The capitalist economies of the developed world fall loosely into
two highly divergent camps: one in which securities markets are
robust and the ownership of large firms is broadly dispersed; the
other in which securities markets are weak and ownership is highly
concentrated. There is now a lively debate about the role of law in
producing these diverse patterns. This volume brings together the
foundational contributions to that debate, edited and introduced by
one of the key participants. They are a must read for anyone who
wishes to understand the relationship between law and the economic
structure of modern societies.' - Henry Hansmann, Yale Law School,
US 'Mark Roe, one of the world's leading corporate law scholars,
here presents a collection of first rate work (including his own)
that addresses the deepest puzzle in comparative corporate
governance: why is it that stock ownership patterns differ so
significantly across countries, even where the stage of economic
development is comparable? This volume will be of genuine value to
scholars and students interested in comparative political economy
as well as corporate law.' - Jeffrey N. Gordon, Columbia Law
School, US This insightful volume explores the issue of why some
nations have deep securities markets while others do not, and
investigates the new hope that securities markets could be the road
to wealth and not just the result of it. This collection of key
articles, together with the editor's comprehensive introduction,
examines the recently emergent theories in the field.

Why stock-market short-termism is not causing severe damage to the
American economy According to many political leaders, pundits, and
corporate lawmakers, stock-market-driven short-termism - when
corporations prioritize immediate results in the next quarter over
their longer-term interests - is harming the American economy. This
view, popular in influential circles, sees short-termism as causing
sharply declining research and development (R&D), too many
stock buybacks, and severe environmental harm. But the data fits
badly with this black-and-white representation of short-termism.
Mark J. Roe analyzes the best data on R&D, corporate borrowings
and buybacks, and long-term investment trends to show that stock
market short-termism is not at the root of these economic problems.
The book shows that blaming short-termism overlooks the real causes
of declining investment, R&D changes, and environmental
deterioration. By pointing to other sources of tension like
accelerating technological change, rising political uncertainty,
and repeated economic disruptions, Missing the Target argues for a
more nuanced understanding of the challenges to the American
economy. Roe disproves many of the core claims against short
termism. R&D spending, for example, is rising faster than the
economy is growing. Its government R&D support that's been
falling. Reversing that decline is the best first target for
bettering American R&D. Missing the Target deepens the
discussion of the American economy by analyzing the factors that
contribute to current trends and by making a bold but
straightforward claim: stock market short-termism is not the
problem.
