Authored by a leading global expert in the field of investment crowdfunding, this timely book presents a comprehensive guide to a new online marketplace for entrepreneurial capital. Professor of Law and Fulbright Scholar Andrew A. Schwartz marries theory with a decade of on-the-ground research to give lawyers, students, scholars, and policymakers a one-stop shop for everything they need to know about investment crowdfunding, its regulation, and how to improve it. Readers in the general public will find Investment Crowdfunding an accessible and engaging introduction into what is poised to become a household phrase. This book analyses American law-in particular, the JOBS Act and Regulation Crowdfunding-and compares it to the legal regimes in the UK, Canada, the EU, Australia, and New Zealand. Schwartz's prescription is liberal in the classical sense: Policymakers should rely on private ordering and financial incentives, rather than law and regulation, to govern and police the market.
