SUMMARY:What is Capitalism? Reading & Discussion Group with Jessica A. Shoemaker and James Fallows Tierney
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nWhat is Capitalism? Reading & Discussion Group \nDiscussion with Jessica A. Shoemaker and James Fallows Tierney featuring their co-authored article\, Trading Acres (forthcoming in Yale Law Journal 2025-26). \nExcerpt from the co-authors’ abstract: \nFarmland’s conversion into an asset class threatens rural livelihoods\, agriculture and food system resilience\, economic and spatial justice\, and—in our final estimation—democracy itself. \n… [H]istorically\, investor-owned farmland was seen as a deep and politically motivating threat to rural life. In this Article\, we argue that Wall Street’s arrival at rural America’s gate is not merely a market trend but rather the product of deep social choices governing the accumulation of investor wealth: property\, corporate\, and securities law. We explore the ways in which these deep structures of our legal system—from the primacy of market logics to a range of biases that skew our spatial\, temporal\, and social relations— constitute the conditions for this profound transformation in the way farmland\, as a basic and essential rural resource\, is being integrated into the modern capital economy. \nJessica A. Shoemaker is Steinhart Foundation Distinguished Professor of Law\, University of Nebraska College of Law. \nJames Fallows Tierney is Associate Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs\, Chicago-Kent College of Law. \nA draft of the article is available on SSRN here. \nREGISTER HERE
