This groundbreaking book arrives at a time of growing concern for the future of true scholarship.

Credit Rating Agencies
The book examines the role of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in the subprime mortgage crisis.

After a critical assessment of quotas and disclosure requirements across jurisdictions, she provides a different way to solve the problem, by encouraging companies to make improvements to their culture and internal processes. This timely book offers a balanced analysis, practical solutions, and fresh perspectives on how corporate culture and social movements impact diversity efforts.
