Reforming U.S. Financial Markets
In this remarkably readable and thought-provoking volume, leading economists Randall Kroszner and Robert Shiller provide an excellent roadmap to financial reform after Dodd-Frank. They discuss what actions the United States should take to prevent another financial meltdown since the worst crisis of the 1930s. Their discussion transcends the nuts and bolts of legislative and regulatory fixes to consider fundamental changes in our financial arrangements. Kroszner and Shiller put forward two distinctive approaches to financial reform, with Kroszner yielding a systematic analysis of regulatory gaps and Shiller tackling the greater concerns of democratizing and humanizing finance. Their recommendations make this a timeless must-read for everyone concerned with the efficiency and stability of our financial markets and institutions.

Much of the literature on the financial crisis finds e onomists talking past one another. It is refreshing, therefore, to find some of our leading e onomists engaging one another, thoughtfully and fully, in this volume. Their fundamental concern is how to ensure that finance serves society rather than the other way around. Their contributions to answering this question should help to point discussions of post-crisis reform in a more productive direction.
