Guaconomics: Dipping a Chip Into America's Besieged Party Bowl

Guaconomics: Dipping a Chip Into America's Besieged Party Bowl

Jeremy Bagott

Band of Investment Publishing Co.
2018

The American party platter is on performance enhancers - in some cases literally. The salty snacks, chicken wings, suds and crustaceans have never been more plentiful, but the regulatory state and the forces of globalization have created big distortions and nurtured hidden risks. Globalization's grocery bill is coming due. The table is now set for upheaval.

Hoisting the flag of waste and abuse, the author, a former newspaperman, issues a clarion call. He takes the reader deep inside a tiny Washington, D.C., foundation that has managed to have its copyrighted code of conduct enshrined in federal and state law. All 50 states, even the U.S. territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, now enforce it. The nonprofit has parlayed the arrangement into a lucrative publishing cartel with top officers and favored trustees jet-setting to Europe and Asia. Stateside, the group hosts officials of an obscure federal agency in winter playgrounds like Pasadena, Scottsdale and West Palm Beach. The agency wet-nurses the nonprofit with guaranteed public grants topping $1 million some years. The author interweaves vivid scene-setting and thoughtful analysis with the surprising comments of stone-honest civil servants, double-talking careerists and anonymous fixers deep in the plumbing of state and federal government. On his journey, the author is jolted by an epiphany.

The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown

The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown

Jeremy Bagott

Band of Investment Publishing Co.
2020

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 was cataclysmic. Its bitter legacy will be felt for decades. The author, a former newspaper editor, walks the reader through the smoldering wreckage of a crisis that took the global financial system to the edge of the abyss. He delivers a well-crafted, concise almanac to the crisis that includes essays, chronologies, roundups and lists. "The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown" is no fusty treatise. Like a modern-day Jacques Cousteau, the author, grasping to explain the collectively suicidal behavior leading up to the debacle, turns his gaze upon so-called "biological markets."

Intimate Partner Violence in New Orleans

Intimate Partner Violence in New Orleans

Ashley Baggett

University Press of Mississippi
2017
sidottu
Ashley Baggett uncovers the voices of abused women who utilized the legal system in New Orleans to address their grievances from the antebellum era to the end of the nineteenth century. Poring over 26,000 records, Baggett analyzes 421 criminal cases involving intimate partner violence – physical or emotional abuse of a partner in a romantic relationship – revealing a significant demand among women, the community, and the courts for reform in the postbellum decades. Before the Civil War, some challenges and limits to the male privilege of chastisement existed, but the gendered power structure and the veil of privacy for families in the courts largely shielded abusers from criminal prosecution. However, the war upended gender expectations and increased female autonomy, leading to the demand for and brief recognition of women’s right to be free from violence. Baggett demonstrates how postbellum decades offered a fleeting opportunity for change before the gender and racial expectations hardened with the rise of Jim Crow. Her findings reveal previously unseen dimensions of women’s lives both inside and outside legal marriage and women’s attempts to renegotiate power in relationships. Highlighting the lived experiences of these women, Baggett tracks how gender, race, and location worked together to define and redefine gender expectations and legal rights. Moreover, she demonstrates recognition of women’s legal personhood as well as differences between northern and southern states’ trajectories in response to intimate partner violence during the nineteenth century.
