How to Read Public law and economics after the financial crisis RTF
“The book shows that a law and economics framework is invaluable for policy analysis in situations for which existing law provides no answer, like a financial crisis. This diverse group of authors… use an economic framework to compare a reservoir of legal and policy alternatives, not merely theoretical but actually tested in the aftermath of the financial crisis. It is a positive project in all respects, oriented towards looking for solutions for a better future.” Ann-Sophie Vandenberghe, Associate Professor, Erasmus School of Law“This book is an important contribution to the literature and policy insights which emerged following the latest financial crisis. With a broad legal and geographical view, it offers a critical look into the institutional and social changes that came about after the crisis. The collection of articles offers a unique mixture of theoretical arguments and practical recommendations. It combines a look into present practices with insights for future steps, all given past experiences. It is interesting for readers familiar with law and economics and at the same time accessible to readers new to the field.” Elena Kantorowicz-Reznichenko, Assistant Professor of Law and Economics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam“The importance of the text results from the recognition that the mechanisms of state intervention in the economic domain still do not work properly and deserve new studies after each crisis that occurs… I am sure that [the book] has qualities to stimulate more people to study not only the effects of economic crisis, but the preventative mechanisms that can be used. Finally, the challenges proposed by the authors for both developed and emerging countries have been worked with consistent arguments and deserve to be read by those who are genuinely interested in the great economic conflicts of our time.” Fabiano Dolenc Del Masso, Professor of Law at Mackenzie Presbyterian University
