A scholarly review of the practices and unintended consequences of financial regulation and monitoring of the banking industry.

From the estate of Edward Kane, an internationally recognized economist specializing in banking and financial regulation.  Kane held the James. F. Cleary Chair in Finance at Boston College until retirement, and earlier in his career taught for 20 years at Ohio State.  His analysis informed modern banking regulations and, as a fan of comic books and horror movies, he is also remembered for coining the now widely-known term "zombie banks".
