Known for three editions over 20-plus years as Commodities Regulation, this work has metamorphosed to accommodate exponential growth and substantial upheaval in the area. It appears under a new title that better describes the complexity of futures contracts, options, and other structured instruments offered by organized markets as well as hybrid financial products from banks and investment houses. Harnessing their well-honed attention to detail and thoroughness, Johnson (currently in private practice; formerly chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, among other activities) and Hazen (law, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) set forth their expertise on the derivative markets and regulation, the marketing effort, the Commission, and offenses and remedies. The Commodity Exchange Act is appended; and tables of cases, interpretative letters, statutes, and regulations round out the three-volume set.
