Recenzje

'This book makes for fresh reading at an important juncture, as the economic recovery weakens, while some central banks begin to exit from unprecedented crisis-response policies. We live in unchartered territory, and it helps to gain a better historical perspective of central banking and the challenges these institutions face. This book should provide the basis for debate and the development of next-generation central bank policies.' Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
