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...

Consumer protection in financial services has failed. A crisis is now playing itself out in the mortgage, credit card, auto loan, title loan, refund anticipation loan, and payday loan markets. Consumer protection was a traditional element of states' regulatory power until federal preemption ousted states from almost all direct regulation of federally chartered banks without substituting equivalent protections and enforcement. This article argues that one avenue may remain to permit states to engage in consumer-protection regulation of federally chartered banks. Recent changes in financial markets have placed the majority of consumer debt in the hands of secondary-market entities, such as securitization trusts and debt collectors, which are not protected by federal preemption. This artic...
