Data, information, knowledge, wisdom, and judgment—movement along this chain is how we humans comprehend and shape our world. Dombalagian lays the foundation for understanding how this transformation is and should be, structured, in financial markets.
Ruben Lee, CEO, Oxford Finance Group, and author of Running the World's Markets: The Governance of Financial Infrastructure
Dombalagian's book is essential for those interested in the regulatory challenges we face in light of the erosion of the twentieth-century framework for capital markets regulation. He rightly urges us to step back and assess the development, flow, integrity, regulation, and use of increasingly complex issuer and market financial information in an increasingly automated and cross-border world. The book is a refreshing and welcome addition to the literature on how to frame the appropriate policy approaches to regulation.

The role of both capital and information in the economy is important to scholars and students in law, public policy, economics, finance, and accounting. Chasing the Tape is a resource accessible across disciplines that can inform and foster the type of cross-disciplinary discussion needed to maintain well-functioning capital markets in an ever changing global environment.
