The Squam Lake Report: Fixing the Financial System
Abstract
In the fall of 2008, fifteen of the world's leading economists-representing the broadest spectrum of economic opinion-gathered at New Hampshire's Squam Lake. Their goal: the mapping of a long-term plan for financial regulation reform. The Squam Lake Report distills the wealth of insights from the ongoing collaboration that began at these meetings and provides a revelatory, unified, and coherent voice for fixing our troubled and damaged financial markets. As an alternative to the patchwork solutions and ideologically charged proposals that have dominated other discussions, the Squam Lake group sets forth a clear nonpartisan plan of action to transform the regulation of financial markets-not just for the current climate-but for generations to come.
