«Un libro intelligente e deciso.» The New York Times - Paul Krugman «La lotta che racconta Elizabeth Warren è quella combattuta dall''America progressista nell''ultimo mezzo secolo. » Il Manifesto «Un grido d’allarme contro la nuova oligarchia.» Kirkus Review Quella di Elizabeth Warren è una delle voci progressiste più coraggiose tra quelle che si sono levate in questi anni in difesa dei diritti civili e delle famiglie, di una società più giusta e meno conflittuale. In questo libro – ai primi posti delle classifiche americane dei bestseller – Elizabeth Warren racconta la propria storia, le battaglie combattute con tenacia in anni di attivismo, e il progetto di una nuova America che deve rinascere dai problemi e dall’isolamento di quest’epoca. Criticando ferocemente le scelte delle big corporation e il potere enorme delle grandi istituzioni finanziarie, Warren si schiera al fianco dei lavoratori, degli studenti, di chi non ha accesso a cure mediche; e con grande concretezza invita chiunque abbia a cuore il futuro della democrazia a farsi carico del destino del proprio Paese, per non arrendersi e continuare a guardare con fiducia e speranza al futuro. Perché «se mai c’è stato un momento per combattere, quel momento è arrivato».

Como uma mãe de classe média se tornou uma das senadoras mais influentes dos Estados Unidos. Um dos nomes mais relevantes na corrida presidencial dos Estados Unidos em 2016, a senadora Elizabeth Warren é um retrato perfeito da realização do sonho americano: filha de um zelador e uma telefonista, venceu as dificuldades da família e o lugar-comum da época, de que o principal objetivo de toda mulher era conseguir um bom casamento. Tornou-se professora em Harvard, atuou como consultora do Congresso americano e assistente do presidente Barack Obama na implantação de uma agência nacional de proteção financeira do consumidor e, aos 62 anos, elegeu-se senadora pelo estado de Massachusetts. Especializada na Lei de Falências americana, Elizabeth projetou-se nos cenários acadêmico e político ao comprovar, com uma série inédita de estudos e levantamentos de dados financeiros, que, diferentemente do que se pregava, a falência não é resultado exclusivo de más escolhas dos endividados, mas também dos abusos cometidos pelas instituições financeiras. Dessa constatação em diante, sua carreira tornou-se uma batalha constante em favor da proteção das famílias em situação de endividamento – uma vez resguardadas das arbitrariedades bancárias, todas as pessoas podem ter uma chance de lutar, assim como ela teve um dia. Neste relato apaixonado, Elizabeth deixa transparecer a fibra que a fez chegar onde está. Fica clara também a abrangência de seus conceitos sobre endividamento e o sistema financeiro, que extrapolam o cenário norte-americano. Em essência, porém, o que se lê é a história de uma trajetória universal, de uma pessoa que não acredita em contabilizar e pesar vitórias e derrotas, mas, sim, em travar as batalhas nas quais realmente acredita. Elizabeth Warren é figura de destaque no cenário político americano. Considerada uma das maiores especialistas na Lei de Falências, ela é um nome forte nas discussões sobre o papel dos bancos na economia, sua influência política e o sistema financeiro em geral.

The abuse of the revolving door between government service and the private sector can corrupt government decision-making. Current federal ethics laws that are supposed to regulate the revolving door are overly complex and often insufficient to prevent conflicts of interest. Post-government employment restrictions remain an impossibly confusing “tangled mess” that hinders effective implementation and compliance – and keeps the revolving door spinning. Senator Warren commissioned this report to examine the revolving door of DoD officials currently working in the defense industry. The results confirm that the door is still spinning rapidly – highlighting the need for legislative and regulatory overhauls to address the problem.

This thesis examines an abusive relationship I had that lasted three and a half years. I''ve outlined why I was vulnerable to such a relationship---my parents'' marriage experiencing serious trouble; a car wreck that temporarily put me in a wheelchair; the rejection of the boyfriend who caused the wreck; and an overall need for love and stability. Craig, the abusive boyfriend, was older, and initially charming and loving. He also came from a devout churchgoing family, which both intimidated and enthralled me because my own family did not attend church. I decided if I could just become a "good Christian woman," I could have a perfect life and marriage. At first Craig seemed a perfect mate, but then he gradually became very controlling, and ultimately verbally and emotionally abusive. I''ve attempted to show both why I stayed for so long, and why I eventually left our relationship.

Teacher Manual/Learning Experiences: Foundation

This article draws upon data from a large empirical study of business bankruptcy cases to cast serious doubt upon two of the fundamental premises required to support claims that bankruptcy law should be replaced by default procedures established by contract. A number of proposals have been made to privatize the bankruptcy process by contract. The proponents of these contractualist approaches assume that default structures bargained in the marketplace will reduce transaction costs and improve post-default outcomes. Although these proposals necessarily affect materially the interests of third parties, their proponents suggest devices that are claimed to make that process efficient and non-redistributive. One premise underlying a contractual approach is that third parties can adjust their prices and terms to account for the effects of the proposed bankruptcy contracts. Prior scholarship has cast doubt on this premise by identifying categories of involuntary and maladjusting creditors who could not make such adjustments. This article for the first time quantifies that critique, showing that in most business bankruptcies there are many such involuntary or maladjusting creditors. Second, contractual theories necessarily assume that many or most business bankruptcies involve relatively few claims, because numerous claims, especially small ones, would impose transaction costs that are substantial enough to make individual negotiation or even unilateral adjustment by each creditor impossible. In fact, the data reveal that the typical business bankruptcy case presents many claims that are too small to be adjusting. These data demonstrate that a contractualist system will likely produce substantial inefficiencies, including a redistribution of wealth to the parties to the proposed bankruptcy contracts. The data support the superiority of a model of bankruptcy law that provides a non-waivable, collective infrastructure for the resolution of a multiparty economic problem.
