Capitalisn't
How Inequality Distorts the Law - ft. Katharina Pistor

Capitalisn't

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 19, 2026 48:57


If we want to understand why capitalism feels broken, do we need to stop looking at the economy and start looking at the legal code that underpins it? In our system, capital is often described as money, machinery, or raw materials. But Columbia Law School professor Katharina Pistor argues that capital is actually a legal invention. An asset, whether it's a plot of land, an idea, or a promise of future pay, only becomes capital when it is given the right legal coding.  Pistor suggests that lawyers are the true coders of capitalism. They use the law to "enclose" assets, from land to user data, giving owners the power to exclude others and monetize that value. She argues for injecting principles of "fairness and reciprocity" back into private law, ensuring that contracts aren't just tools for the powerful to extract value from the weak. Luigi Zingales suggests that large corporations have become so powerful we may need a new branch of "quasi-public law" to govern the asymmetry between an individual consumer and a corporate giant. This episode explores the deep, often invisible architecture of our economic system and asks whether we can ever truly tame corporate power without rewriting the rules of the game.

President Donald Trump's sweeping plan for Venezuelan oil is coming into focus. It includes cutting off illicit oil exports, gaining more control over Venezuela's state-run oil company and rebuilding infrastructure. Some of these goals require the participation of U.S. oil companies, but those companies are reluctant to invest in the still-unstable country.

Why Trump's Oil Imperialism Might Be a Tough Sell for Actual Oil Companies

Shift Key with Robinson Meyer and Jesse Jenkins

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 6, 2026 52:38


Over the weekend, the U.S. military entered Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife. Maduro will now face drug and gun charges in New York, and some members of the Trump administration have described the operation as a law enforcement mission.President Donald Trump has taken a different tack. He has justified the operation by asserting that America is going to “take over” Venezuela's oil reserves, even suggesting that oil companies might foot the bill for the broader occupation and rebuilding effort. Trump officials have told oil companies that the U.S. might not help them recover lost assets unless they fund the American effort now, according to Politico.Such a move seems openly imperialistic, ill-advised, and unethical — to say the least. But is it even possible? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob talks to Rory Johnston, a Toronto-based oil markets analyst and the founder of Commodity Context. They discuss the current status of the Venezuelan oil industry, what a rebuilding effort would cost, and whether a reopened Venezuelan oil industry could change U.S. energy politics — or even, as some fear, bring about a new age of cheap fossil fuels. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.

More than 300,000 North Dakotans own land and minerals used for oil production. That means they receive royalties from the oil that companies pump from their land. Many families have been receiving those royalties for generations since the oil boom started in the region in the early 1950s. But new reporting finds that those royalties have shifted drastically over the last decade. While oil companies are pumping just as much oil as ever, landowners are seeing smaller and smaller paychecks. ProPublica and North Dakota Monitor journalist Jacob Orledge investigated why and recently published a series of articles on his findings. He joined Minnesota Now to share more.

The day 65-year-old Julie Leon died was the hottest day ever recorded in Washington State history. Her death was officially ruled as hyperthermia, or overheating. Officially, more than 100 people died in the state due to that extreme 2021 heat wave, but many experts believe the number of deaths exceeds 400. Last week, Julie’s daughter, Misti Leon, filed a lawsuit, pointing the finger at who she thinks is responsible: big oil. The lawsuit claims that oil and gas companies have been knowingly misleading the public for more than 50 years about the effects of fossil fuels on the climate. It says this deception has made them trillions of dollars, while leading to the deaths of people like Julie Leon.

Gavin Newsom's latest flip-flop would be comical if it weren't so pathetic. After years of battering California's oil and gas industry with crushing regulations, carbon neutrality demands, and margin caps, Newsom is suddenly begging refineries not to leave the state. Why? His 2028 presidential aspirations can't afford $8/gallon gas prices when Valero and Phillips 66 shut down their operations.Watch as we break down California's self-inflicted energy crisis: from importing 70% of their oil (up from just 4.5% in 1988), to Newsom's desperate letter pleading with refineries to stay after spending years driving them out. The Governor who championed policies to phase out gasoline now realizes his constituents actually need affordable fuel – shocking, right?Is there anything more two-faced than destroying an industry and then panicking when they leave?

We have covered before how the fossil fuel industry created the advertorial and how it continues work with media on the modern incarnation: sponsored content, created by the media outlets themselves. To be clear, it's outlets' internal brand studios that write op-eds, craft slide shows and videos, and produce podcasts for fossil fuel companies, not their editorial staff. But these services are explicitly marketed as a way to make corporate content mirror the editorial content in style and approach, and when it comes to fossil fuel advertisers it often directly contradicts what the editorial staff is reporting. In late 2023, we published a report detailing the many examples of this and delving into the peer-reviewed research that shows how misleading this practice is to readers. This week, one of the researchers who has contributed the most to that body of evidence, Dr. Michelle Amazeen, at Boston University, published a new study looking at why this practice is particularly misleading on social media, and what media outlets might be able to do to make it less so.

Bonus Episode for Feb. 19. President Trump wants to slash regulations to help big energy companies. But he also wants to see the price of crude oil fall, an unwelcome prospect for companies such as Exxon and Chevron . In their latest quarterly earnings reports oil giants watched their annual profits dip as a result of anemic natural-gas prices and slimmer margins in their refining operations. Now, many are trying to prepare for far less favorable market conditions and more strategy shifts ahead.  Chip Cutter hosts this special bonus episode of What's News in Earnings, where we dig into companies' earnings reports and analyst calls to find out what's going on under the hood of the American economy.

On February 1 — that is, three days from now — President Donald Trump has promised to apply a tariff of 25% to all U.S. imports from Canada and Mexico, crude oil very much not excepted. Canada has been the largest source of American crude imports for more than 20 years. More than that, the U.S. oil industry has come to depend on Canada's thick, sulfurous oil to blend with America's light, sweet domestic product to suit its highly specialized refineries.
