Published in 1999, this is a review of recent changes in the
regulation of retail financial investment services and products,
notably the creation of the Personal Investment Authority and the
continuing roles of the Office of Fair Trading and the Securities
and Investments Board. The attempt to establish new regulatory
standards in the wake of the personal pensions mis-selling and
other scandals is critically appraised in the light of evidence of
the needs and capacities of citizens. The book concludes, firstly
that the regulators have not succeeded in making more than a
limited progress in preventing the tendencies of the industry to
abuse the public, and secondly, that the model of regulatory
effectiveness which they espouse, based on creating a competitive
market of informed decision-makers, is inappropriate given the
complexity of the products in question. No systematic appraisal of
the development of retail financial services regulation exists,
other than those conducted by the regulators themselves.
