This collection of speeches from the early/mid 1990s would be more correctly titled "Merton Miller on Regulation." Some of the speeches indeed cover the regulation of the derivatives markets. The speeches make for good reading, but this book is not a reference work for one's library. Good speeches must be relatively simple and entertaining. These are. But one should not expect a rigorous investigation of regulation (nor of derivatives regulation) in this book. The advertising on this book is misleading. This is not a book written by Merton Miller. It is a good collection of speeches given by him.
