Reviews

<p> Regulating Capital brings the timely subject of global finance within reach of a broad audience with a simple and compelling argument: financial regulators seek to harmonize regulations of capital in order to balance their twin mandates of maintaining domestic financial stability and protecting the international competitiveness of domestic financial firms. I marvel at David Andrew Singer's ability to illuminate in such a concise account the experiences of the three biggest players-the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan-in regulating the three central financial industries of banking, securities, and insurance. I expect that Singer's book will entice a new generation of political scientists to delve into the political economy of finance, for it brings this complex subject into conversation with important debates in the discipline. -Frances McCall Rosenbluth, Damon Wells Professor of Political Science and Director, Leitner Program in Comparative and International Political Economy, Yale University
