Professor Marc Steinberg's new book, "Rethinking Securities Law," published by Oxford University Press, is a major contribution to the literature on United States securities regulation. It is safe to say that in terms of a comprehensive, policy-oriented analysis of the entire field of U.S. securities law, there is no book quite like it. Steinberg's book was recently recognized as the best law book of 2021 by American Book Fest.

"Rethinking Securities Law" is a normative, forward-looking analysis of U.S. securities regulation written by a preeminent thought leader and prolific scholar in the field. It would be easy to say that the book is the culmination of a highly distinguished 40-year career in securities law. However, that implies, perhaps, that Steinberg might be nearing the end of his career. To those of us who know him, it would seem he probably is just getting started. He likely has at least two additional books and a couple of articles at the publisher right now.
