Shadow Banking in China

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Shadow banking is attractive to those who like the informal sector, and other alternatives to the highly regulated state. For some observers, it is frightening, and global financial crises are blamed on it. Shen Wei informs and appeals to both groups in this comprehensive and innovative book on Shadow Banking in China. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in modern China, the regulatory strategies of the modern state, or money and banking.' -- Saul Levmore, University of Chicago 'If one wants to understand either the past or the future of the world financial system, one must understand the nature, impact, and role of shadow banking. If one wants to understand shadow banking, one must understand what the Chinese Communist Party might call ''shadow banking with Chinese characteristics.'' This book, by a highly respected legal and economic scholar explains both.' -- Frank Upham, New York University, School of Law 'Shadow banking has become one of the most important areas of study in domestic and international finance. China's sector is recognised as particularly significant, not least because of its size, and potential to destabilise. This work by a leading scholar contains a detailed factual explanation of the sector, and places it in the context of China's financial and regulatory system as a whole. The book is a valuable source of information and analysis that will provide a solid basis for practitioners, regulators and academics alike.' -- Sir William Blair, Justice of the Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court, President of the Board of Appeal of the European Supervisory Authorities
