The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality
Columbia Law School Professor Katharina Pistor will join us to discuss her new book "The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality". Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else.
In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right l...

Katharina Pistor | The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality
Katharina Pistor discusses her new book, The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality. The book is a major intervention about the nature of modern capitalism. Pistor argues for the central role of the law in shaping the distribution of wealth and makes a compelling case that it is law that creates capital itself. Katharina Pistor is the Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law at Columbia Law School and director of the Law School's Center on Global Legal Transformation. Her work spans comparative law and corporate governance, law and finance, and law and development. She is the co-recipient of the Max Planck Research Award (2012) and a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science.

The Bundesbank vs. the ECB
Watch the full 39-minute video at http://www.goldmoney.com/hellmeyer-turk-interview. In this video Folker Hellmeyer, chief analyst at Bremer Landesbank, and James Turk of the GoldMoney Foundation, talk about the ECB and the Bundesbank. James Turk makes the point that the ECB has become more political and less independent than the Bundesbank was which makes the euro a weaker currency. Hellmeyer argues that it is the wiser choice to break rules by buying up sovereign debt of eurozone countries than to let the whole financial system collapse, risking global political instability. He still believes that the ECB stands for a relatively stable approach in comparison to other central banks. He also points out that the Bundesbank never faced a similar crisis to the one the ECB is now facing.

Restitution Law: The Lewenstein Case
Lawyers Doing Cool Things
September 18, 2023
---
The Mondex Corporation’s James Palmer, Waldemar de Boer, Dr. Axel Hagedorn, Michael Hecker and Geri Krauss conduct an in-depth discussion on restitution law, the restitution process and the ground-breaking Lewenstein Case.
Case Summary:
The art collection of the Lewenstein family was developed by Emanuel Albert Lewenstein (1870-1930), a business man who lived in The Netherlands and who was the owner of a successful sewing machine company. Emanuel was passionate about art and used his family’s earnings to collect paintings, drawings and prints, mostly by Dutch contemporary artists, and also to acquire two ground-breaking paintings by Wassily Kandinsky: Das Bunte Leben (1907) and Bild mit Häusern (1909). The collection was lost due to Nazi p...

Columbia Law School Professor Katharina Pistor will join us to discuss her new book "The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality". Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else.
In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital—and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients’ needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations—assets that exist only in law.
A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it.
Katharina Pistor is the Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law at Columbia Law School and Director of the Law School’s Center on Global Legal Transformation.
Her research and teaching spans corporate law, corporate governance, money and finance, property rights, and comparative law and legal institutions. She has published widely in legal and social science journals. Her most recent book is “The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality” (Princeton University Press, 2019).
In 2012 she was co-recipient (with Martin Hellwig) of the Max Planck Research Award on International Financial Regulation; in 2014 she received the Allen & Overy Prize for the best working paper on law of the European Corporation Governance Institute; and in 2015 she was elected member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. She is also the recipient of research grants by the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the National Science Foundation.
Pistor received her law degree from Freiburg University in 1988 and qualified for legal practice in 1992 after clerking for the Hamburg Court of Appeals. She obtained a Masters in Law from the University of London in 1989; a Masters in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government in 1994; and a Doctorate in Law from the University of Munich in 1998. Prior to joining Columbia Law School, Pistor has held academic positions at the Kennedy School of Government (Harvard University), and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Law in Hamburg. She has held visiting positions at several universities, including University of Pennsylvania Law School, New York University Law School, Frankfurt University, London School of Economics, Oxford University, and Harvard Law School.

---
The Mondex Corporation’s James Palmer, Waldemar de Boer, Dr. Axel Hagedorn, Michael Hecker and Geri Krauss conduct an in-depth discussion on restitution law, the restitution process and the ground-breaking Lewenstein Case.
Case Summary:
The art collection of the Lewenstein family was developed by Emanuel Albert Lewenstein (1870-1930), a business man who lived in The Netherlands and who was the owner of a successful sewing machine company. Emanuel was passionate about art and used his family’s earnings to collect paintings, drawings and prints, mostly by Dutch contemporary artists, and also to acquire two ground-breaking paintings by Wassily Kandinsky: Das Bunte Leben (1907) and Bild mit Häusern (1909). The collection was lost due to Nazi persecution in WWII. On October 8th-9th, 1940, while The Netherlands was occupied by the Nazis, the collection, including the two Kandinsky’s was offered for sale at the most important auction house in Amsterdam at that time, the Frederik Muller & Co, which was also notoriously known for organizing sales of looted artworks during the war. It remains unknown as to who brought the Lewenstein art collection to the auction, and received the proceeds, but it has been concluded that the sale was certainly not voluntary. The painting Bild mit Häusern was acquired by the City of Amsterdam, for their Stedelijk Museum (city museum). Das Bunte Leben was sold to the art collector Salomon Slijper. After Slijper’s death in 1971, his widow sold it to the Bayerische Landesbank in Germany. The bank bought the painting on behalf of the Lenbachhaus museum in Munich. Both of these paintings were sold for a fraction of their value.
In 2012, the heirs of the Lewenstein collection, with help of Mondex Corporation in Toronto, Canada, established the whereabouts of the two Kandinsky paintings and began restitution proceedings against the City of Amsterdam in The Netherlands and the Bayerische Landesbank in Germany (A Bavarian government owned bank). Even though both Kandinsky paintings were eventually restituted, the claims took a decade before decisions in favour of restitution were reached, due to various complex research, legal, political and other obstacles. During the lecture, the details of the restitution processes will be examined.
