Government''s Place in the Market

Informationen zum Autor Eliot Spitzer served as the 54th Governor of New York from January 2007 until his resignation on March 17! 2008. In October 2010 he will launch a talk show on CNN with conservative analyst Kathleen Parker Klappentext As New York State Attorney General from 1998 to 2006! Eliot Spitzer successfully pursued corporate crime! including stock price inflation! securities fraud! and predatory lending practices. Drawing on those experiences! in this book Spitzer considers when and how the government should intervene in the workings of the market. The 2009 American bank bailout! he argues! was the wrong way: it understandably turned government intervention into a flashpoint for public disgust because it socialized risk! privatized benefit! and left standing institutions too big to fail! incompetent regulators! and deficient corporate governance. That¿s unfortunate! because good regulatory policy! he claims! can make markets and firms work efficiently! equitably! and in service of fundamental public values. Zusammenfassung In his first book! the former New York governor and current CNN cohost offers a manifesto on the economy and the public interest.
