Lessons in Corporate Governance from the Global Financial Crisis

Could it happen again? This book covers issues such as importance of the fiduciary duties of board members, risk management, influence of hedge funds, impact on members’ pension funds, currency hedging, role of government regulation and the extensive use of financial derivatives.
