Dr. Pistor will discuss themes from her latest book,The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality, which explores how the public institutions of the legal system—like property law or taxation—are used to create private wealth.
From corporations being granted “personhood” to the invisible structures that allow for the creation and use of tax havens, to rules that grant monopolies on inventions and ideas (intellectual property rights)—Dr. Pistor will share her insights on how the law is used to encode inequality into our social systems and what we can do to correct course.
