Alessio Pacces' book represents a substantial contribution to the growing field of law and finance. It sheds new light on the problems of corporate governance from both economic and legal perspectives in countries with concentrated corporate ownership. Andrei Shleifer, Professor of Economics, Harvard University Alessio Pacces has written an important, thought provoking book on corporate governance that invites researchers in law and finance to rethink the relevance and regulation of control powers, in particular in the context of private benefits of control, conflicts of interest, self-dealing and takeovers. Klaus J. Hopt, Professor and Director (emeritus), Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg
