Even without the loss of the City of London from its jurisdiction, the EU has gone through a decade-long revolution in financial supervision and regulation since Lehman Brothers\u2019 bankruptcy in 2008.\nThe directives and regulations introduced in the wake of the crisis took years to negotiate, implement and stress-test against political reality in the last five years.\xa0The second wave of the crisis, which exposed the \u201cdoom loop\u201d between fiscally weak states and their pet banks, spawned the European Banking Union but left some crucial remedial work undone.\nIn this update of their 2015 edition of\xa0European Banking and Financial Law\xa0(Routledge, 2020),\xa0Matthias Haentjens\xa0and\xa0Pierre de Gioia Carabellese\xa0provide a comprehensive description and analysis of this growing body of new law, its origins, and policy implications.\nMatthias Haentjens is professor of law, director of the Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law at the University of Leiden, and a deputy judge in the district court of Amsterdam.\n*His book recommendations are\xa0Stalingrad\xa0by Vasily Grossman (1952 \u2013 translated by Robert Chandler \u2013 Harvill Secker, 2019) and\xa0Made at Home\xa0by Giorgio Locatelli (Fourth Estate, 2017).\nTim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Global Advisors.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
