Description

The stock markets. Whether you invest or not, the workings of the stock market almost certainly touch your life.

Either through your retirement fund, your mutual fund or just because you work for a place that invests (or is invested in)-the reach of the securities markets is expanding, like an ever growing tidal wave.

This book discusses what happens when that wave hits the shore.

Specifically, this book argues that, given the mounting deluge from misplaced regulation, fast-paced technology, and dominant financial players, the current US regulatory structure is woefully inadequate to hold back the tide. Using vivid imagery and plain language, Karen Kunz and Jena Martin take the problems involved in regulating the complex world of securities head on.

Examining everything from the rise of technology and the role of hedge funds to our bloated agency system, Kunz and Martin argue that the current structure is doomed to fail and, when it does, the consequences will be disastrous.

Sending out a call to action, the authors also offer a bold vision for how to fix the mess we've made-not by tinkering around the edges-but instead by building a whole new structure, one that can withstand the next storm that is sure to come.
