9780521034494: Changing Face of Central Banking

Synopsis

Central banks have emerged as the key players in national and international policy making. This book explores their evolution since World War II in 20 industrial countries. The study considers the mix of economic, political and institutional forces that have affected central bank behaviour and its relationship with government. The analysis reconciles vastly different views about the role of central banks in the making of economic policies. One finding is that monetary policy is an evolutionary process.

Revue de presse

'This book is suitable as a part of an advanced undergraduate option on monetary economics or a semester-long course on economic policy. The author's very helpful website contains data and further readings to guide more interested readers. The lack of any great technical hurdles means that the book can be read quite easily by non-specialists and therefore should also appeal to the many commentators in Whitehall, the City and the media who will want to understand some of the issues being the continuing and growing prominence of the central bank.' Economica

'... a coherent overview of the developments in Central Banking in the second half of the twentieth century ... [the author] deserves compliments for creating an interesting, comprehensive (but of an academic standard) and useful book suited for a broad audience interested in Central Banking; from researchers and policy makers at Central Banks to students and academics at universities.' De Economist
