The financial crisis that gripped the U.S. in 2008 was unprecedented in type and magnitude. It began with an asset bubble in housing, expanded in the sub-prime mortgage crisis, escalated into a severe freeze-up of the inter-bank lending market, and culminated in intervention by the U.S. and other industrialised countries to rescue their banking systems. The centrepiece of the federal government's response to the financial crisis was the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), which authorised the Treasury Secretary to establish the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and created the Congressional Oversight Panel to oversee the TARP. This book examines the Congressional Oversight Panel's assessment of TARPS's progress at the end of its first full year existence, and reviews what TARP has accomplished to date and explores where it has fallen short.

What, exactly, is private property? Or, to ask the question another way, what rights to intrude does the public have in what is generally accepted as private property? The answer, perhaps surprisingly to some, is that the public has not only a significant interest in regulating the use of private property but also in defining it, and establishing its contour and texture. In The Public Nature of Private Property, therefore, scholars from the United States and the United Kingdom challenge traditional conceptions of private property while presenting a range of views on both the meaning of private property, and on the ability, some might say the requirement, of the state to regulate it.

Economic stagnation, financial crisis, and increasing inequality have provoked worldwide debate about the reshaping of the market economy. But few are willing to risk a reorientation of dominant ideas and a reform of entrenched structures. Right-wing populism has stepped into the void created by a failure to imagine structural alternatives. Tamara Lothian offers a deeper view showing the path to the reconstruction of the economy in the service of both growth and inclusion. She probes the institutional innovations that would reignite economic growth by democratizing the market. Progressives have traditionally focused only on the demand side of the economy, abandoning the supply side to conservatives. Law and the Wealth of Nations offers a progressive approach to the supply side of the economy and proposes innovation in our fundamental economic arrangements. Lothian begins by exploring how finance can serve broad-based economic growth rather than serving only itself. She goes on to show how the reform of finance can lead into the democratization of the economy. How, she asks, can we ensure that the most advanced, knowledge-intensive practices of production spread throughout the economy rather than remaining in the hands of the entrepreneurial and technological elite? How can we anchor greater economic equality and empowerment in the way we organize the economy rather than just trying to diminish inequalities after the fact by progressive taxation and entitlements? How can we revise legal thought and economic theory to develop the intellectual equipment that these tasks require? Law and the Wealth of Nations will appeal to all who are searching for ways to think practically about change in our economic and political institutions.

October 3, 2010 marked the second anniversary of the creation of TARP and the end of the authority to make new financial commitments. The government now has recovered most of the investments it made in the banks. Taxpayers will likely earn a profit on the investments the government made in banks and AIG, with TARP losses limited to investments in the auto industry and housing programs. Contents of this report: TARP Overview; Stabilization of the Financial Markets; TARP Program Descriptions; Retrospective on the TARP Housing Initiatives; Executive Compensation; U.S. Government as a Shareholder; Accountability and Transparency. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.
