The Emergence of Modern Central Banking from 1918 to the Present (Studies in Banking History)

The 20th century witnessed the rise of modern central banking and, at its close, the first steps in the decline of the role of some of the most famous of these institutions. In this volume, contributors examine the process whereby central banks emerged and asserted themselves within the economic and political spheres of their respective countries. The 12 essays cover European, Asian and Latin American experiences and many of them use a comparative approach.
