Regulatory Failure and the Global Financial Crisis: An Australian Perspective

Edited by: Mohamed Ariff, John H. Farrar, Ahmed M. Khalid

ISBN13: 9781781006368
To be Published: July 2013
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Limited
Country of Publication: UK
Format: Paperback
Price: £31.95



This fascinating book presents a lively discussion of key issues resulting from the recent financial crisis. The expert contributors explore why the global financial crisis occurred, how it destroyed wealth, triggered mass unemployment and created an unprecedented loss of control on employment, monetary policy and government budgets. Important topics encompassing the origin and impact of the crisis, governance failure, regulatory forgiveness, credit splurges, asset bubbles and the greed of institutions are analysed from the wide-ranging perspectives of not only academics in both economics and law, but also industry practitioners and regulators. This multidimensional evaluation of what went wrong concludes with an outline of what is currently being done to prevent another major crisis, and prescribes recommendations for the implementation of further preventative measures. This book will prove a compelling read for economics, finance and law scholars, as well as for practitioners including accountants, lawyers and financial market players.
