The Politics of the Financial Services Revolution The USA, UK and Japan [Hardcover]

The financial services revolution has transformed what was once a backwater into a glamorous and dangerous part of modern economies. Intense competition and ferocious struggles for advantage in world markets are the signs of revolutionary change. Michael Moran's book breaks new ground by examining the politics of that revolution. Moran compares the struggles between private interests and public agencies in three great world financial centres - New York, London and Tokyo.Acknowledgements - Corporatism, Regulation and Financial Services - The United States: Meso-corporatism and Industrial Change - The United Kingdom: Meso-corporatism and Industrial Decline - Japan: Meso-corporatism and Industrial Power - States, Scandals and Financial Markets - Notes - IndexMichael Moran is Professor of Government at the University of Manchester Business School.
