SUMMARY:Possessive Individualism: A Crisis of Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Democracies around the world are confronting growing mistrust and alienation among citizens\, often thought to be caused by rising economic inequality and stagnant wages. On March 23\, 2021\, the Center for Governance and Markets welcomed Daniel Bromley\, Anderson-Bascom Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison\, for a conversation about his recent book\, Possessive Individualism: A Crisis of Capitalism (Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, as part of the Coexistence in Pluralistic Society seminar. \nPossessive individualism\, Bromley argues\, is dually shaped by untethered individually driven consumption and managerial capitalism which produces men and women who do not believe they owe anything to their communities or societies. This leads to rising societal alienation and mistrust in institutions\, which Bromley believes will grow exponentially if not adequately addressed. Central to this vision is a reimagining of the firm as a public trust in which we are as concerned about workers as we are with CEOs who\, in the US\, make nearly 300 times the pay of the average worker. \nMark Pennington\, Professor of Political Economy at King’s College London\, served as the featured discussant\, offering a principled and thought-provoking reply to Bromley’s argument. Professor Pennington agreed that inequality and alienation are problematic and should be addressed. However\, Pennington argues that these phenomena are not directly linked to possessive individualism and that they should be weighed against the significant positive impacts of capitalism. He points to the global reduction in poverty around the world and the overall increases in human well-being across diverse communities. Given this progress\, Pennington asks if we should be concerned with slightly rising income inequality in the UK or the US if\, on average\, individuals are much better off today than at any other point in history? \nTogether\, these contrasting perspectives offer much food for thought as to the origins of the current discontent with capitalism and what ought to be done about it\, as well as insights into the future of democracy and capitalism. \n\n\nSpeakers\nDaniel Bromley is emeritus Professor of applied economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and for decades served as the editor of Land Economics. His research contributes to institutional economics\, natural resource management\, environmental economics\, and democratic theory. He has written over 15 books\, including Sufficient Reason: Volitional Pragmatism and the Meaning of Economic Institutions (Princeton University Press\, 2009).\nMark Pennington is Professor of political economy and public policy at King’s College London\, where he directs the Centre for the Study of Governance and Society at King’s College London and recently served as head of the Department of Political Economy. Along with numerous books and articles on classical liberalism\, environmental policy and planning\, and political economy\, Pennington is the author of Robust Political Economy: Classical Liberalism and the Future of Public Policy (Edward Elgar Publishing\, 2011) which provides a comprehensive defense of classical liberalism.

SUMMARY:To What End? On Infrastructural Governance
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Governance and Markets hosted a talk by Brett Frischmann (Villanova University)\, on March 4\, 2021\, as part of the Future of Law in Technology and Governance virtual seminar series. Frischmann presented his research on infrastructure theory\, “To What End? On Infrastructural Governance.”  \nHis research focuses on the intersection of governance of the knowledge commons\, engineering human choices\, and the social value of infrastructure. When looking at new infrastructure possibilities\, especially those deemed as smart technology\, many designs aim for frictionless transactions for speed and efficiency. Frischmann strongly cautions against this\, arguing that purposefully building friction into systems allows for humans to deliberately engage with normative questions including how smart should infrastructure be? Should it be a CEO or software programmer who decides the value or logic system of a particular smart technology? These questions don’t have a right answer and the answers will likely vary from community to community. As such\, he shows\, a polycentric and careful approach to designing smart infrastructure is necessary.

SUMMARY:Community and Belonging in Fracturing Societies
DESCRIPTION:Universal human rights have long been regarded as a foundation to peaceful societies. Despite nearly three quarters of a century of this being the dominant theory within liberal governance and legal systems\, sustained peaceful coexistence between communities remains an ongoing global challenge. \nCGM hosted a discussion exploring whether the human rights regime approach structures peaceful societies. This event is part of CGM’s Coexistence in Pluralistic Societies virtual seminar series. \nAbout the Speakers \nAdam Seligman is Professor of Religion at Boston University and Director of CEDAR–Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion. \nDavid Montgomery is Associate Research Professor of Government and Politics at University of Maryland and Director of Program Development of CEDAR–Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion. \nJohn Holmwood is emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at University of Nottingham and Senior Researcher in the Centre for Science Technology and Society Studies of the Institute for Philosophy at the Czech Academy of Science.

SUMMARY:Competing Algorithms for Law: Sentencing\, Admissions\, and Employment
DESCRIPTION:Frank Fagan (EDHEC Business School) presented on his recent paper with Saul Levmore\, “Competing Algorithms for Law: Sentencing\, Admissions\, and Employment.” Algorithms increasingly pervade economic and social organization but their legal applications are just emerging. Fagan’s research explores the growing nexus of artificial intelligence and law\, specifically the use of sentencing algorithms to predict rates of recidivism. He argues that state-run competitions for sentencing algorithms could mitigate problems with retrofitting and disclosure. Fagan postulates that the powerful synthesis of competitive advantages for algorithms and human judges will guide innovation in law.

