Description and Table of Contents
Description
The 2007-08 financial crisis has posed substantial challenges for bankers, economists and regulators: was it preventable, and how can such crises be avoided in future? This book addresses these questions.
The Financial Crisis and the Regulation of Finance includes a comprehensive overview of the crisis and reviews the theory and practice of regulation in the UK and worldwide. The contributors - all international experts on financial markets and regulation - provide perspectives and analysis on macro-prudential regulation, the regulation of financial firms, and the role of shareholders and disclosure.
This rigorous book will be of great interest to all those with an interest in banking and finance including academics, professionals, bankers, regulators, advisors and civil servants. Students on banking and finance courses will also find this clear and compact resource invaluable.
