After the last financial crisis, European policymakers harmonised banking regulation and revised the framework of banking resolution. The introduction of the bail-in legislation is a natural experiment to improve the understanding of banking resolution and how it affected the funding strategies of banks. This book assesses whether financial stability has been strengthened by the change in banks’ resolution policy with a focus on the bail-in. The book shows how banks changed their funding strategies, shrank their balance-sheets and relied more on deposits. The book will discuss inter-alia the mis-selling of bonds, which happened during 2012-2013, analysing whether the bond allocation changed after the bail-in launch. It discusses how the bail-in mechanism was deemed credible by equity holders and argues that the European case would have useful implications for third countries.

However, historical attempts to solve the problem of natural monopolies ranged between two extremes. On the one hand there was the government regulation of private companies in the U.S., and on the other hand there was government provision or nationalization of companies in Germany and most of continental Europe. At the interface between legal and economic history, this volume, the result of a German-American conference, focuses on the regulation of natural monopolies in network industries such as railways, energy or telecommunications. It analyzes constitutional and legal frameworks and investigates the development of markets and the political influence exerted by market participants. All historical moments lead to broader questions about regulation in its cultural-historical context, including the general principles underlying public regulatory policy in law, economics and society - as well as existing path dependences. Hence, the volume provides a transnational and intercultural dialogue about the different characteristics and cultural interpretations of markets and market economies as well as their roles in society.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889072353623,"sku":"9783161522482","price":90.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161522482.jpg?v=1722552559"},{"product_id":"cheques-in-law-and-practice-9788175343351","title":"Cheques in Law and Practice","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Universal Law Publishing Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889621512535,"sku":"9788175343351","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"an-overview-of-banking-law-in-four-english-language-jurisdictions-9798886977936","title":"An Overview of Banking Law in Four","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48890372063575,"sku":"9798886977936","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"hudson-law-of-finance-classic-series-9780414027640","title":"Hudson Law of Finance Classic Series","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlastair Hudson's The Law of Finance brings together, for the first time, in a single volume, the whole of international finance, as understood in English law.

Ramirez's capitalism respects individual potential and human capital, considers equality and fairness, and promotes the abilities of all people, rather than focusing on deeper entrenchment of the elite. Lawless Capitalism meticulously weaves the best thinking of dozens of economists, law professors, sociologists and philosophers into a new conceptualization of an economic rule of law, one that Ramirez fully develops, that offers a better economic way for our nation and the world.
