We have generally analyzed and researched policies with an eye to achieving the greatest good for the greatest number, but we have always been mindful of the distributional effects of those policies and of globalization itself. Naturally, the Institute’s commitment, and our primary toolkit, is to think in terms of a purely economic cost-benefi t analysis point of view. But it is not always that straightforward, as the ethicists, philosophers, policymakers and economists taking on the issue in this volume suggest. As the Institute starts a new year with new leadership in 2013, we plan to begin confronting some of the policy failures of the last few years in the West, and the fl aws of the economic models underlying those failures. That is a necessary step to reconsidering how to manage globalization going forward. To this end, on January 7, we organized and hosted a path-breaking conference on “Ethics and Globalization: The Tradeoffs Underlying Our Policy Choices” at the Institute in Washington, DC. We brought together an unusual range of scholars and practitioners from different disciplines to engage with each other on the ethical and moral challenges posed by the accelerating pace of economic integration and the international fl ow of goods, services, capital, technology, people and ideas. This volume consists of edited transcripts of that day-long discussion. The Institute has of course long been proud to foster a spirited debate on this subject. One of our bestselling publications, for example, was Has Globalization Gone Too Far? (1997), by Dani Rodrik of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government (who participated in this conference). Rodrik’s challenge has led to other Institute publications, including Has Globalization Gone Far Enough? (2004) by Robert Z. Lawrence, a senior fellow at the Institute and a colleague of Rodrik’s at Harvard, and Scott C. Bradford. So we are no strangers to the debate. The idea for this focused ethics and globalization conference came together in interaction with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, which has generously supported our work on this innovative project. Along with a remarkable array of scholars and specialists, we were honored to have former Representative Barney Frank, who served in Congress as a Democrat from Massachusetts for 32 years, deliver the keynote address. Congressman Frank was a tireless champion of the disadvantaged throughout his career. He was also a resolute defender of international fi nancial institutions and the Federal Reserve, thus exemplifying the kind of balancing that ethical globalization requires. His keynote address appears in this volume as well. My opening remarks at the conference were entitled, “The Need for Challenging Choices,” and I meant that in two senses. First, we brought together on our panels and in our audience many infl uential people in public service and the private and nonprofi t sectors, and we were asking them to challenge the choices that many of them were already making. Second, I was trying to describe the nature of the challenging choices that confront us all. Our fi rst session was on the “Pursuit of Domestic vs. Global Welfare.” Its purpose was to shed light on how a policymaker, or someone leading in a democratic society, should be thinking about the benefi ts of economics for the globe as a whole versus that of their home constituency. One of the core beliefs at this Institute is that globalization has not only been ongoing, but has been overwhelmingly good on net for the world—the ultimate fact on the ground of globalization over the last 20 years is that a billion-and-a- half people

  • Value, Caution and Accountability in an Era of Large Banks and Complex Finance*
    2011-2012 BETTING BIG 765 BETTING BIG: VALUE, CAUTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN AN ERA OF LARGE BANKS AND COMPLEX FINANCE* LAWRENCE G. BAXTER** Abstract Big banks are controversial. Their supporters maintain that they offer products, services and infrastructure that smaller banks simply cannot match and enjoy unprecedented economies of scale and scope. Detractors worry about the risks generated by big banks, their threats to financial stability, and the way they externalize costs of operation to the public. This article explains why there is no conclusive argument one way or the other and why simple measures for restricting the danger of big banks are neither plausible nor effective. The complex ecology of modern finance and the management and regulatory challenges generated by ultra-large banking, however, cast serious doubt on the proposition that the benefits of big banking outweigh its risks. Consequently, two general principles are proposed for further consideration. First, big banks should bear a greater degree of public accountability by reforming certain principles of corporate governance to require greater representation of public interests at the board and executive levels of big banks. Second, given the unproven promises of performance by big banks, their unimpressive actual record of performance, and the many hazards they inevitably generate or encounter, financial regulators should consciously adopt a strict cautionary approach. Under this approach, big banks would bear a very heavy onus to demonstrate in concrete terms that their continued growth – and even the maintenance of their current scale – can be adequately managed and supervised. * © Lawrence G. Baxter. ** Professor of the Practice of Law, Duke Law School.

