Inhalt:
In this book, Dow and Saville expound a theory of monetary policy, and examine how it has worked in the UK. Writing from personal experience of working in a central bank, they analyse the behaviour of the banking system and the difficulties of central bank control. In a clearly written account they explain the changes that are taking place in monetary policy, and challenge some of the accepted wisdoms of our time
