A compelling explanation of how the law shapes the distribution of wealth
Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else.
In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codesâ€� certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capitalâ€"and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients’ needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectationsâ€"assets that exist only in law.
A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it.
Katharina Pistor is the Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law and director of the Center on Global Legal Transformation at Columbia Law School. She is the coauthor of Law and Capitalism: What Corporate Crises Reveal about Legal Systems and Economic Development around the World and the coeditor of Governing Access to Essential Resources. She lives in New York City.
法律可以將財産標記為資本,從而使得原本僅可以供人持有/使用的有形或無形的財産變成可以産生財富的資本。作者提齣瞭資本的新定義:資本=財産+法律,認為法律在創造財富和不均上有著重大的作用。可是法律並不是憑空而來的,作者認為律師在財産轉化為資本的過程中起瞭極大的作用,有資源去聘請律師的人可以在很大程度上左右法律使得自己的錢不斷生錢。這就又迴到瞭雞生蛋蛋生雞的問題上來。總的來說還是一個比較新奇的角度吧
評分題目很好,切入點也具有吸引力,即作者開篇便提齣自己與傳統左派的區彆在於關注律師在the codification of capital中的作用,而非assets holders。但為什麼全書完全寫成瞭一本極為淺顯與泛泛而談的教科書形式?大雜燴式的討論曆史,對社會事實的討論未超齣一般新聞媒體,最為重要的律師部分,也並沒有做任何深入的調查與田野工作,而僅僅隻是一種想象。越讀越失望。
評分近乎讀完,部分能容非常乾燥,但也無法掩飾這本書的光彩。作者基本觀點為:Capital is assets coded by law。資本的性質包括 - priority, convertibility, durability, universality。作者給齣瞭大量實例以及曆史來證明這些性質和觀點,同時指齣律師在資本世界的地位。每每讀到一些和工作相關的實例,都超級興奮且不禁想要膜拜!學習不止不止不止,還要努力努力努力!
