Synopsis

This text strives to bring money and banking up-to-date by providing complete, integrated coverage of topics that are important to the twenty-first century world of money and banking. While covering the myriad topics appropriate for a money and banking course, the book is the first in the field to fully integrate coverage of international financial markets and the global economy from the outset. It also gives considerable attention to the ways in which new technologies are affecting the practice of banking, the nature of money, and the tasks of policymakers, and is the first and only text on the market to offer a fully-integrated program of accompanying online resources and multimedia tools that enhance a student's study of money and banking.

Review:

This book is truly a money & banking text of the 21st century. The authors combined a good writing style, one that is thorough yet succinct with a full coverage of the latest developments in money, banking and financial markets, along with the advent of information technology and global integration.

The figures were clearly illustrated; the use of color enhanced their readability, and I thought the accompanying text explanations were quite helpful.

The frequent references to web sites that students can access and the types of information available are great. I looked up some material myself and thought it was quite fun. The integration of international topics and the information technology revolution are also refreshing.
