Rethinking Regulation and Monetary Policies

As well as recent events highlighting the impact of major and even local elections on capital markets, the impacts of uncertainties in these markets ¿ as very clearly demonstrated by Brexit results and outcomes, should not be undermined. Such is the impact of uncertainties ¿ as reflected by the weights attached to the values of data and accounting information for users in financial markets in many capital market economies. This volume amongst several other objectives aims to highlight that the claim that ¿democracy has only served as another instrument for sustaining a system of individual privileges, protected by coercive power and and complicity institutional permissiveness? ¿,Has been fueled and bolstered by failures to acknowledge and factor in, the growing significance of new and powerful players in the digital and political economy. The volume also aims to highlight how and why such players should be monitored and regulated.
