He is an expert on all aspects of corporate finance and governance, the regulation of financial institutions and the role of the corporation in contemporary society. His most recent book, Firm Commitment: Why the Corporation is Failing Us and How to Restore Trust, describes a new approach to thinking about the firm which turns it into the means of protecting our environment, addressing social problems, and creating new sources of entrepreneurship and innovation.
