Beginning with the premise that an asset price bubble and excessive leverage are the primary reasons for the 2007-2010 financial crisis, this work explores the development of the situation and
the response of regulatory regimes. Brief chapters at the end consider possible new approaches, such as the establishment of early warning systems for fragility that might stave off another
crisis. Saleh, currently a doctoral researcher at Cass Business School, presents extensive analysis and information in a conversational tone making the volume accessible to the general reader.
