This is despite the fact that, as they write in the Update, 'Time seems to have speeded up in the world of financial regulation' since the first edition was published in spring 2008.

While largely written before the market disruption that began in August 2007, subsequent events have tended to reinforce rather than invalidate most of its prescriptions ...

It is comprehensive and clear. It is not easy to describe a structure that has grown incrementally, mostly in response to crises in one part or other of the global financial services system but the authors achieve it with apparently effortless ease.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinancial Regulator\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The regulatory architecture of international finances has hardly changed since the book's publication, which will probably make \u003ci\u003eGlobal Financial Regulation\u003c\/i\u003e a useful book for professionals in the financial markets for a long time to come.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEl Pais\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This book is both an excellent review of how we got to such an eclectic mix of regulatory structures around the world and a provoker of thoughts as to how they could be improved.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobal Risk Regulator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The authors' ability to cut through the myriad of information and arguments on topics like Basel II and present the 'essentials' makes it a lively and easy read.

We’re all poorer when banks run amok or markets lurch from crisis to crisis. But most books about the rules and rule-makers of the financial economy tend to be dry and impenetrable.
