Principles of Financial Regulation

The financial crisis of 2007-9 revealed serious failings in the regulation of financial institutions and markets, and prompted a fundamental reconsideration of the design of financial regulation. As the financial system has become ever-more complex and interconnected, the pace of evolution continues to accelerate. It is now clear that regulation must focus on the financial system as a whole, but this poses significant challenges for regulators. Principles of Financial Regulation describes how to address those challenges. Examining the subject from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective, Principles of Financial Regulation considers the underlying policies and the objectives of regulation by drawing on economics, finance, and law methodologies. The volume examines regulation in a purposive and dynamic way by framing the book in terms of what the financial system does, rather than what financial regulation is. By analysing specific regulatory measures, the book provides readers to the opportunity to assess regulatory choices on specific policy issues and encourages critical reflection on the design of regulation.

Playing the Piano, Do Re Mi sets a new standard in exemplary piano lessons. Incorporating the renowned music education philosophies of Zoltán Kodály, this new method teaches music skills in ways people learn most naturally. Students (1) use rhythm syllables (ta, titi, etc.) to fluently read rhythms without hearing them first, (2) learn solfa (do, re, mi) as a foundation for sight reading, theory, transposing, memorizing and composing, (3) focus on steps, skips and target notes in learning to read notes on the staff, rather than learning “Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge”—a distracting extra step in reading music, (4) play folk songs, the most memorable tunes the world has to offer, within a few weeks of beginning the course, (5) explore their voice and sing, and (6) compose their own songs, because learning to write music is as important–and at least as much fun—as learning to read it. It’s a complete music education, a must for every music teacher and every aspiring pianist, young and old!

Schemes of arrangement are an important and flexible mechanism, which can be used to reorganise a company's capital. Schemes have undergone a renaissance over the last twenty years, particularly as a debt restructuring device in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis when companies and their advisors have needed to develop effective tools for dealing with financial distress. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a further incentive for jurisdictions to ensure that they have an effective debt restructuring mechanism in place. Schemes have also become the mechanism of choice for recommended takeovers. This book performs a critical, contextual and comparative analysis of schemes and their uses, examines recent developments in this area, including the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020, and considers whether further reform is needed to ensure that schemes continue to develop as an indispensable tool for companies for the future.

Leaving her family's small farm to work in the thriving city of Zurich, 13-year-old Molly is thrilled to discover a new life. But she deeply regrets leaving her mother, Anna. Molly doesn't fully comprehend her mother's past, who for decades has suffered from the deaths of seven children and her husband. But Molly senses how much her mother needs her. Though life in the big city proves to be an adventure, Molly's journey toward adulthood takes a sudden turn. She contracts a bone disease that leaves her in agony. As her suffering deepens, Molly begins to truly appreciate her mother and the pain she's known for so long. At their own critical crossroads, Molly and Anna both yearn for a healing balm--one emotional, the other physical--but are powerless to know where to find it. Molly and Anna's parallel progression toward hope, healing, and faith reminds us that the gentle shepherd, who knows when even a tiny sparrow dies, is involved in the many details of our lives. This timeless, true-life story captures the essence of rural and urban Switzerland in the late 1800s. Along the way, poignant miracles illustrate the fulfilling joy of music, the enduring love of family, and the healing power of God's love.
