In Regulating Wall Street, Stern has assembled a team of experts, each a specialist in a relevant discipline, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the legislation that is now on the table. Not all of the issues addressed in the current legislation are equally important. Some, such as financial sector compensation and consumer protection - are perhaps not central to future financial stability. Others, such as the future role of the Federal Reserve, the approach to systemic risk, the restructuring of too-big-to-fail institutions, and the shadow banking system that houses OTC derivative and money markets, are undoubtedly critical to the future safety and soundness of the financial system. The debates will be both heated and ongoing - as will the book's commentary; with a blog to accompany the book upon publication, the editors and contributors will have a forum to continue their discussions regarding the effects of the future legislation, as well as opening up the debate to readers.
