Nice Biliography on The Future of Insurance Regulation

Martha Henn McCormik at the Networks Financial Institute has produced a nice biography of regulatory reform.

Book Update

Thanks to Mike the Actuary for noting that Amazon now has a copy of our book, The Future of Insurance Regulation for order.   It is a new improved version of papers presented last July at the AEI.

A New Treasury Blueprint?

It seems similar to the last, according to this Reuters report, but it looks like insurance consumer protection might be regulated at the federal level. 

"The Fed could also lose some of its consumer protection responsibilities, which would move to a new agency that would supervise financial products, such as credit cards, mortgage-related products and insurance."

Or does it mean that the whole industry ball of wax gets the federal treatment?

New book

Last week I had the privilege of testifying before Congress on the future of insurance regulation (more on that later).  Today, I received a copy of a book edited by Bob Klein and me with the same title.

It does not appear to be on Amazon -- which just seems strange to me.  It is also missing from the front page of Brookings Press, but  you can order a copy here.  I am not impressed with their website as there is missing information on the book site.
