Reviews

?The world of finance is changing so quickly that we need strong moral guidance. In its third edition, John Boatright?s Ethics in Finance still serves as a safe guide. This book should be on the desk of scholars, experts, managers, and analysts from all financial institutions and markets. ?Antonio Argandona, IESE Business School ?Frederick the Great, author of the first Prussian banking law, famously said that finance is a special business practiced by special people. He was right. This excellent volume shows why. And how far we must go to return to first principles. ?Ingo Walter, Stern School of Business, New York University
