For better or worse, the direction of financial regulatory reform
post-crisis is not just the product of competing substantive views on
the merits of regulatory choices. It is also the product of competing
interests -- with competing pocketbooks. In a context here those who are
regulated hold vastly greater resources than others whose livelihoods
depend as much or more on sound regulation, it is imperative to ask
whether the rules reflect those inequalities. This conference brings
together legal scholars, regulators, judges, practitioners,
economists, political theorists and other social scientists to discuss
the role of the political process in financial services regulation and
the role of money in both.
