A History of Corporate Governance around the World
For many Americans, capitalism is a dynamic engine of prosperity that rewards the bold, the daring, and the hardworking. But to many outside the United States, capitalism seems like an initiative that serves only to concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few hereditary oligarchies. As A History of Corporate Governance around the World shows, neither conception is wrong. In this volume, some of the brightest minds in the field of economics present new empirical research that suggests that each side of the debate has something to offer the other. Free enterprise and well-developed financial systems are proven to produce growth in those countries that have them. But research also sugges...

But the corporation is also the cause of immense problems and suffering, a source of poverty and pollution, and its failures are increasing. How is the corporation failing us? Why is it happening?

Banking supervision and regulation
2007 and 2008 saw the biggest financial crisis since the 1930s. Banks looking for better yields from plentiful, cheap money made much more use of complex financial instruments, without fully understanding the risks to which they were exposing themselves and the financial system. Defaults on subprime mortgages underlying some of the instruments shattered confidence and financial markets seized up. The framework of regulation and supervision in Britain failed to avoid or mitigate the crisis. The tripartite authorities in the United Kingdom - Bank of England, Financial Services Authority (FSA) and HM Treasury - failed to maintain financial stability and were found wanting, in part because the roles of the three parties were not well enough defined and it was not clear who was in charge. Too little attention was paid to macro-prudential supervision (oversight of the aggregate impact on financial stability of individual banks' actions). Only the Bank of England and the

Failed Redemption
John England has settled in the penthouse of Peters Tower, the tower block of fifty apartments that his wife’s family had built. Now living with his partner Fiona since the tragic death of his wife and children, John receives millions of pounds of inheritance. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, Sandra Wall, the MD of Walls Holdings, was under severe pressure to repay the bank. She borrowed three million from Michael Fitzallen, who gained access to half the rental income from the block as well as having a half share. In the present, John England has been the subject of numerous attempts to recover the three million pounds from different factions associated with Michael Fitzallen. Michael himself has been sent to prison for murdering Sandra, and if he is there for more than ten years, the money will be forfeit. And he’s willing to go to imaginative lengths to recover his money… As John and Fiona lay low on a private motor yacht in the Mediterranean and the Greek Secret Police get involved, can John escape this cycle of constant threat and death?
