“After the Flood covers an impressive breadth of topics—fitting for a book in honor of well-respected economist José Sheinkman’s contributions. Many of the essays deal with an important topic in Sheinkman’s recent research: the regulation and social value of financial institutions. Leading scholars in the field—some of them Scheinkman’s collaborators, including Tano Santos, Patrick Bolton, Albert S. Kyle, Aloisio Araujo, Rafael Ferreira, and Bruno Funchal—provide thoughtful essays, which will significantly advance the field.”

“For this important collection of essays in honor of José Sheinkman, the editors have brought together a truly impressive team of international contributors who, together, provide a coherent, thought-provoking, and well-written analysis of the causes of the recent financial crises. After the Flood will be tremendously useful to researchers and graduate students.”
