5.0 out of 5 stars Like It, Lovett, Want more of it, May 31, 2000
This book is an excellent source. Lovett traces the development of the current trends in banking and financial law, beginning with the First Bank of the U.S. The book also explains how banking law evolved with respect to the existing economic and political climate. Buy this book! There is no better synopsis of banking/financial law.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could be much better., May 21, 2008
This review is from: Banking and Financial Institutions Law in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
Needs to be much more nuts and boltsy, and less soft survey like. As an example, doesn't even define what makes a bank regulatable as a bank -- one of the most basic issues in banking law.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This edition does include post-2008 crisis content, although Dodd-Frank is still unfolding so don't expect current regulatory code, etc. Great history and primer on financial regulation.
