Rogers College of Law. \nHer research studies how the intersection of legal entitlements\, politics\, and economic forces affect society\, both as a positive and normative matter. In particular\, her scholarship to date has focused on exploring the implications of this intersection in the public corporation context. Saura’s articles have appeared in the Northwestern Law Review\, the Texas Law Review\, the Washington University Law Review\, the Journal of Corporate Law\, and Social Philosophy and Policy\, among other outlets. Her most recent work examines the evolution of the corporation from a mere economic agent to a new political actor and explores the democratic and political implications of this transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Can’t make it in person? \nJoin the talk online![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbstract\nAre individuals morally permitted to use their purchasing power for social change—engaging in market activism? Existing accounts defend market activism as liberty (common good anarchists) or reject it as undemocratic (proceduralists)\, but each contradicts the widely accepted Dual Commitment of just societies to both markets and democracy. This essay develops a rights-based analysis that avoids this contradiction by clarifying how our market and democratic rights can be made compossible under the Dual Commitment\, thereby precisifying when market activism is morally permissible. Ultimately\, we connect market activism to defensive ethics\, arguing that when firms engage in unjust takings—exploiting market failures and local justice deficits to harm citizens—market activism may be justified as a form of defensive harm. As such\, it must meet the conditions of liability\, necessity\, and proportionality that ground permissible defense. We conclude that not all forms of market activism are alike\, nor are they equally permissible. \nAuthors: Saura Masconale* and Simone M.

Enjoy drinks and conversation with EMLE students\, faculty\, and leadership as we celebrate this exciting new partnership. \nThe EMLE program—established in 1990 and supported by the European Commission—is a globally respected interdisciplinary initiative that brings together top students and faculty from law and economics. Students in the program earn multiple degrees from a prestigious consortium of international universities. \nNow\, for the first time\, EMLE has a North American home. The Center for the Philosophy of Freedom\, in partnership with the James E. Rogers College of Law\, is proud to host the third term of the program in Tucson. EMLE Arizona students will explore topics at the intersection of law\, justice\, markets\, and technology in courses like Justice\, Law\, and Capitalism and Regulation of Emerging Technologies. \nThe University of Arizona joined the EMLE consortium in December 2023 as its first American member. The inaugural Arizona cohort of 11 international students arrives this April\, marking the beginning of our transatlantic academic collaboration. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nThis event is invite only!\nTo request an invitation\, please contact freedomcenter@arizona.edu or click below\n[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” solid_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”Contact” url=”freedomcenter@arizona.edu”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
