"Insider trading, among all topics in securities regulation, has generated an extensive discourse with far greater heat than light. Steve Bainbridge has performed a valued public service by putting together the best in the legal literature with this volume. Hopefully, going forward, with this endeavor the heat/light quotient will be impacted, if not reversed." - Roberta Romano, Yale Law School, US "Insider Trading contains a superb collection of articles - providing an excellent overview of insider trading from both a theoretical and historical perspective. The book should prove quite useful for academicians and students desiring a collection of a variety of insightful sources in one volume." - Marc I. Steinberg, Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, USThis timely collection, edited by a leading academic in the field, brings together seminal works of scholarship on insider trading over a 40 year period, with contributions from many prominent law professors and economists. Areas covered in the volume include the origins and development of insider trading law, insider trading statues and the policies surrounding insider trading. Along with an original introduction, Professor Bainbridge provides a comparative and international focus as well as coverage of important issues in the US law of insider trading.
