The Future of Financial Privacy: Private choices versus political rules

In The Future of Financial Privacy, an array of US and European legal and economic experts attempts to clear up some of the muddle surrounding a complicated issue. Privacy is an amorphous concept, clouding and confusing public-policy debates on financial-services issues ranging from the confidentiality of what is in your bank account to the mining and sharing of data. The Future of Financial Privacy shows how to protect consumers’ privacy while preserving the benefits of free flows of information, and explores what role the government should play in all this.
