No full textThe Beatrice Bishop Berle Award was presented to Dr. Vincent P. Dole in 1995 by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Division of Substance Abuse
A gift from Mary Lee Gupta
Beatrice Bishop Berle (1902-1993), was an American physician, teacher and author. Dr. Berle, who ran a neighborhood health clinic in East Harlem from 1953 until 1962, took a pioneering approach to family medicine by treating the entire family for the effects of heroin abuse by a member. She also helped to establish methadone maintenance as a significant treatment for heroin abuse.

“A Modern Financial Tool-kit”: Lessons from Adolf A. Berle for a More Democratic Financial System
No full textAt the close of the 1930s, Adolf Berle – brain truster and co-author of The Modern Corporation and Private Property – developed a plan for a “modern financial tool-kit.” This paper recovers Berle’s program for financial reform. The discussion opens with an overview of Berle’s personal and intellectual history, the historical moment in which he developed these proposals, and a summary of alternative proposals circulating at the time. Berle’s own proposals are then presented. Notably, we find that Berle stresses the need for (quasi-)public banks, improved infrastructure finance, and loan guarantees for small business. Based on these proposals, we draw three lessons for efforts to democratize finance today. The first concerns the importance of critiquing misguided alternatives. Here we assert that proponents of democratized finance should push back against private equity’s encroachment on public infrastructure. The second lesson takes inspiration from Berle’ invocation of precedents for government action as justifications for further reform. Here we argue for a closer focus on the trillions in loans currently owned or guaranteed via federal credit programs. The third lesson takes inspiration from Berle’s articulation of core principles to guide reform. In that tradition, we offer a distillation of the overarching principles of Berle that might guide democratic financial reform today: fair allocation, local and global sustainability, and political accountability

Institutional reform in emerging securities markets
No full textIn the long run, sound, efficient securities markets can contribute to economic growth; in the short run, they play an important role in financial liberalization. The author provides a guide to issues involved in institutional and regulatory reform of securities markets - and a discussion of the practical implications of different policy options and sequencing decisions. He argues that establishing sound securities markets requires institutional development that is a substantial task for many developing countries. Prerequisities for the development of securities markets include: (a) a macroeconomic and fiscal environment conducive to the supply of quality securities; (b) a legal, regulatory, and institutional infrastructure that can support efficient operation of the securities market. Essentially such an infrastructure must provide four things: (a) certainty about property rights and contracts; (b) transparent trading and other procedures and public disclosure by companies of all information relevant to the value of their securities; (c) protection against unfair practices by insiders and intermediaries; and (d) protection against the financial failure of intermediaries and market institutions such as clearinghouses. The author also provides examples of the policy conflicts and uncertainties that are routine in securities market reform and development, and suggests approaches to managing them.Financial Intermediation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research
A survey of blockholders and corporate control
No full textThe author surveys the empirical literature on large-percentage shareholders in public corporations, focusing on four key issues: the prevalence of blockholders; the motivation for block ownership; the effect of blockholders on executive compensation, leverage, the incidence of takeovers, and a wide range of corporate decisions; and the effect of blockholders on firm value. A central finding of this study is that there is little reason for policymakers or small investors to fear large-percentage shareholders in general, especially when the blockholders are active in firm management.Stockholders ; Corporate governance
A LINGUAGEM AUDIOVISUAL COMO PRÁTICA ESCOLAR
No full textO ensaio discute a relação entre o cinema e a escola para tematizar a linguagem audiovisual e suas implicações nas práticas escolares. Mesmo com o acesso a materiais e recursos audiovisuais, o cinema comparece no cotidiano escolar como apoio pedagógico diante da hierarquização e redução das linguagens à leitura e à escrita na educação das crianças. Para discutir a necessária pluralização de experiências com as linguagens, enquanto prática escolar, busca dialogar com a proposta de Jorge Larrosa, de substituir o par teoria/prática pelo par experiência/sentido para pensar a educação e com a concepção do humano como ser histórico e produtor de história em Paul Ricoeur. Nosso olhar de educadoras e pesquisadoras da infância interroga a naturalizada presença da linguagem audiovisual na educação das crianças, para destacar a desconsideração pela pluralidade de acessos midiáticos que as crianças podem interagir atualmente. Não reivindica a inclusão do cinema nos currículos, enquanto área de conhecimento a ser contemplada como “conteúdo”, mas aponta a importância do ampliar as aprendizagens, no cotidiano escolar, ao reivindicar a pluralização dos processos de aprender a complexificar repertórios linguageiros
