Critics Review

“In this extremely readable and thought-provoking volume, two of America’s leading financial experts provide an excellent roadmap to financial reform after Dodd-Frank. Their recommendations make this a timeless must-read for everyone concerned with the efficiency and stability of our financial markets and institutions.” Robert E. Litan , Vice President, Research and Policy, The Kauffman Foundation, and Senior Fellow, Economic Studies, The Brookings Institution “Much of the literature on the financial crisis finds economists talking past one another. It is refreshing, therefore, to find some of our leading economists engaging one another, thoughtfully and fully, in this volume. Their fundamental concern is how to ensure that finance serves society rather than the other way around. Their contributions to answering this question should help to point discussions of post-crisis reform in a more productive direction.” Barry Eichengreen , George C. Pardee and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
