Previous editions of Robert Z. Aliber's The New International Money Game have been widely acclaimed as the best and most entertaining introduction to the arcane enigmas of international finance. Since its original publication, the book has become a classic primer for beginning students, businesspersons, and anyone interested in a clear explanation of international monetary and financial issues.
With expert knowledge and a wry sense of humor, Aliber demystifies international finance by breaking through the jargon barrier and presenting technical issues in a clear and concise manner. Aliber takes the reader on a tour of a multiplicity of international finance issues, included fixed and floating exchange rates, devaluations, money markets, monetary policy, and the concepts that lie behind the esoteric language of financial economists.
This sixth edition tracks the changes that have taken place in the world economy since the previous editions by exploring financial globalization, postcommunist transition, European integration, and the Asian economic crisis. It is an indispensable and highly readable guide to the complex and increasingly fragile system through which the world's business is financed.
Robert Z. Aliber is a professor of international economics and finance at the University of Chicago. Among his previous books are Monetary Reform and World Inflation, National Monetary Policies and the International Finance System, and The Multinational Program.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Torre, Vincent - Design (illustrateur). Fourth Edition. 356 Pages Indexed. The previous owner's small name label and the number 2 in pencil is on the half title page. No other marks or stamps to this square book with tight, bright, white text pages. This book describes the politics and economics of international finance and explains the merits, shortcomings, and future prospects of the world monetary systems. Now recognized as the standard text in the field, The International Money Game is a comprehensive and highly readable guide to the complex-and increasingly fragile-system through which the world's business is financed and our future determined. This revised and expanded fourth edition has been thoroughly updated on such topical developments as the growing external debt problems of Argentina and Mexico, the oil glut's impact on the future of OPEC, and the surge of takeovers of U.S. firms by foreign investors. There is also a wholly new chapter on how government policy affects the international monetary order. Its no joke to make a good read out of floating currencies, sliding parties, crawling pegs, gliding rates, eurodollars, and all their unsexy kin, but Professor Aliber, with a nice sense of irony, has done just that. As an introduction to world money issues, his book has been highly recommended.
