![]() ![]() With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital-and lawyers are the keepers of the code. ![]() 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. 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. A compelling explanation of how the law shapes the distribution of wealthĬapital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Burrells' degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life - all by itself. ![]() Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing.

Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over.

If you do, give strength to your fellow rejectees and add on to the list in the comments.Īt one time, Wimmer held the official record for the most-rejected published author. ![]() Some authors, like Beatrix Potter and Proust, got so many rejections that they decided to self-publish-and good thing they did-but I don’t have numbers on those either. (Books that were rejected many times because they were pretty mediocre are just not as interesting.) Even with the higher-profile books, I discounted those with numbers I couldn’t verify, or those that weren’t specific enough-for instance, it looks like Margaret Mitchell’s oft-repeated 38 rejections is a myth Alex Haley may have gotten “hundreds” of rejections before publishing Roots, but they weren’t all necessarily for the novel ditto Kate DiCamillo’s 473 rejections before Because of Winn-Dixie Eimear McBride heard nothing but no for A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing for 7 years, but I don’t know if she got ten nos or a hundred.
