Reviews

'Zuhayr Mikdashi conducts a meticulous analysis of the mechanisms of control and supervision of financial institutions viewed within the context of historical evolution. We cannot but recommend reading this book to all those who seek to understand the major trends and challenges that are at the foundation of the principles of supervising financial markets.' - L'agefi

'This compelling book focuses on the regulatory roles of public authorities and business executives in the prevention, moderation, containment, and resolution of financial crises. Authored by a distinguished professor and expert on international finance, this well-written, nonmathematical analysis identifies and evaluates the major economic, sociopolitical, and managerial factors of critical importance to optimal regulation of financial intervention.' - R. H. Dekmejian, Choice
