Sommario/riassunto

"The world of finance is changing so quickly that we need strong moral guidance. In its third edition, John Boatright's Ethics in Finance still serves as a safe guide. This book should be on the desk of scholars, experts, managers, and analysts from all financial institutions and markets."   -Antonio ArgandoƱa, IESE Business School   "Frederick the Great, author of the first Prussian banking law, famously said that finance is a special business practiced by special people. He was right. This excellent volume shows why. And how far we must go to return to first principles."   -Ingo Walter, Stern School of Business, New York University.
