I have an new article, The Politics of Financial Regulation and the Regulation of Financial Politics, forthcoming in the Harvard Law Review. The article is a multi-book review essay that serves as a launching pad for a discussion about the role of politics in financial regulation.

Without addressing the political problem in financial regulation, regulatory reforms will be incomplete and unsustainable.
