  A history of the struggle for debtors’ rights from the Civil War to the Great Depression 
   
  What can be taken from someone who has borrowed money and cannot repay? What do the victims of misfortune owe to their lenders, and what can they keep for themselves? The answers to those questions, immensely important for debtors, creditors, and society at large, have changed over time. The Price of Misfortune examines the cause of debtors’ rights in the modern United States and the struggles of reformers who fought to establish financial freedoms in law. 
    
  Daniel Platt shows how, in the wake of the Civil War, a range of advocates drew potent analogies between slavery, imprisonment for debt, and the experiences of wage garnishment and property foreclosure. He traces the ways those analogies were used to campaign for bold new protections for debtors, keeping them secure in their labor, property, and personhood. Yet, as Platt demonstrates, those reforms tended to assume as their ideal borrower someone who was white, propertied, and male. In subsequent decades, the emancipatory promise of debtors’ rights would be tested as women, wage earners, and African Americans seized on their language to challenge other structural inequalities: the dependency of marriage, the exploitation of industrial capitalism, and the oppression of Jim Crow. By reconstructing these forgotten developments—and recovering the experiences of indebted farmwives, sharecroppers, and wage workers—The Price of Misfortune narrates a new history of inequality, coercion, and law amid the early financialization of American capitalism.

  Ground War - Courts Commissions...

  In Ground War, Nicholas Goedert tackles the controversies, litigation, and effects surrounding partisan gerrymandering of Congress. He contends that the appropriate actors to address the fairness of a map are nonpartisan commissions within each state, not the US courts. Goedert illustrates how existing measures and legal standards are too narrow—while they are well-adapted to evaluating maps in swing states in close elections, they fail to properly address states or national electoral environments that favor one party. In turn, Goedert demonstrates that the bias and responsiveness of partisan maps is highly sensitive to both the make-up of a state's electorate and the ephemeral election conditions under which individual elections take place. But this does not mean that partisan gerrymandering must be excused as a dilemma without a reasonable remedy. Using multiple empirical approaches and a novel metric to measure the partisan fairness of maps, Ground War shows that nonpartisan commissions, adopted state-by-state, represent the best alternative to legislative districting. 
   
   
   
  A rigorous account that explains how our system works and provides practical solutions for improving it, Ground War is an essential work for all scholars of US elections.

  Today, we are facing an unprecedented urgency to reinvent talent dynamics. The rapidly converging forces of the pandemic and the rolling waves of activism as a result of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements have accelerated the need for change. 
   
  Traditional talent processes served the purposes of the last decade, the last millennium even. But we have reached a point where people practices must become more human-centric, intelligent, more robust in their skills and capability matching, more learning and growth-oriented, more enabling, more rigorous in their transparency and inclusivity and better able to deliver the talent optimization that organizations will need in the coming decade. Organizations who are fair, transparent, inclusive, respectful of their people are the ones who will thrive into the future. 
   
  In this book, Anne Fulton demonstrates that this is what the Future of Work is all about: talent agility, empowerment and enablement — the true emancipation of talent.
