And Early Twentieth Centuries
A Broker's Duty of Best Execution in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Francis J. Facciolo' Introduction Although a broker-dealer's duty of best execution can now be located in federal common law, self-regulatory organization ("SRO") regulations, or state common law, the root of the doctrine is conventionally found in the third area, state law. In this view, the common law duty of best execution is a particular manifestation of a broker's more general duties as an agent to its customers.1 The duty of best execution may be broadly characterized as a fiduciary one, or as a2 limited duty, due with respect only to a particular purchase or sale. Even in jurisdictions where a broker is not a fiduciary, however, courts require brokers, as agents, to give best execution to their customers.3 One well known treatise has summarized the common law duty of best execution as consisting of three things: "the duty to execute promptly; the duty to execute in an appropriate market; and the duty to obtain the best price.'A Different types of customers put differing .

W08-POZEN.V2 3/19/2008 4:02:30 PM WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS NOW David E. Pozen* A funny thing happened to the entrepreneur in legal, business, and social science scholarship. She strayed from her capitalist roots, took on more and more functions that have little to do with starting or running a business, and became wildly popular in the process. Nowadays, “social entrepreneurs” tackle civic problems through innovative methods, “policy entrepreneurs” promote new forms of government action, “norm entrepreneurs” seek to change the way society thinks or behaves, and “moral entrepreneurs” try to alter the boundaries of duty or compassion. “Ethnification entrepreneurs,” “polarization entrepreneurs,” and other newfangled spinoffs pursue more discrete objectives. Entrepreneurial rhetoric has never been so trendy or so plastic. This Article documents the proliferation of entrepreneurs in the American academic idiom, and it offers some reflections on the causes and consequences of this trend. -

For Want of a Nail: If Burgoyne Had Won at Saratoga
For Want of a Nail: If Burgoyne Had Won at Saratoga 1853675040, 9781853675041. 442 pages. Greenhill Books/Lionel Leventhal, Limited, 2002. 2002. Robert Sobel. For Want of a Nail: If Burgoyne Had Won at Saratoga. For Want of a Nail is an alternate history classic. The outcome of one battle in the American Revolution diverges from reality, and sparks an unstoppable chain of events which affects the history of the whole North American continent. In reality, the British general John Burgoyne, heavily outnumbered by American troops, surrendered his army to General Horatio Gates at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, a major turning-point of the Revolution. Robert Sobel takes a step sideways and presents the alternative version: reinforcements arrive at Saratoga, Gates' men flee, and Burgoyne is victorious. Rather than openly allying itself with the American rebels, France withdraws its support, as does Spain, and the colonies surrender. Those former rebels who refuse to live in the Confederation of North America established by the British leave their homes and settle in what becomes the United States of Mexico. From then on the two continental nations find themselves constant rivals, locked in military, political and economic conflict. Sobel provides a detailed, intricately documented insight into two warring powers that develop in such dramatically different ways from their shared origins. file download neveh.pdf Stirling.

As of this decade, 53 percent of the equity in American cor- porations has passed into the hands of institutional shareholders: public pension funds, private pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, foundations, and managed trust funds.' In the nation's largest fifty companies, institutional investors own 50.1 percent of outstanding shares. In the next largest fifty companies, they own 59.2 percent of the shares. In some leading industries, the concentration is higher: 56 percent of the aerospace industry, 59 percent of the electrical industry, and 61 percent of the transportation industry. -
