The Changing Face of Central Banking: Evolutionary Trends Since World War II (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521780254)

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 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.
