Summary

“Professor Coffee's compelling new approach to holding fraudsters to account is indispensable reading for any lawmaker serious about deterring corporate crime.” 
—Robert Jackson, former Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission  
 
In the early 2000s, federal enforcement efforts sent white collar criminals at Enron and WorldCom to prison. But since the 2008 financial collapse, this famously hasn't happened. Corporations have been permitted to enter into deferred prosecution agreements and avoid criminal convictions, in part due to a mistaken assumption that leniency would encourage cooperation and because enforcement agencies don't have the funding or staff to pursue lengthy prosecutions, says distinguished Columbia Law Professor John C. Coffee. “We are moving from a system of justice for organizational crime that mixed carrots and sticks to one that is all carrots and no sticks,” he says.  
 
He offers a series of bold proposals for ensuring that corporate malfeasance can once again be punished. For example, he describes incentives that could be offered to both corporate executives to turn in their corporations and to corporations to turn in their executives, allowing prosecutors to play them off against each other. Whistleblowers should be offered cash bounties to come forward because, Coffee writes, “it is easier and cheaper to buy information than seek to discover it in adversarial proceedings.” All federal enforcement agencies should be able to hire outside counsel on a contingency fee basis, which would cost the public nothing and provide access to discovery and litigation expertise the agencies don't have. Through these and other equally controversial ideas, Coffee intends to rebalance the scales of justice.

    Lex Fullarton takes a closer look at the three pillars of the sustainable development framework known as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL).  The concept of the TBL is that for a project to be sustainable it must not simply be profitable in economic terms, but it must also benefit society and enhance the natural environment.

In the 21st century, the greatest threat to Earth’s natural environment and the population of the planet is the rise of greenhouse gas emissions caused from burning fossil fuel as an energy source.  The rise of GHG emissions has resulted in a rise in the ambient air temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and is resulting in a significant change in climatic conditions on Earth.

Fullarton scrutinizes the problem of getting industry and governments to understand the significance of creating harmony within the TBL. One of the main problems is that partisan politics tends to fragment the factors of the TBL rather than bring them together. Fullarton takes a strong stand in suggesting that taxation systems, which have traditionally been viewed primarily as a means of raising government finance, can be effectively applied to influence industrial and consumer attitudes towards transiting away from polluting fossil-fuel energy sources towards non-polluting renewable energy use.

    When therapists diagnose, there's a risk of overlooking aspects that don't fit the diagnosis while focusing too much on those that do. It's crucial to treat each patient uniquely rather than fitting them into predefined categories. Addressing intimacy issues is vital, and therapists shouldn't shy away from building intimate connections with their patients, as genuine self-expression fosters effective therapy. 
Receiving personal treatment offers valuable positive support. Patients remember the encouragement from their therapists more than the specific procedures. The profound impact comes from feeling completely understood. Therapists enhance their understanding by knowing a patient's history, allowing them to better see the world from the patient's perspective. Cultivating empathy is crucial, helping patients form and sustain meaningful connections. 
Therapists may make mistakes, and it's essential to admit and discuss them openly with patients, setting a positive example. Tailoring methods to each patient's unique case is crucial, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Beneficial therapy experiences often involve relational aspects beyond the session, such as spontaneous calls or attending significant events. Therapists should acknowledge the inequality in attention and assure patients that it's part of the process. Demonstrating personal care, beyond professional duty, reinforces the importance of each patient.
