By CEI Staff, Competitive Enterprise Institute, January 2000

In The Future of Financial Privacy, a new book from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an array of US and European legal and economic experts attempts to answer those questions and clear up some of the muddle surrounding these complicated issues. Privacy is an amorphous concept, clouding and confusing public policy debates on financial-services issues ranging from the confidentiality of what’s in your bank account to the mining and sharing of data.

The Future of Financial Privacy shows how to protect consumers’ privacy while preserving the benefits of free flows of information, and explores what role the government should play in all this.
