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. 606 $aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aFinancial crises$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCorporate governance$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBusiness and politics$zUnited States 606 $aFinancial institutions$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aLiability (Law) 615 0$aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aFinancial crises$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aCapitalism$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aCorporate governance$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aBusiness and politics 615 0$aFinancial institutions$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aLiability (Law) 676 $a174 686 $aQK 600$qOBV$2rvk 700 $aRamirez$b Steven A$01684733 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808541703321 996 $aLawless capitalism$94056367 997 $aUNINA
