Customer Review: The first half of the book talks about philosophy. He could have just put in one chapter and the reader would have got the point. The second half of the books talks about the financial market. An average read.
Customer Review: Kindleberger who passed away before the current financial crisis wrote the best book I have read on financial crises. His analysis of boom and bust cycle is prescient. It is much superior to Morris' still excellent The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash... more info

Customer Review: This is an outstanding book, both in scope and detail. I regret only that the book was not available years ago so that my generation of World War II and the crucial years thereafter could get a proper education about economics in general and our U.S. money system in particular.

The book seems to be a blow-by-blow vendetta of the author against Alan Greenspan. And while the author... more info
Customer Review: .... rush in where even fools and Englishmen fear to tread. Friedman's "Monetary History" is monumental in research and in influence, and it would be mad indeed to attempt to refute it or "review" it in a few hundred words. I read it in an earlier edition, and even then I certainly made no scholarly... more info

Customer Review: Subsequent events have proven this book to be somewhat prophetic. Richard Duncan offers a very good, although somewhat dry, exposition of the international financial structures that emerged in the wake of the failure of the Bretton Woods system. The author is reasonably evenhanded in his assessment... more info