  • Why Did “We” Not Work?
    LANGEVOORT.PRINTER.UPDATED (DO NOT DELETE) 7/18/2021 5:50 PM Corporate Adolescence: Why Did “We” Not Work? * Donald C. Langevoort and Hillary A. Sale In academic and public commentary, entrepreneurial finance is usually portrayed as a quintessential American success story, an institutional structure whereby expert venture capitalists with strong reputational incentives channel much-needed equity to deserving entrepreneurs, then subject them to intense monitoring to assure they stay on the path to hoped- for success in the form of an initial public offering or public company acquisition.1 Thus, it is jarring that in recent years there have been so many troubles, from gross embarrassments to allegations of outright criminality, at companies like Uber, Theranos, and our subject here, WeWork. These dramas are often portrayed in terms of the predictable sins of youthfulness: reckless, disruptive, risk-taking behaviors that come from the volatile interaction of a charismatic young leader and a cult(ure) of STEM-smart followers who buy into the dream.2 * The authors thank Craig Lewis, Sharon Nellis, and Elizabeth Pollman for their helpful comments and Olivia Brown, Samantha Glazer, Hollie Chenault, Claire Creighton, Jing Xu, and Michael Marcus for their research, insights, and good humor. 1.

After the success of the sales of Rothschild Collections in London, Geneva and New York, Christie’s France is delighted to have been chosen as the auctioneer to hold the sale of works of art from the Estate of a member of the French branch of this illustrious family. The pieces to be included in the sale comprise French furniture and works of art, Asian art, silver, porcelain, maiolicas and paintings. Estate of Baron Fould-Springer Max Fould-Springer (1906 – 1999) was born in Vienna to an Austrian mother, whose family had businesses in Central Europe and France, and to a French father, descending from the illustrious Fould family of bankers that goes back to the Second Empire. Although he felt profoundly French throughout his life, his name - which was ennobled by Emperor François- Joseph of Austria (1830-1916) – made him a faithful adherent and supporter of both cultures. Though not a passionate collector, Baron Fould-Springer had a great sense of taste and an incomparable talent for successfully combining works of art and objects from different periods and styles, many of which were acquired by his father, Baron Eugène Fould-Springer, in the 19th century.

SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

  • Democratic Money
    Democratic Money: A Populist Perspective with Lawrence Goodwyn and William Greider Remarks presented on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Populist Sub-Treasury Plan for financial reform 9 December 1989, St. Louis, Missouri Introduction by Tom Schlesinger Director, Southern Finance Project It was a resigned, plaintive-sounding analogy but it spoke volumes about the roaring ’80s. "I don’t think it is healthy to have this dramatic concentration of financial power," investment banker Felix Rohatyn told the New York Times in 1988. "But it’s just like the nuclear age, you can never uninvent the atomic bomb any more than you can uninvent these astronomical capital markets." Maybe so. But Mr. Rohatyn’s financial world, for all its explosive effects on American society in the past decade, has proven to be eerily fragile as well as inordinately powerful. In fact, that world is no more permanent than those created by the crop lien system in the 1880s or stock watering in the 1920s. To reckon with a system that appears to have spun so majestically out of control, it helps to consider America’s historical record of financial disorders -- and of ordinary citizens organizing themselves to "uninvent" the problem. There’s no more telling example than the Gilded Age and the biracial agrarian firestorm it provoked called Populism. The Populist movement built itself on a model of economic cooperation intended to combat the two sources of financial pressure that plagued farm communities 100 years ago -- vise-like credit conditions and a pinched, inflexible currency. By the end of the 1880s, hundreds of thousands of Americans had been drawn to Populism’s organizational seedbed, the Farmers Alliance, through its cooperatives and vibrant system of grassroots education.
