This book presents a novel approach to the reform of the world's
financial system, starting with the basic question, what is a
financial system for? It shows that the existing system has become
far more complicated than it needs to be to discharge its functions
- and dangerously unstable into the bargain. It proposes some
drastic remedies. "The Future of Finance: The LSE Report" is the
work of a group of leading academics, financiers, journalists and
officials from the UK's Financial Services Authority, the Bank of
England and the Treasury. They met twelve times, for what many of
those present described as the best and most searching discussions
they had ever participated in. The first author is Adair Turner,
chair of the Working Party of the G20 Financial Stability Board
reporting to the G20 Summit in November 2010; the others are major
international players in policymaking or public debate. Reviews
"The UK has been at the epicentre of both the financial crisis and
the ongoing debate over the future of finance. Here the leading
figures in that debate tell us how to think about the process of
financial reform. Their thoughts deserve the widest possible
audience, not just in Britain but in the United States and
globally." Barry Eichengreen University of California, Berkeley "A
preoccupation with public good is what distinguishes this book from
others about the crisis. The authors take a broader perspective in
exploring new approaches for understanding the functions of banks
and financial markets. It is particularly refreshing to see the
London School of Economics re establishing its traditional
leadership in social sciences research oriented towards social
welfare advancement." Jean Charles Rochet University of Zurich and
Toulouse School of Economics "As we look forward to the reform of
the financial system, there is a need for a more fundamental review
of the nature of financial intermediation, its scope and size. This
volume is in the best traditions of the LSE in weaving together the
perspectives of academics and policymakers to address a topic of
great importance. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to delve
deeper into the policy issues." Hyun Song Shin Princeton University
