Bankrupt: Global Lawmaking and Systemic Financial Crisis

by Terence C. Halliday, Bruce Carruthers, Bruce G. Carruthers

Book Overview

The Asian Financial Crisis dramatically illustrated the vulnerability of financial markets in emerging, transitional, and advanced economies. In response, international organizations insisted that legal reforms could help protect markets from financial breakdowns. Sitting at the nexus between the legal system and the market, corporate bankruptcy law ensures that the casualties of capitalism are treated in an orderly way.
