  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

    www.capsindia.org IN FOCUS 11MAR 2014 THE BIG QUESTION: IS CHINA FACING A FINANCIAL CRISIS, OR NOT? Prerna Gandhi Research Associate, CAPS In a first for Chinese Banks, four of them made history recently. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) unseated Exxon Mobil last year to take the top spot on the Forbes Global 2000i as the world’s largest company. China Construction Bank moved up 11 spots to number 2 on the list. Agricultural Bank of China stood at number 8 and Bank of China with its double digit growth in sales and profits, improved its ranking by 10 places to number 11ii. However what is more interesting is that ICBC, world’s largest and most profitable bank was itself on the verge of defaulting until it was bailed out in January this year. A 3 billion Yuan (around US$500 million) product issued by China Credit Trust Co., a shadow bank and marketed through ICBC was underpinned by a loan to a mining operation of Shanxi Zhenfu Energy Group that later collapsed as the price of coal fell. Investors who had been promised a hefty 10% annual return over three years were told in January not to expect payment. Upset investors, some of whom had reportedly put as much as $500,000 each into the fund, sought reimbursement from the ICBC, who in turn, argued that it had never guaranteed the product, and had no legal responsibility to pay investors. However, the situation was retrieved by a bailout by an unnamed third party that ensured investors that they would recover their initial investment, though interest will not be paidiii.

  • BILLIONAIRE PANDEMIC WEALTH GAINS of 55%, OR $1.6 TRILLION, COME AMID THREE DECADES of RAPID WEALTH GROWTH April 15, 2021
    BILLIONAIRE PANDEMIC WEALTH GAINS OF 55%, OR $1.6 TRILLION, COME AMID THREE DECADES OF RAPID WEALTH GROWTH April 15, 2021 Whether measured over 13 months or 31 years, the growth of U.S. billionaire wealth is both astounding and troubling based on Forbes data as of April 12, 2021. Billionaire wealth growth has perversely accelerated over the 13 months of global pandemic. But the piling up of fortunes at the top has proceeded at a rapid clip for decades even as the net worth of working Americans lagged and public services deteriorated. Tax reforms of the type proposed by President Biden would begin to reverse these damaging trends. GROWTH OF BILLIONAIRE WEALTH DURING THE FIRST-THREE MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC Between March 18, 2020, and April 12, 2021,the collective wealth of American billionaires leapt by $1.62 trillion, or 55%, from $2.95 trillion to $4.56 trillion. [See data table here]. That increase in billionaire wealth alone could pay for nearly 70% of the 10-year, $2.3 trillion cost of President Biden’s proposed jobs and infrastructure plan—the American Jobs Plan. As of April 12, there were six American “centi-billionaires”—individuals each worth at least $100 billion [see table below]. That’s bigger than the size of the economy of each of 13 of the nation’s states. Here’s how the wealth of these ultra-billionaires grew during the pandemic: ● Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, almost a “double-centi-billionaire” with a net worth of nearly $197 billion, is up 74% over the last 13 months.

  • II. Anti-Inversion Rules, the Pfizer-Allergan Merger, and the US
    16 REVIEW OF BANKING & FINANCIAL LAW VOL. 36 II. Anti-Inversion Rules, the Pfizer-Allergan Merger, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Challenge A. Introduction: The Pfizer-Allergan Merger Blow- Up In April, 2016, U.S. pharma-juggernaut, Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer) and Irish pharmaceutical company Allergan, PLC (Allergan) cancelled both their $160 billion planned merger and relocation of Pfizer to Ireland.1 The failed merger, according to Bloomberg data, was the largest reported pharmaceutical merger in dollar value.2 As to what caused the failure, the companies blame the temporary Multiple Domestic Entity Acquisition Rule (Temporary Rule), which modifies the current anti-inversion regulation, 25 I.R.C. § 7874, and implements two intermittent notices, Notice 2014-52 and Notice 2015-79 (together, Notices).3 The Temporary Rule, released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury), was created to halt cross-border tax evasion maneuvers that previously allowed taxpayers to avoid the application of the Section 7874 inversion rules.4 The Pfizer-Allergan merger, which previously complied with the elements of Section 7874, blew-up when it was deprived of the tax benefits now prohibited by the Temporary Rule.5 Allergan’s CEO, Brent Saunders, stated that the Treasury 1 Richard Rubin, Business Groups Sue U.S. Government Over Tax-Inversion Rules, WALL ST.
