Ramirez posits that the subprime mortgage crisis, as well as the global macroeconomic catastrophe it spawned, is traceable to a gross failure of law. The rule of law must appropriately channel and constrain the exercise of economic and political power. Used effectively, it ensures that economic opportunity isn’t limited to a small group of elites that enjoy growth at the expense of many, particularly those in vulnerable economic situations. In Lawless Capitalism, Ramirez calls for the rule of law to displace crony capitalism. Only through the rule of law, he argues, can capitalism be reconstructed.Liability (Law)Law and economicsFinancial institutionsLaw and legislationUnited StatesBusiness and politicsUnited StatesCorporate governanceMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesCapitalismMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesFinancial crisesMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Moral and ethical aspectsLiability (Law)Law and economics.Financial institutionsLaw and legislationBusiness and politicsCorporate governanceMoral and ethical aspectsCapitalismMoral and ethical aspectsFinancial crisesMoral and ethical aspectsGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Moral and ethical aspects.174346.73082QK 600OBVrvkRamirez Steven A.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1544692DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910786445103321Lawless capitalism3799109UNINA
