This new edition retains the two organizing themes of the prior editions: that an underlying theory of the corporation is necessary to resolve any difficult questions in corporate law and that those difficult questions revolve around the tension between fiduciary obligation and contract principles that form the basis of corporate law. It also introduces new thematic material on the role of capital markets in both finance and corporate governance. In addition, new emphasis is placed on derivatives trading and capital markets, with particular reference to the Dodd-Frank Act. New sections incorporate the regulation of financial institutions into the study of coporate finance. With the addition of new author, Arthur E. Wilmarth, Jr., the authors continue to streamline and reorganize the materials in order to make learning and teaching easier.
“[A]n eminently teachable and up-to-date collection of cases, readings and provocative problems…” — Professor Leon Lebowitz, The University of Texas School of Law, on the first edition
