<I>There is much written and discussed about the origins and nature of the current financial crisis. In reaction, there are many short-term and longer-term proposals on the table. But to what extent are they ‘standard’ responses to a ‘standard’ characterization of a financial crisis, and to what extent can they be seen as responses informed by the specificity of this crisis? In this symposium, we look to explore the distinctiveness of the current crisis, in both its ‘financial’ and ‘social’ dimensions, with the object of debating regulatory and wider social responses to the crisis.<BR>
