Product Description

Review

Praise for the first edition: "This book by a prominent historian is a succinct and well-written history of the international monetary system. . . . [It] provides useful historical background for understanding current European efforts to create a monetary union.
(Richard N. Cooper Foreign Affairs )

Praise for the first edition: "Capital flows in the recent period, unlike those in the earlier one, proved to be incompatible with exchange rate stability. [Eichengreen's] reasons for the difference . . . constitute a unique insight and contribution.
(Choice )


Review

Praise for the first edition: "Eichengreen's purpose is to provide a brief history of the international monetary system. In this, he succeeds magnificently. Globalizing Capital will become a classic.
(Douglas Irwin, author of "Against the Tide" )

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and easy to read analysis, 24 Oct 2005
This review is from: Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System (Paperback)
There is not much to say about this book apart from the fact that it is a fantastic and easy to read introductory book to the subject of international trade and the underlying monetary mechanism. There are certain parts where it would have been nicer if Eichengreen went a bit more into detail but keeping in mind that this book aims at introductory level this is not to be rated negative. I found the book great, interesting and very easy to understand and it gives a perfect foundation for deeper analysis on the topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Bible for economics students, 8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System (Paperback)
I had to read Eichengreen's book for the discpline of History of Economics at my first college year, an I think it's advisable to economics students and for people interested in the monetary sintem thought it's not a very easy undurstable book for regular people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly-written classic on the world monetery system., 11 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System (Paperback)
This book is not for the casual reader. However, we do recommend it strongly to anyone interested in understanding the relationship between global politics and international economics. Our consulting staff uses it often when discussing pricing policies and long-range financial planning with experienced and sophisticated exporters. John R. Jagoe, Director, Export Institute.
