SEMINAL
Do you want to understand the Asian Crisis or the crisis in Argentina? This book is already a classic of modern economics. As such, it is a must read for anyone with a serious interest in economics, as well as in finance, or monetary fragility, for that matter. It is the first comprehensive, as well as comprehensible, coherent, well organized and well written, presentation of a revolution in our understanding of monetary, banking and financial markets which has developed over the past twenty years. Further, using this book, in combination with Champ and Freeman, Modeling Monetary Economies, and Cooper, Coordination Games: Complementarities and Macroeconomics, it is finally possible to present sensible economics to the advanced undergraduate/junior graduate student. Truly pathbreaking.

Excelent!!!
Un excelente libro para los estudiantes de economía que quieran adentrarse en tópicos bancarios, en especial en los riesgos en que incurren estas instituciones y los problemas de agencia que existen en esta industria. Muy útil para reguladores. Solo lamento que este concentrado en Banca Comercial y deje un poco de lado el análisis de la Banca Universal.

Demand or Supply? This one has both
Reasonable book which details the intricacies of suppply and demand while also looking at monopolies and cartels in great detail. This is a good book to study for exams as it contains both mulitple choice, short answers and discursive essays. Answers are good in length but don't expect full answers for essays. Similar Products
