Between Law and Markets: Is there a Role for Ethics and Culture in Financial Regulation?

About this Event

What do we do when law and markets fail?  When we hear the suggestion we need to transform the culture, or ensure there is a better tone from the top, should we reach for a pistol or, as I prefer to think of it, a dagger dipped in cynicism?  More pertinently, can regulators do anything with concepts as nebulous as culture or as contested as ethics? These questions were posed by the first in Centre for Ethics and Law series of events around law and the ethics of capitalism.

Participants

• Dan Awrey, University of Oxford
• The Hon Mr Justice William Blair
• Professor David Kershaw, London School of Economics

Chaired by The Hon Mr Justice Ross Cranston
