Joseph A. Grundfest, MSc, JD, PhD Biography |
| Title: |
W.A. Franke Professor of Law and Business at Stanford University |
| Position: |
Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Insider Trading by Congress Be Allowed?" |
| Reasoning: |
"...Information is property. The taking of property without consent is theft, and theft is both immoral and inefficient. Theft is inefficient because it erodes the incentive to create and invest, and subverts the important price signaling mechanisms of a free-market system..."
Speech titled "To Catch a Thief: Recent Developments in Insider Trading Law and Enforcement," June 20, 1986
