Laura Weinrib Chair Lecture: Money, Politics, and the Constitution in the “Golden Age” of Capitalism

On the occasion of her appointment as the Fred N. Fishman Professor of Constitutional Law, Professor Laura Weinrib delivered a lecture titled "Money, Politics, and the Constitution in the “Golden Age” of Capitalism."

A legal historian, Professor Weinrib studies how social movements have transformed constitutional categories to pursue political and economic change. She is the author of "The Taming of Free Speech: America’s Civil Liberties Compromise" (Harvard University Press, 2016), which traces the emergence during the first half of the twentieth century of a constitutional and court-centered concept of civil liberties as a defining feature of American democracy. Her articles, essays, and book chapters have explored a wide range of subjects in American legal history, as well as constitutional law, labor law, and law and literature.

The "Golden Age" was the only era in capitalism. Now, everything is in a hurry to go bankrupt.
Thank you to Professor Ryan for bringing muscular ideas to reality for discussion
- It is not surprising that the greatest ideas in the service of financial and human capital came from Harvard University
And I mean the Marshall Plan is the economic project for the reconstruction of Europe after the end of World War II, which was developed by General George Marshall, Chief of Staff of the US Army during World War II and US Secretary of State since January 1947, which he himself announced on June 5 of that year (1947) in a speech before the University of Harvard was the body set up by...
- Most of the ideas also came in non-fanatical human stories and anecdotes, for example
The story of a fat cleric who was ready to eat lamb for one meal, and on an occasion at a table, one was sitting across from him, and in the trick of the skinny man’s intelligence, he asked the cleric to come at the table to tell them the story of Joseph so that he would occupy the fat man to eat the lamb, so the cleric could not be brief The story said Youssef was a lost child from his family there and his father's grandmother was a very rich and old man
- He emphasized that the one who made Europe is true partnership, justice and equality, and not usurious banks
The foregoing reminds me of another story from Babylon - Iraq
- He sold vegetables that came to the Prophet of God, Moses
He said to him, O Moses, you say that you have a connection with God. I am a poor person. I work in selling vegetables. I only get daily sustenance
If you are correct, you have a connection with God. I know that God will make me rich for 40 years. My treasuries will not run out in the forty years. I, my family, and the people with me will follow you.
Raise the hand of Prophet Musa and pray for the poor man to make him very rich for 40 years
In a few weeks and months, the poor became the richest person in the world
The end of the forty years came year after year, but the man who was poor remained rich, and his condition did not change despite the end of the forty years that Prophet Moses had promised him.
In fact, the people around Prophet Musa became suspicious, because the condition of the poor, who happened by chance, even the Prophet Musa, became surprised and became suspicious.
That is why he resorted to God and asked him. He said, “My Lord.” I said forty years, and forty years, and today it has become 50 years
He said to God, yes, Moses, it is only forty years, but the additional ten years are linked to the good that he provided for the forty years, because he was spending generously, because he was a believer that what he had done would not be carried out, so he would not lose
And the day in which there is good that is spent with good
- In all the simplicity of the aforementioned, that was the real philosophy of the golden age of today's financial capital, and on the financial capital, it maintains partnership without fear of the fat or of the authorities that do not believe only in the sheep. In this regard, the old Babylonian proverb says, "The caravan walks and the dogs bark."
And who confirms that death migration and thank you

"GOLDEN AGE" was the only age in capitalism.
Now, it's all in rush to be bankrupted.
