Summary
This book offers an original perspective on EU financial law in the area of retail investor protection by conducting comparisons both externally (to international proposals) and internally (among EU law sectors and specific instruments in relation to one another). In so doing, this study represents a valuable addition to the literature on retail investor protection in the EU.
