This special issue brings together the papers presented and discussed at the Harold A. Black Academic Conference hosted by the Probasco Distinguished Chair of Free Enterprise at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the Political Economy Research Institute at Middle Tennessee State University. Dr. Black is an emeritus professor of finance at the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and has had a distinguished career advancing our understanding of race and discrimination in banking and finance. More specifically, throughout his career, Dr. Black undertook in-depth empirical studies that examined the institutional details of statistically observed disparate outcomes in banking and finance to determine whether these outcomes were attributable to discrimination or could be explained by non-discriminatory factors. In some instances, Dr. Black found that addressing disparate outcomes with inappropriate policies could result in perverse consequences that harmed the intended beneficiaries. This introduction explores the relationship between Harold Black's work, the papers in this special issue examining, building on, and extending Harold Black's work, and public choice economics.

As Cardinal Hugo and as pope, Gregory was one of the dominant figures in the history of the papacy of the High Middle Ages. Coming to prominence under Pope Innocent III, Hugo played an important political role, particularly as legate on various occasions, as well as being a major promoter of the new religious orders. As pope, his battle with Emperor Frederick II is one of medieval history's most absorbing conflicts. But he also acted as peacemaker, promoter of the Crusades, instigator of mission for the sake of conversion, refomer of the Curia, patron of arts and liturgy, and as a passionate advocate of Church reform. His decretal collection, the Liber Extra, was the most influential of the Middle Ages. A full examination of Gregory's pontificate is very long overdue. The current volume brings together a team of international scholars, each of them expert in dealing with a particular aspect of the pontificate, and provides what will be a collection of studies of lasting scholarly value on a central figure of the medieval papacy.

"In the century following Elizabeth I's rise to the throne, English trade blossomed as thousands of merchants launched ventures across the globe. Through the efforts of these "mere merchants," England developed from a peripheral power on the fringes of Europe to a country at the center of a global commercial web, with interests stretching from Virginia to Ahmadabad and Arkhangelsk to Benin.0Edmond Smith traces the lives of English merchants from their earliest steps into business to the heights of their successes. Smith unpicks their behavior, relationships, and experiences, from exporting wool to Russia, importing exotic luxuries from India, and building plantations in America. He reveals that the origins of "global" Britain are found in the stories of these men whose livelihoods depended on their skills, entrepreneurship, and ability to work together to compete in cutthroat international markets. As a community, their efforts would come to revolutionize Britain's relationship with the world."

Sexuality is often understood to be uniquely private and intimate--something that can and should be protected from capitalism's influence. This book argues, in contrast, that the histories of capitalism and sexuality are closely intertwined. Integral to this story has been the illusion that economic and sexual practices are tied to fundamentally different realms. Focusing on the history of sex work in Britain, the book shows that capitalism has long needed the construction of artificial boundaries around sex and work in order to extract profit from sexual labor, both paid and unpaid.

What is the relationship between capitalism and sexuality, and why are they so often assumed to be antithetical? The text interrogates these questions by bringing together insights from two fields that have often overlooked each other, international political economy and queer theory.
