Recenzje

Aus den Rezensionen: "... Rigoros, mit zahlreichen Quellenverweisen und umfangreichem Index, wartet das Buch mit vielen zeitgenössischen und zeitgeschichtlichen Beispielen aus der Wirtschaftspolitik auf. Damit wird das vermeintlich trockene Thema Geldtheorie lebendiger als in anderen Werken dieses Schlags. Die mathematischen Erklärungen und Herleitungen sind mit Grundkenntnissen in Differenzialrechnung zu verstehen. Die einzelnen Abschnitte von 'Monetary Economics' sind damit zugänglicher, als es dem Volumen nach auf den ersten Blick aussieht. Bei dem nicht unerheblichen Gewicht ... eignet sich das Buch am besten als Nachschlagewerk ..." (in: Börsen-Zeitung, 27/February/2010, S. 19)
