Chapter Chapter 3 in Geopolitical Risk, Sustainability and “Cross-Border Spillovers” in Emerging Markets, Volume II, 2021, pp 145-247 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter: (i) explains why private-sector Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) and their ratings opinions are unconstitutional (with emphasis on CRAs that rate corporate, municipal and government financial-instruments); (ii) explains why government bailouts/bail-ins are motivated by Constitutional Political Economy issues, are unconstitutional and have not worked well; (iii) explains the unconstitutionality of “Obamacare” (the healthcare statutes enacted by the Obama administration in the USA), the European Union bailouts, the bailout of the US auto industry, the Nigerian banking industry and the Nigerian power industry. While US law is used in this chapter, the same legal principles are applicable in most common law countries.
