What is needed now is a global discussion on financial rules and regulations, an issue that was just addressed at the 2012 Davos World Economic Forum, says Prof. Argandoña. Such conversations should involve many different countries, since they all have different systems. Europe, for example, he said, faces the daunting challenge of integrating 27 countries - each with different regulations.
