Summary

The end is nigh for financial regulation. The financial revolution will not be televised; rather, it will be liked, shared, tweeted, and direct messaged. Data technology, such as “apps” for cellular phones, may prove to be as transformative for investing as the telegraph or even the Internet. But few people understand how these technologies impact investing. This book explores the legal dynamics and ramifications of financial regulations in the digital age and offers readers a detailed, but digestible, account of corporate finance history. It pairs lively narrative with brief applications of economic theory. This provides readers with the historical context and theoretical framework needed to understand the true nature of finance today – and where finance is trending.
