conflict has a unique set of systemic implications. This chapter therefore takes a more systemic look at investment treaty conflict and, in an effort to provide an appropriate historical and doctrinal framework, approaches to dispute resolution broadly. It asks for …

Democratizing Capital: The History, Law And Reform Of The Community Reinvestment Act, Richard D. Marsico

Books

Since 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) has required banks to meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low-income neighborhoods. Since then, banks have committed to make more than $1 trillion in loans for housing, small businesses, small farms, and economic development in low-income neighborhoods. Despite this record, the CRA and its implementing regulations have been unsatisfactory to banks, advocates, and even bank regulators charged with enforcing the law. Author Richard Marsico traces this dissatisfaction to an imbalance in banking regulators' resolution of the CRA's tension between requiring banks to lend to low-income neighborhoods, but not requiring them …
