Larry Allen

"From Greece scrambling to meet Eurozone austerity measures to America's sluggish job growth, there is every indication that the world has not recovered from the economic implosion of 2008. And for many of us, the details of what led to the recession -- and why it has continued -- remain murky. Economic historian Larry Allen clears up the subject in The Global Economic Crisis, offering an insightful and nonpartisan chronology of events and their consequences."--Publisher's description.

Morgan Ricks

Years have passed since the world experienced one of the worst financial crises in history, and while countless experts have analyzed it, many central questions remain unanswered. Should money creation be considered a 'public' or 'private' activity - or both? What do we mean by, and want from, financial stability? What role should regulation play? How would we design our monetary institutions if we could start from scratch? In 'The Money Problem', Morgan Ricks addresses all of these questions and more, offering a practical yet elegant blueprint for a modernized system of money and banking.

Thomas F. Huertas

Crisis: Cause, Containment and Cure explains how the global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 came about, how it is being contained and what steps should be taken to prevent such a crisis from happening againches Written by the Director of the Banking Sector at the Financial Services Authority, it gives a first-hand view of policy making combined with rigorous economic analysis presented in an easily readable style. It is analytical - not anecdotal - based on up-to-date economic theory and recent policy pronouncements, including both macroeconomic and financial sector aspects. There are numerous books on the crisis but few which have the breadth, analytical rigour and first-hand experience of policy-making offered here by Dr. Huertas. Enhanced with diagrams to illustrate key concepts, this book will be a valuable resource for banks, central banks, public policy makers, banking regulators, law firms, securities associations, finance ministries, students of banking, finance and monetary economics and indeed anyone who seeks a balanced, comprehensive, global authoritative view of the crisis.
