Financial Systems at the Crossroads: Lessons for China

Written by leading financial experts, this book studies the causes of financial disasters internationally. The research team is drawn from the global research networks of three leading universities: the Antai College of Economics and Management at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the School of Economics at Fudan University, and the Earth Institute at Columbia University.

This review volume identifies the regulatory framework to guide the emergence of efficient financial institutions that are prudent; and to specify the required institutional mechanisms to prevent and resolve systemic collapse. It examines the specific circumstances of China to come up with a comprehensive agenda to reform China’s financial sector.

It provides in-depth analysis of China’s financial industry to show its future evolution and offers lessons for developing a financial system that is efficient, innovative, and resilient.