SUMMARY:Watched\, Stopped\, and Handcuffed: The Effects of Direct and Indirect Police Contact on the Health of Black Women
DESCRIPTION:Presented by April Fernandes\, North Carolina State University. \nIn the era of “new policing\,” the health consequences of increased surveillance\, stops and arrests on Black individuals and communities has become an important consideration. Most of the existing research focuses on Black men due to their disproportionate level of contact with law enforcement\, finding negative health impacts from various points of contact. However\, Black women remain often invisible in such work\, despite recent high profiles incidents of police violence (for notable exceptions\, see Sewell et al. 2016; Ritchie 2017; Richie 2012; Jacobs 2017; Fedina 2018). This study focuses on the physical and mental effects of both direct and indirect contact with law enforcement on Black women using a data set from the Black Families Project\, which only samples those who identify as Black or African American. \nView the talk here: Watched\, Stopped\, & Handcuffed: Effects of Police Contact on the Health of Black Women

SUMMARY:Governance in Digitalized Electricity Systems: The Economics of Transactive Energy
DESCRIPTION:Professor Kiesling (Carnegie Mellon University)\, with her colleague Dave Chassin\, presented on the potential for transactive energy to create more efficient electricity usage and distribution. Their research focuses on leveraging the technological dynamism of distributed energy resources (DERs) with the goal of enabling decentralized coordination that makes better use of resources through eliminating the need for hierarchical control in traditional electric power networks.

SUMMARY:The Rule of Code: Challenges in Regulating Decentralized Blockchain-based Systems
DESCRIPTION:Professor Wright (Cardozo Law\, Yeshiva University) presented on the emerging regulatory challenges surrounding public blockchains. He discussed how smart contracts are helping to create scarcity in the digital world and beginning to create a new commercial stack. Smart contracts tend to have designs that are alegal and are built on decentralized technologies that appear to have no center\, creating a host of regulatory issues. He argues that these challenges will require governments to adapt with new forms of laws\, regulations\, and rules outside of the typical bureaucratic approach.

SUMMARY:Going the Extra Mile: the Cost of Complaint Filing\, Accountability\, and Law Enforcement Outcomes in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:By Bocar Ba\, from University of California\, Irvine. \nWhile much of the economic literature has centered on the impact of policing on crime\, there is little empirical evidence evaluating the effect of oversight on police misconduct and use of force. I use novel data from the Chicago Police Department and a policy change that generates exogenous variation in the cost of filing a complaint. I find that civilians facing higher travel costs are less likely to complete the complaint filing process and more likely to experience police use of force. These effects are larger for residents of non-white areas. I estimate civilians’ complaint valuation and construct counterfactual scenarios. I find that the individuals who benefit most from oversight are those with the lowest valuation of their complaints. Simulated counterfactual scenarios show that reducing the cost of filing a complaint increases the number of completed complaints\, and thus the number of investigations. Under a policy that reduces the cost of complaining\, the number of sustained complaints about failure to provide service increases by 8.1%; the rate of sustained allegations of police brutality\, however\, falls by 9.8%. Complainants who would benefit the most from this policy are the ones seeking help from the police\, and who live in the most violent neighborhood of the city. This research sheds light on the complex relationship between public safety and the cost of reporting police misconduct. \nRead full article: here

SUMMARY:Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York
DESCRIPTION:Carl Suddler from Emory University presents his Book\, Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York. A stark disparity exists between black and white youth experiences in the justice system today. Black youths are perceived to be older and less innocent than their white peers. When it comes to incarceration\, race trumps class\, and even as black youths articulate their own experiences with carceral authorities\, many Americans remain surprised by the inequalities they continue to endure. In this revealing book\, Carl Suddler brings to light a much longer history of the policies and strategies that tethered the lives of black youths to the justice system indefinitely.

SUMMARY:The Siren Song: Algorithmic Governance By Blockchain
DESCRIPTION:Professor Werbach (University of Pennsylvania) argued that for blockchain-based networks and related services to succeed at scale\, they must directly engage with governance issues. Illustrating why interoperability and experimentation in various governance structures and protocols should be key considerations moving forward\, he explores toolkits for using blockchain as a governance mechanism.

SUMMARY:Capitalism after Satoshi: On the Economic Organization of a Digital Economy
DESCRIPTION:Professor Potts (RMIT\, Australia) illustrated how a blockchain economy destroys a corporate economy in the same way that a market economy destroyed the feudal economy. New economic infrastructure underpinned by blockchain – a public good – weakens and will outcompete hierarchic governance through lowering the cost of trust. This potentially dismantles the main rationale for regulatory governance of corporate forms. \nThis live event experienced connectivity issues causing a delay in screen sharing.
