• Treasury Inc.: How the Bailout Reshapes Corporate Theory and Practice

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...

• Farmers May Be in Short Supply Come the Election: Position

State Agriculture Commissioner Gus R. Douglass will leave a long legacy when he retires from the Department of Agriculture next year. Hell also leave behind some confusion. Its not his fault. West Virginia law says the agriculture commissioner shall be a practical farmer, learned in the science of agriculture, and shall have made agriculture his chief business for a period of ten years immediately preceding his election. Douglass is a lifelong farmer and still lives on the 540-acre farm where he grew up. But as candidates start lining up to take his office, state officials may soon be asking complicated questions. What is a practical farmer, for instance? And how much of a candidates income needs to come from farming for it to qualify as their chief business? The answer is as clear as m...

• U.S. Agricultural Programs: Who Pays?

In addition to a network of programs that affect commodity prices and make direct payments to farmers, there are subsidies for agricultural credit, soil and water conservation, research and education, crop insurance, exports of farm products, and nutrition programs. Other agricultural export subsidies - export credit guarantees and market-development funds - go to private companies and to state and regional trade groups to promote sales of U.S. farm products in foreign countries. [...] agricultural export subsidies help to insulate U.S. farmers from world market prices and are inconsistent with free trade.
