Rebuilding confidence in the financial system after the Great Financial Crisis requires more than enacting new rules; it requires a change in behavior (ethical dimension) and a different set of incentives to reconnect the interests of bankers and financiers with the interests of society. Any new normative account of financial law—whether national, European, or international—must therefore consider that financial law does not operate in a vacuum and that we need to reconcile this rather “novel” discipline with “traditional” established legal principles, in particular when it comes to human rights. Indeed, one of the lessons of the crisis is that finance should not be dissociated from the ethical foundations that underlie the legal system. Finance needs to go back to being an instrument for wealth creation (and not just for a few) and development.
