The Principles of Bank Regulation or Promises Not Kept

The Principles of Bank Regulation

Author: Michael Malloy

Comprehensive, yet intelligible treatment of the basic rules, principles, statutes, and issues governing the law of bank regulation. Examines the rapid pace of development in depository institution regulation, and how federal statutes governing banking have been subject to constant amendment in recent years. Discusses the growing overlap in competition among depository institutions, insurance companies, and securities firms that has further complicated regulatory policy. Detailed sections discuss: the regulated environment of banking, entry rules, branching, control transactions, transactional rules, holding company activities, securities regulation, resolution of institution failures, international banking, and bank regulation and social policy.

The seventh edition of this widely-used introductory text on poverty in the developing world continues the discussion of the "new American hegemony" and the "war on terror" that began with the previous edition. In particular, Isbister addresses changes in international politics and the impact on the global order of the US-led military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The author also focuses on major initiatives, such as the UN's Millennium Development Goals, to confront the issue of world poverty.
