This book is a primer on corporate law for law students and anyone else interested in the foundations of corporate law. The book provides a self-contained, accessible presentation of the field's essentials: what corporations are, how they are governed, their interactions with their investors and other stakeholders, major transactions (M&A), and parallels with alternative entities including partnerships. Optional background chapters cover the investor ecosystem, contemporary corporate governance, and corporate finance. The book's exposition of doctrine and policy is nuanced and sophisticated yet short and simple enough for a quick read. "An astonishingly lucid summary, I wish I had it when I was in law school." -Sarath Sanga, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law "Corporations in 100 Pages achieves the impossible: it offers a masterfully clear and concise exposition of corporate law and its motivating principles, without dumbing down the subject matter. I recommend it to all of my students-it's an invaluable resource." -Elisabeth de Fontenay, Duke University School of Law
The U.S. stock market has been transformed over the last twenty-five years. Once a market in which human beings traded at human speeds, it is now an electronic market pervaded by algorithmic trading, conducted at speeds nearing that of light. High-frequency traders participate in a large portion of all transactions, and a significant minority of all trade occurs on alternative trading systems known as “dark pools.” These developments have been widely criticized, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory response to these dramatic changes. The New Stock Market offers a comprehensive new look at how these markets work, how they fail, and how they should be regulated. Merritt B. Fox,...

In Anti-manipulation Regime in Korea: a Critique and Comparative Exploration, Min-woo Kang provides a comprehensive and critical discussion of the market manipulation regime in Korea, together with a comparative analysis of the corresponding legislations and regulations in major jurisdictions, such as the US and the EU. Particular emphasis is placed on the critiques of the current legal system and suggestions for improvement in some important aspects, which include, inter alia, reforms of the two-tiered hierarchical system in law enforcement that heavily relies on criminal sanctions and the regime of algorithmic and high-frequency trading that is void of statute regulation. Based on an array of legal materials and thorough analysis of legislation and precedent, the author has convincingly argued for amending the Korean law considerably. Certainly, regulators, academics and practitioners interested in Korean capital market regulations will likely find this as a good reference.
This book puts forward a holistic approach to post-crisis derivatives regulation, providing insight into how new regulation has dealt with the risk that OTC derivatives pose to financial stability. It discusses the implications that post crisis regulation has had on central counterparties and the risk associated with clearing of OTC derivatives. The author offers a novel solution to tackle the potential negative externalities from the failure of a central counterparty and identifies potential new risks arising from post crisis reforms.
