And How to Be Rid of Them: A Plan B for Human Rights

The definitive account of the harms that have come from deregulating venture capital financing and allowing startups to become gigantic while remaining private. The term "unicorn" for a private startup company worth $1 billion or more was coined to emphasize the rarity of such ventures. But today there are more than 1,500 of them, with a combined valuation of over $4 trillion. By remaining private, these corporate behemoths shield themselves from disclosure requirements, investor oversight, and market discipline-mechanisms designed to protect investors and the public from corporate wrongdoing. It's no coincidence that in recent years, a number of prominent startups have been the sites of founder misconduct and fraud. This wave of startup scandals exposes significant problems with the venture capital financing model and the deregulation that helped fuel the industry's explosive growth. Untamed Unicorns connects the most dramatic startup scandals, including FTX, Theranos, WeWork, and Uber, to structural flaws in the startup financing model. Detailing the deregulatory reforms implemented by Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission over the past 40 years, it shows how these have eroded core safeguards of securities law that were first established during the New Deal era. As Renée Jones makes clear, allowing unicorn companies to run wild doesn't threaten only the sophisticated venture capitalists who finance Silicon Valley. When the largest startups go awry, the consequences are often severe for ordinary investors, employees, and the public at large. Revealing the risks inherent in the current system, Untamed Unicorns presents a roadmap for reform to restore proper boundaries between public and private securities markets.

Harvard Series in Ukrainian Studies

The biblical image of David and Goliath captures fittingly the nature of the war that Russia, the world's largest country by surface area, unleashed on neighboring Ukraine, a country that-while still the largest on the European continent-is almost thirty times smaller and has only over a quarter of Russia's population. Yet Ukraine's stubborn resistance proves that it is possible to mount a successful defense against an enormously larger, more populous, and better equipped enemy, even despite its threats of nuclear apocalypse should Ukraine refuse to submit and the West dare to interfere. This volume shows that history can help reveal the reasons for Ukraine's resolve and success on the battlefield and in the public arena. Collected in David and Goliath for the first time are short essays, commentaries, and interviews written and given by Serhii Plokhy, the world's preeminent scholar of Ukrainian history, on the eve and during the first two years of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Plokhy draws our attention to the unique nature of the truly historic events of the largest war in Europe since the end of World War II.

Fentanyl is a first-person, insider account of how the crisis consumed the Biden Administration amid a series of other national security emergencies. It follows Jake Braun, a senior White House official, and his colleagues while they scramble to respond to the epidemic. As Mexican cartels ruthlessly executed their most radical transformation in 50 years, Braun and his colleagues architected the first U.S. government wide strategy to combat fentanyl in history. The effort brought him to Mexico to meet with Mexican agents who kick down cartel doors for the U.S. government there. He also spent time with data analytics wizards buried in nondescript offices in Virginia suburbs that hunt down Chinese fentanyl precursor chemicals on the Dark Web. He even takes a detour to gather intelligence from Russian migrants in U.S. detention facilities that migrated through cartel-controlled areas of Mexico. In the process, Braun uncovered the remarkable transformation cartels in Mexico underwent over the last 50 years. They morphed from narco-empires the size of Fortune 50 companies specializing in marijuana and cocaine to ones specializing in human migration and, separately, fentanyl. After much painstaking effort, the Biden Administration successfully executed the most sweeping takedown of cartel leadership and fentanyl infrastructure since the crisis began. Due to the efforts of heroic agents, intelligence officers and national security experts, the leviathan U.S. government is now marshaled in ways never before imagined against the Chinese chemical companies and cartels propagating the fentanyl epidemic. Further, the strategy seems to be working. Just a year after it was kicked off, the fentanyl fatalities dropped nearly 37%. Yet the crisis persists. Finally, Braun draws on his unique experience combating the epidemic to outline how the U.S. government can once and for all end the fentanyl crisis in America.

Following on the success of Tough Cases, called "A law buff's dream" by headbutler.com, Challenging Cases collects judges' firsthand stories of deciding cases when the world is watching Most cases that judges decide garner little public attention. But occasionally, a case is tried both in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion. In Challenging Cases, some of the country's leading jurists talk about the most high-profile cases they've handled--ones where the eyes of the world were upon them. Whether the defendant was a beloved major league baseball player, a movie star, or a well-known sex-offender, or whether the topic addressed an especially contentious aspect of the culture wars, these cases played out before millions of on-lookers, adding a whole new dimension to what is already a Solomonic responsibility. In their previous book, Tough Cases, called "an unprecedented view from the bench" by legal commentator Greta van Susteren, and "a genuine revelation" by Justin Driver in The Washington Post, Judges Canan, Mize, and Weisberg made us privy to the thought processes of judges making some of their hardest legal decisions. In Challenging Cases, over a dozen judges from courts in DC, Texas, Seattle, Michigan, Maine, Buffalo, Virginia, and more speak to the added challenge of trials involving high-profile defendants. Cases include: <ul> <li>the perjury trial of Roger Clemens </li><li>the sentencing of January 6th rioters </li><li>the case of Dr. Larry Nassar, accused of the sexual abuse of hundreds of female athletes </li><li>the Kosovo international war crimes trial </li><li>the Johnny Depp trial</li></ul> Providing the fodder for a whole new season of Law and Order, Challenging Cases is for every actual and armchair legal beagle in the country.

Studies in Private International Law

This book examines the convergences, divergences and reciprocal lessons that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)share with one another in developing the principles of private international law.


The chapters provide a thematic understanding of the cornerstones of private international law in each of the BRICS countries: namely, (1) the procedure to initiate claims in civil and commercial matters, (2) the law that would govern such matters in litigation and arbitration, as well as (3) the mechanism to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards.


Written by leading private international law scholars and practitioners, the chapters draw on domestic legislation and its interpretation through cases decided by the courts in each of these emerging economies, and explicitly cover the rules applicable in contractual and non-contractual concerns and issues of choice of court agreements. Issues around marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, succession and surrogacy are also addressed, considering the implication of such aspects through the increased movement of persons.


The book is a useful comparative resource for the governments of the BRICS countries, legislators, traders, academics, researchers and students looking for an in-depth discussion of the reciprocal lessons that these countries may have to offer one another on these issues.
