Money, Financial Intermediation, and Governance

Abstract:     
This book unifies deeply related topics in money and banking. By continually building on the assumption that economic actors are maximizers, it explains how monetary and financial services, as well as related governance mechanisms, influence economic performance. In this manner, Money, Financial Intermediation and Governance not only lets readers make sense of today's monetary authorities and financial markets, it also lets them see through superficial complexities to fundamental influences that will shape those organizations for years to come.

Mastering this analytical process is important for scholars and professionals in politics, law, and business, as well as individuals who are interested in their own financial security. Successful readers will enjoy an enduring ability to productively anticipate, respond to, and even shape macroeconomic and related politico-legal developments. This book's greatest contribution may thus be to help readers enjoy the lasting advantages of becoming careful thinkers.
