商品簡介
Referring to the Security & Exchange Commission's handling of the Bernie Madoff sandal, one investigator said of the SEC: "They couldn't find ice cream at a Dairy Cream." In a balanced approach between those advocating a complete overhaul of failed securities regulation to better represent the interests of small investors and sympathizers of those involved in the enforcement enterprise, Williams (social science, York U., Toronto) provides an objective perspective on securities enforcement and the policing of financial markets. Drawing on sociology, philosophy, and enforcement politics, he looks into the black box' to examines the influences and contingencies that define the enforcement process as a social enterprise relating to the production of knowledge about the markets and regulatory gaps.
