"As long as insider trading has existed, people have been fixated on it. Newspapers
give it front-page coverage. Cult movies romanticize it. Politicians make or break
careers by pillorying, enforcing, and sometimes engaging in it. But, oddly, no one
seems to know what's really wrong with insider trading, or-because Congress has never
defined it-exactly what it is. This confluence of vehemence and confusion has led
to a dysfunctional enforcement regime in the United States that runs counter to its
stated goals of efficiency and fairness. In this illuminating book, John P. Anderson
summarizes the current state of insider trading law in the U.S. and around the globe.
After engaging in a thorough analysis of the practice of insider trading from the
normative standpoints of economic efficiency, moral right and wrong, and virtue theory,
he offers concrete proposals for much-needed reform" ; "As long as insider trading
