Recenzje

People interested in the drama of modern central banking may be surprised to learn that most of the script was written before 1800. This book offers a comprehensive collection of the life histories of early central banks, with storylines that are always informative even if they rarely feature happy endings. The relevance of these narratives is illuminated by a novel conceptual framework that connects the hard lessons of history to the challenges faced by present-day central banks.
