Trade Review'With weighty issues being assessed and addressed by major economists, this book proves to be a very worthwhile read. The chapters investigate and address most of the challenges that financial regulators and supervisors are still confronted with and offers leads that are indeed on their agenda for reforming the architecture of regulation.' --Catherine Lubochinsky, SUERF
