The Failure of Financial Regulation: Why a Major Crisis Could Happen Again - Hardcover

by Anil Hira (Editor), Norbert Gaillard (Editor), Theodore H. Cohn (Editor)

"This publication could not be more timely. Little more than a decade after the global financial crisis of 2008, governments are once again loosening the reins over financial markets. The authors of this volume explain why that is a mistake and could invite yet another major crisis."
--Benjamin Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

"Leading political scientists from several generations here offer historical depth, as well as sensible suggestions about what reforms are needed now."
--John Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada, and Co-founder of the G7 Research Group

"A valuable antidote to complacency for policy-makers, scholars and students."
--Timothy J. Sinclair, University of Warwick, UK
