Book on Capital Chess by IJLAE

About the Book

“Capital Chess: Strategy, Risk and Power in Corporate Banking” examines corporate and banking systems as strategic arenas where power, regulation, and risk constantly intersect. Rather than treating finance as a neutral engine of growth, the book presents it as a calculated game-one in which boardroom decisions, lending structures, regulatory frameworks, and global capital flows shape economic realities. It explores how governance mechanisms attempt to create stability while corporations and banks simultaneously pursue expansion, influence, and competitive advantage.

Moving across terrains such as mergers and acquisitions, credit economies, financial crises, compliance regimes, and digital transformation, the book asks what happens when certainty collapses-during market crashes, insolvencies, or technological disruption. It analyzes how risk is managed, shifted, or concealed; how regulation both constrains and enables power; and how innovation in fintech and global finance redraws the boundaries of control.

In moments of instability, the architecture of corporate banking becomes visible, revealing its strengths, fragilities, and strategic calculations. Drawing from corporate law, banking regulation, financial theory, and political economy, Capital Chess situates corporate banking within broader questions of accountability, inequality, and global interdependence.

It shows that finance is not simply about profit, but about the strategic organization of capital and authority. By framing corporate banking as a chessboard of deliberate moves and structural consequences, the book invites readers to rethink financial systems as evolving practices shaped by ambition, governance, conflict, and possibility.
