International Finance Regulation: The Quest for Financial Stability

Praise for International Finance Regulation

“Building on his extensive experience as a market regulator, law professor, and internationalist, Georges Ugeux has produced an eminently readable exposition of the disparate threads that caused the recent breakdown of global financial systems, and the serious deficiencies permeating existing regulatory mechanisms that should—but are unable to—prevent future breakdowns. His analysis culminates in his carefully conceived outline of the necessary components of effective global financial regulatory reform. This is a must-read for regulators, market professionals, and anyone concerned about the future of financial regulation as well as those looking for creative approaches to restore global financial stability.”
—Harvey L. Pitt, CEO, Kalorama Partners, LLC; Former SEC Chairman (2001–2003)

“The great interest of Georges Ugeux’s book is that it puts together issues which are too often dealt with separately. Therefore, this well-documented book provides a more comprehensive view of what is needed to get a more stable financial world.”
—Philippe Maystadt, special advisor to Commissioner Barnier, former president of the European Investment Bank

“In a short book, Georges Ugeux has covered the waterfront, with fresh and incisive observations on a host of topics. You may not agree with every judgment that he reaches, but he will make you think and respond. As usual, he is stimulating, hard-nosed, and delightfully judgmental.”
—John Coffee, Adolf A. Berle Professor of Law at Columbia University Law School; Director of the Columbia University Law School’s Center on Corporate Governance
