On tax day, April 15, 2010, hundreds of thousands of Americans
demonstrated with signs demanding lower taxes on the richest one
percent. Where do protest movements like this come from? Rich
people are an unpopular minority with plenty of political
influence. Why would rich people need to demonstrate in the streets
to demand lower taxes-and why would anyone who wasn't rich join in
the protest on their behalf? Such rich people's movements are hardy
perennials of American politics. Ever since the ratification of the
Sixteenth Amendment in 1913, they have emerged whenever public
policies are perceived to threaten the property rights of rich
people. The protesters on behalf of the rich have picked up the
protest tactics of the poor and powerless because they have been
organized and led by activists who have acquired their skills and
protest techniques from other social movements, from the Populists
and Progressives of the early twentieth century to the feminists
and anti-war activists of the mid-twentieth century. At times when
conservative Republicans are in power, rich people's movements have
helped to bring about some of the biggest tax cuts for the rich in
American history. This is the untold story of the tax clubs and Tea
Parties that have shaped American politics and policy for the last
hundred years.
From 2007 to 2012, almost five percent of American adults-about ten
million people-lost their homes because they could not make
mortgage payments. The scale of this home mortgage crisis is
unprecedented-and it's not over. Foreclosures still displace more
American homeowners every year than at any time before the
twenty-first century. The dispossession and forced displacement of
American families affects their health, educational success, and
access to jobs. It continues to block any real recovery in the
hardest-hit communities. While we now know a lot about how this
crisis affected the global economy, we still know very little about
how it affected the people who lost their homes. Foreclosed America
offers the first representative portrait of those people-who they
are, how and where they live after losing their homes, and what
they have to say about their finances, their neighborhoods, and
American politics. It is a sobering picture of Americans down on
their luck, and of a crisis that is testing American democracy.
On tax day, April 15, 2010, hundreds of thousands of Americans took
to the streets with signs demanding lower taxes on the richest one
percent. But why? Rich people have plenty of political influence.
Why would they need to publicly demonstrate for lower taxes-and why
would anyone who wasn't rich join the protest on their behalf?
Isaac William Martin shows that such protests long predate the Tea
Party of our own time. Ever since the Sixteenth Amendment
introduced a Federal income tax in 1913, rich Americans have
protested new public policies that they thought would threaten
their wealth. But while historians have taught us much about the
conservative social movements that reshaped the Republican Party in
the late 20th century, the story of protest movements explicitly
designed to benefit the wealthy is still little known. Rich
People's Movements is the first book to tell that story, tracking a
series of protest movements that arose to challenge an expanding
welfare state and progressive taxation. Drawing from a mix of
anti-progressive ideas, the leaders of these movements organized
scattered local constituencies into effective campaigns in the
1920s, 1950s, 1980s, and our own era. Martin shows how protesters
on behalf of the rich appropriated the tactics used by the
Left-from the Populists and Progressives of the early twentieth
century to the feminists and anti-war activists of the 1950s and
1960s. He explores why the wealthy sometimes cut secret back-room
deals and at other times protest in the public square. He also
explains why people who are not rich have so often rallied to their
cause.
For anyone wanting to understand the anti-tax activists of today,
including notable defenders of wealth inequality like the Koch
brothers, the historical account in Rich People's Movements is an
essential guide.
In the wake of the Great Recession of 2008-09, economists feared
that protectionist policies might sweep the world economy, echoing
the wave of tariff escalations during the Great Depression of the
1930s. To some surprise, officials were more restrained and largely
avoided traditional forms of protection (tariffs and quotas). As a
result, economists underestimated the incidence of new
protectionism because policymakers increasingly turned to more
opaque behind-the-border nontariff barriers (NTBs). Using a
combination of statistical analysis and case studies, the authors
show that local content requirements (LCRs), a form of NTB, have
become increasingly popular. How much was global trade actually
reduced on account of LCRs? A conservative estimate might be $93
billion. Case studies featured cover the healthcare sector in
Brazil, wind turbines in Canada, the automobile industry in China,
solar cells and modules in India, oil and gas in Nigeria, and "Buy
American" restrictions on government procurement.

This book presents an integrated approach to general questions of
European administrative law and offers some possible solutions to
the problems which it poses, the Treaty establishing a Constitution
for Europe being the point of reference. Under the Treaty general
questions of administrative law are no longer addressed merely in a
fragmented or incidental way but as a discipline that governs the
exercise of sovereign powers by a supranational entity. This calls
for a detailed examination of the fields which comprise European
administrative law and the book therefore examines in some detail
the key areas of rulemaking powers and normative instruments, the
implications of the Charter of Fundamental Rights for European and
national administrations, administrative procedure, and judicial
protection within the European Union. The Foreword to the book is
written by Professor Carol Harlow.
