  • Read the Journal
    Journal Jesse Bia Professor Peck ENG 252 2/5/2009 Introduction This journal is designed to be both objective and subjective at the same time. The focus of each entry is what I felt the Director’s vision for each particular show, was regardless of the previous histories of representation; the focus is on just the specific versions of the shows we have seen. Once laying out what I believe this vision to be, which is essentially my thesis, I then look at the various aspects of the show which contribute to or detract from the stated vision and goal for each production. Each entry is divided into four parts, the first three of which are meant to be object and thus written in a more academic matter, and last fourth meant to be subjective and thus written slightly less formally. These four parts are as follows: Overall Synopsis and Director’s Vision: In this section I briefly lay out and define what I feel the Director’s vision for the show, and what overall message the show was trying to deliver; essentially, what was the goal of the show itself. Setting: In the setting section I focus on the various sets, props, chronological placement (time in history in which show takes places), lighting, sound, music and even the actual theatre itself, to see how these physical aspects of the show contribute to the overall goal and vision of the show. Audience and Intention: Here I focus on two things. Firstly, who is this show designed for? Adults, children, or both? A certain nationality perhaps? Secondly, I focus on the actor’s performance, their stage directions, and the overall presenting of the play, to see how this contributes to the overall vision and goal of the show.

  • Financial Innovation, Leverage, Bubbles and the Distribution of Income
    2010-2011 FINANCIAL INNOVATION & DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME 225 FINANCIAL INNOVATION, LEVERAGE, BUBBLES AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME MARGARET M. BLAIR* I. Introduction Although Congress has passed and the President has signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, one of the most important problems facing regulators is scarcely addressed in the bill, leaving it to regulators to address as they work out the details of a new regulatory scheme. This is that financial innovation has made it possible for financial firms to utilize vastly too much “leverage”—to supply too much credit to others and to borrow too much in order to provide this credit. The effect has been a financial system in the U.S. (and globally as well) that is too large in several senses: it uses too much debt, it creates too much credit, it thereby fuels asset bubbles that expose the rest of the economy to too much risk and its employees and investors are paid too much because they are generally paid for appearing to add value, even if the value later evaporates when the bubbles burst. This assertion challenges the pre-financial crisis conven- tional view that the growth and innovativeness of the financial sector unequivocally improve the efficiency with which investors save and capital is aggregated and deployed to finance productive investment,1 * Professor of Law and Milton R. Underwood Chair in Free Enterprise, Vanderbilt University Law School. The first draft of this article was developed for a con- ference of the Tobin Project in May 2010.
