The Bankers’ New Clothes
A Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg Businessweek Book of the Year Why our banking system is broken—and what we must do to fix it New bank failures have been a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we’d never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc. The Bankers’ New Clothes uncovers just how little things have changed—and why banks are still so dangerous. Writing in clear language that anyone can understand, Anat Admati and Martin Hellwig debunk the false and misleading claims of bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and others who oppose effective reform, and they explain how the banking system can be made safer and healthier. Thoroughly updated for a world where bank failures have made a dramatic return, this acclaimed and important book now features a new preface and four new chapters that expose the shortcomings of current policies and reveal how the dominance of banking even presents dangers to the rule of law and democracy itself.
The Bankers' New Clothes
Argues against the claim that a safer banking system would require sacrificing lending and economic growth.
Des Bankers neue Kleider
In den letzten Jahren dominiert ein Thema die Schlagzeilen: die Finanzkrise und die maroden Banken. Und wer bezahlt, wenn mal wieder eine Bank aus dem Ruder läuft? Die Sparer und die Steuerzahler! Trotzdem schaffen es die Bankmanager immer wieder, sich strengeren Reglements zu entziehen, und tischen dafür die aberwitzigsten Argumente auf. Anat Admati und Martin Hellwig untersuchen diese »modernen Märchen« und kommen eindeutig zu dem Schluss, dass es keineswegs notwendig ist, die Vorzüge des Systems zu opfern, um die Banken gesünder und sicherer zu machen. Denn Finanzkonzerne sind oftmals so krisenanfällig, weil sie es sein wollen, um höhere Gewinne zu machen, und nicht, weil sie es müssen. Aus dem Schaden scheint niemand klug geworden zu sein. Damit die zu schwache Regulierung von Banken nicht zur nächsten Krise führt, setzen sich Admati und Hellwig für ambitionierte Reformen ein und schlagen eine Reihe von einfach umzusetzenden Schritten vor. Doch damit sich im Bankensektor etwas bewegt, ist eine kritische Gesellschaft erforderlich. Admati und Hellwig entzaubern das märchenhaft unverständliche Banker-Vokabular und entmystifizieren die Herren des Geldes.
Central Banking at a Crossroads
This book reflects on the innovations that central banks have introduced since the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers to improve their modes of intervention, regulation and resolution of financial markets and financial institutions. Authors from both academia and policy circles explore these innovations through four approaches: ‘Bank Capital Regulation’ examines the Basel III agreement; ‘Bank Resolution’ focuses on effective regimes for regulating and resolving ailing banks; ‘Central Banking with Collateral-Based Finance’ develops thought on the challenges that market-based finance pose for the conduct of central banking; and ‘Where Next for Central Banking’ examines the trajectory of central banking and its new, central role in sustaining capitalism.
Systemic Risk in the Financial Sector
The 2008 global financial crisis brought the world's economy closer to collapse than ever before. Has enough been done to prevent another crisis?
Differential Information Economies
One of the main problems in current economic theory is to write contracts which are Pareto optimal, incentive compatible, and also implementable as a perfect Bayesian equilibrium of a dynamic, noncooperative game. The question arises whether it is possible to provide Walrasian type or cooperative equilibrium concepts which have these properties. This volume contains original contributions on noncooperative and cooperative equilibrium notions in economies with differential information and provides answers to the above questions. Moreover, issues of stability, learning and continuity of alternative equilibria are also examined.
Just Financial Markets?
"Well-functioning financial markets are crucial for the economic well-being and the justice of contemporary societies. The Great Financial Crisis has shown that a perspective that naively trusts in the self-regulating powers of free markets cannot capture what is at stake in understanding and regulating financial markets. The damage done by the Great Financial Crisis, including its distributive consequences, raises serious questions about the justice of financial markets as we know them. This volume brings together leading scholars from political theory, law, and economics in order to explore the relation between justice and financial markets. Broadening the perspective from a purely economi...
The Growth of Shadow Banking
By analyzing the growth and regulation of shadow banking activities by large banks in Western Europe and the US, this book illuminates how the evolution of finance, driven by structural pressures and financial innovations, is crucially mediated through state-finance interactions on the meaning of rules and the need to comply.
Progress and Confusion
Leading economists consider the shape of future economic policy: will it resume the pre-crisis consensus, or contend with the post-crisis “new normal”? What will economic policy look like once the global financial crisis is finally over? Will it resume the pre-crisis consensus, or will it be forced to contend with a post-crisis “new normal”? Have we made progress in addressing these issues, or does confusion remain? In April of 2015, the International Monetary Fund gathered leading economists, both academics and policymakers, to address the shape of future macroeconomic policy. This book is the result, with prominent figures—including Ben Bernanke, John Taylor, and Paul Volcker—o...
