A new book exploring key issues resulting from the Global Financial Crisis has just been released by three Bond University academics.
Entitled Regulatory Failure and the Global Financial Crisis: An Australian Perspective, the book brings together expert contributors from both the academic and business world.
Based on papers presented at a symposium held in 2010, the book explores why the global financial crisis occurred and the wide-reaching fallout from it.
The book’s three editors from Bond University, Professor Mohamed Ariff, Emeritus Professor John Farrar and Professor Ahmed Khalid, acknowledged that while other books on the GFC had already been published, theirs has a different objective.
“Our book has a multi-profession focus and includes contributors from regulatory organisations, prudential institutions, and securities commissions, just to name a few,” said Professor Ahmed Khalid.
“This wide-ranging evaluation of the issues associated with the GFC has produced a book that is relevant across industries and incorporates expert knowledge to deliver recommendations for the implementation of preventative measures for a future crisis.”
A key feature of the book is a chapter entitled “The Global Credit Crisis and China’s Exchange Rate”, contributed by Professor Ronald I. McKinnon, a well known economist and China expert and a William D. Eberle Professor of International Economics at Stanford University.
Regulatory Failure and the Global Financial Crisis: An Australian Perspective is a must-read resource for scholars as well as practitioners including accountants, lawyers and financial market players.
