Sommario/riassunto

"Experts from NYU's Stern School of Business offer in-depth analysis on insurance regulations and their economic impactOver the next five years there will be many ideas presented and debated on the appropriate regulation of insurers. The Dodd-Frank Act calls for the creation of a Federal Insurance Office, with a mandate to bring to Congress a plan for "modernizing insurance regulation." Dodd-Frank also created a mechanism under the key new entity, the Federal Systemic Oversight Committee (FSOC), to take on a regulatory role for non-bank holding companies (including insurers) deemed to be "systemic." There is much controversy about this issue in particular,



with regulators and insurers debating the fundamental question: are insurers systemically risky financial institutions?This expert team of contributors addresses those questions as well as the changing regulatory and economic landscape of the insurance industry, offering insight into what future institutions will look like and how they must adapt now. Topics covered include:  Insurance industry concerns  The impact of Dodd-Frank  Systemic risks and insurance companies  Federal versus state regulations  The insurer safety net  Contributors to this work include top academics, CEOs of major insurance companies, state regulators, and those appointed under Dodd-Frank to fill insurer expert roles in the federal government, including Governor Dirk Kempthorne, Anna Paulson, Scott Harrington, Scott Campion, Roger Ferguson, Theresa Vaughan, Eric Dinallo, Shawn Cole, Peter Gallanis, and David Cummins"--

Sommario/riassunto

"What does it mean to say that a person has been educated? This question forms the basis of global education policy debates; from the way governments establish funding for national school systems, to the way children are treated in the classroom. Should there be a common ethical core to such polices? What kind of educational process should aboriginal groups in Labrador, Canada, have a moral right to, and should this process be different from what children in New York's boroughs have claim to? Should a school-based curriculum, such as the UK's National Curriculum, make well-being a central concern or are there other ethical dimensions to be addressed? Christopher Martin explores these questions and argues that the best way to consider them is to view education as a matter of public moral understanding. He brings together traditions of thought central to philosophy of education, such as R.S. Peters, and connects this tradition to the moral philosophy and critical theory of Jurgen Habermas, whose theory of Discourse Morality has previously been given little attention in education circles."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
