‘Coggins’s book is a useful review and provides an excellent presentation of the debates that will surely continue into the twenty-first century.’
– Ronnie J. Phillips, Journal of Economic Issues

‘The book is exactly what is required to provide an informed judgement on the various
possible alternatives for regulatory reform. The author makes it clearly understood that a regulatory regime can only be judged relative to the economic system in which it is applied. He provides a clear and comprehensive account of the two basic alternative approaches to regulatory reform. The book not only provides a critique of the free market approach, it provides useful indications for the specification of an alternative line of analysis.’
– Jan Kregel, University of Bologna, Italy

‘Coggins makes an important contribution to the current debate on financial deregulation. He shows convincingly that liberalising financial markets is no panacea for economic growth. It is essential for Europe to understand the American experience of deregulation if the European Union is to move successfully in this direction.’
– Mark Knell, De Montfort University, UK
