These enormous sums represented annual settlement and termination payments for bilateral contracts known as Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs). Starting in the late 1990s, big banks targeted non-profits for massive sales of all types of such contracts. Non-profits ended up being perennial losers, eventually owing enormous sums of money to the banks for nothing received.The effects of such monetary transfers have been disastrous -- money-strapped non-profits had to dismiss schoolteachers, shut off water supply to thousands of poor households and downsize many other essential public services. For example, over 108 public school districts and 105 government agencies in the state of Pennsylvania suffered massive losses because of dealing in IRSs. Local and state governments, universities, hospitals and transit authorities from New York to San Francisco have been and are among the largest hit. Moreover, about 500 hospitals ranging from charity to large healthcare centers became victims of bank-generated swap contracts. Members of the Service Employee International Union identified the curse of IRS payments to big banks as being 'Money for Nothing.'This book discusses selective cases of the costly undertaking of many, many non-profits whose officials were not informed that an IRS contract has only one winner, and that big banks had no intention of being the losers. The author lends support that, curiously, officials of non-profits relied heavily on the banks' self-serving representations with respect to IRS contracts. There is no evidence that any of these officials, and their advisors, fully understood the complexities, terms and nuances of IRS contracts offered by big banks. As a result, the contracting parties did not have equal bargaining power. Therefore, should not IRS contracts with non-profits be considered unconscionable contracts? Moreover, once an IRS is terminated, the presumed services of hedging, managing risk and betting would terminate. Thus, the huge sums of money big banks had collected for termination, based on the duration from the time of termination to maturity, were taken for services that had not been, and will never be, rendered. Could one then consider these termination payments tantamount to unjust enrichment?

Автор: Rashad Shabazz Название: Spatializing Blackness: Architectures of Confinement and Black Masculinity in Chicago ISBN: 0252039645 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780252039645 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 104110.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Over 277,000 African Americans migrated to Chicago between 1900 and 1940, an influx unsurpassed in any other northern city. From the start, carceral powers literally and figuratively created a prison-like environment to contain these African Americans within the so-called Black Belt on the city's South Side.
A geographic study of race and gender, Spatializing Blackness casts light upon the ubiquitous--and ordinary--ways carceral power functions in places where African Americans live. Moving from the kitchenette to the prison cell, and mining forgotten facts from sources as diverse as maps and memoirs, Rashad Shabazz explores the myriad architectures of confinement, policing, surveillance, urban planning, and incarceration. In particular, he investigates how the ongoing carceral effort oriented and imbued black male bodies and gender performance from the Progressive Era to the present. The result is an essential interdisciplinary study that highlights the racialization of space, the role of containment in subordinating African Americans, the politics of mobility under conditions of alleged freedom, and the ways black men cope with--and resist--spacial containment.
A timely response to the massive upswing in carceral forms within society, Spatializing Blackness examines how these mechanisms came to exist, why society aimed them against African Americans, and the consequences for black communities and black masculinity both historically and today.

Описание: In this "splendid tale of high-seas adventure" (Marcus J. Guillory, author of Red Now and Laters), two enemies become the unlikeliest of allies as they fight to save their own lives aboard a hell ship headed into the dangerous unknown. The Civil War is over, though for Jupiter Smith, a former slave and Union soldier, many battles still lie ahead. He returns to the plantation he worked on before the war in search of his woman, but instead finds his old master gone mad, haunting the ruins like a ghost. Out of pity for the now mentally ill colonel, Jupiter strangles him and heads west to seek a new life in San Francisco. When the colonel's son, Confederate soldier Archer Smith, arrives home and finds his father murdered, he vows revenge upon Jupiter for all he has lost--following his former slave to the far reaches of the continent. But things take a new turn as Archer's desire for retribution is overwhelmed by his dependency on opium, and he ends up the target of a gang of "crimpers"...the very gang that Jupiter works for in San Francisco. When Jupiter fails in an attempt to save Archer, they both end up shanghaied aboard a ship headed on a dangerous mission and ruled by a merciless captain. Will the two Smiths work together to stay alive and return home, or will they become victims of the sea, the crew, and their mad captain?
