The Gift of Enron: An Opportunity to Talk About Capitalism, Equality, Globalization, and the Promise of a North-American Charter of Fundamental Rights
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, Enron - using the word in its largest symbolic sense - is positioned as a promising opening in the debate about economic globalization and the regulation of capitalism. In order to advance that conversation, the author suggests that there are two aspects of advanced capitalism which call for coordinated intra-, inter- and supranational response and regulation. First, she notes that advanced capitalism is increasingly transnational, and that this brings unique regulatory challenges to the fore. Second, she suggests that the regulation of capitalism can be usefully understood as a substantive equality issue (as that concept in understood in Canadian law). The author concludes that these two aspects of advanced capitalism make international and supranational law increasingly relevant to the regulation of what were previously considered domestic issues (such as tax, family, immigration and labor law), and consideration of a North American Charter of Fundamental Rights especially promising. Core concepts such as equality, harmonization, globalization and capitalism are explored. Predictable objections to supra-national governance are canvassed. The author concludes that we should begin the complex discussions about a North American Charter, even if ratification of such a document proves impossible to attain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
