It is especially important for the financial sector, which cannot prosper without the support of fixed and accepted rules, appropriate standards of corporate behaviour, and sufficiently transparent and efficient markets. Ensuring the existence of these conditions is not an easy task. It is not only a question of good laws but also, and perhaps above all, of their being applied fully.
This will require, inter alia, enriching the way of thinking in economics and finance. New approaches should be considered that do not necessarily rely on the notions of equilibrium and universal rationality and efficiency. Going beyond the latter concepts may benefit from inspiration of approaches used in other fields, such as notably the natural sciences.
