Beskrivning

As long as insider trading has existed, people have been fixated on it. Newspapers give it front page coverage. Cult movies romanticize it. Politicians make or break careers by pillorying, enforcing, and sometimes engaging in it. But, oddly, no one seems to know what's really wrong with insider trading, or - because Congress has never defined it - exactly what it is. This confluence of vehemence and confusion has led to a dysfunctional enforcement regime in the United States that runs counter to its stated goals of efficiency and fairness. In this illuminating book, John P. Anderson summarizes the current state of insider trading law in the US and around the globe. After engaging in a thorough analysis of the practice of insider trading from the normative standpoints of economic efficiency, moral right and wrong, and virtue theory, he offers concrete proposals for much-needed reform.

Recensioner i media

'This book provides a richly textured account of insider trading, offering historical, comparative, philosophical, and economic perspectives on this vexed practice. Anderson argues persuasively that the American law of insider trading is badly in need of reform, and offers compelling proposals for getting it back on its feet. This book will be an essential reference on insider trading law for years to come.' Eric Posner, Kirkland and Ellis Distinguished Professor of Law, Arthur and Esther Kane Research Chair, University of Chicago Law School
