Abstract

The global financial crisis that began in the summer of 2007, and was accelerated in September 2008 by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, has made financial actors generally – and large investment banks more specifically – the centre of attention. Some commentators condemn their ability to circulate vast amounts of capital with no geographical limits, and thus to create damaging competition (Arnoldi, 2004; Bryan and Rafferty, 2006; LiPuma and Lee, 2004, 2005; Pryke and Allen, 2000). The legitimate question of stronger regulation and supervision that would limit their freedom of action arises acutely in this context (Davis, 2009).
