The Economics of Central Banking
Autor Livio Straccaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 2018
The book originates from the author’s graduate lectures on Central Banking at the University of Frankfurt J.W. Goethe. It contains an overview of all the key questions surrounding central banks and their role in the economy. It leads the reader from the more established concepts (including monetary theory and historical experience), necessary to have a good grasp of modern central banking, to the more open and problematic questions, which are being debated within academic and financial market circles. This structure enables readers without specific knowledge of central banks or monetary economics to understand the current challenges.
The book has three defining characteristics, which set it apart from competing titles: first, it is pitched at the general public and uses simple and entertaining language. Second, it is rooted in, and makes frequent reference to, recent academic research, based on content for a graduate level course. Third, the author thinks 'out of the box' in order to describe the possible evolution of central banks (including the prospect of their disappearance), and not only the status quo.

Recenzii
"Stracca’s book on central banking will be a boon both to students and to those wanting a clearly written, non-technical introduction to the world of central banking. It covers a lot of ground and describes lucidly what central banks are all about. Explanation without mystique or abstruse technicalities." — Professor Charles Goodhart, Financial Markets Group, London School of Economics.
"This book is an excellent overview of the art of central banking. It is written with verve and authority by an author who clearly understands the intricacies and complexities of central banking, and is able to bring complex concepts to life by linking them to current policy debates." — Eswar Prasad, Tolani Senior Professor of Trade Policy at Cornell University
"Central banks’ announcements, analyses and decisions routinely make the news, often stirring controversy. Understanding how central banks operate, what they can and cannot achieve, and how they contribute to a country’s welfare is a priority for all citizens in modern democracies. This book delivers on all these accounts. Building on his experience as a central banker and an economist, Livio Stracca writes a clear and accessible analysis of long-standing and current challenges to monetary policy. The text walks the reader through the essence of complex debates on the merits and limits of inflation targeting, the consequences of low interest rates, the need for lending of last resort in a globalized financial market, the shrinking role of cash and the rise of crypto currencies, and much more." — Giancarlo Corsetti, Professor of Macroeconomics, Cambridge University
"Stracca's book provides a rigorous, but accessible, introduction to the economics of central banking in its different dimensions. It is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand, in depth, the key role played by central banks in the modern economy." — Professor Jordi Galí, CREI, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Barcelona GSE
"The Economics of Central Banking provides a concise and clear overview of why central banks exist, how they operate, and what challenges they currently face. The transparent presentation of the key points makes central banking – an often arcane looking field – readily accessible to a broad audience, and offers a sound starting point for readers interested in deepening the topic. A must read." — Cedric Tille, Professor of Economics, Program Director, Bilateral Assistance and Capacity Building for Central Banks, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

Descriere
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of central banks, and aims to make them less of a mystery to the general public, which is the only way to have a rational debate about them and ultimately to make them accountable. It has three defining characteristics, which set it apart from competing titles: first, it is pitched at the general public and uses a simple and entertaining language. Second, it is rooted in, and makes frequent reference to, recent academic research, based on content for a graduate level course. Third, the author thinks "out of the box" to describe the possible evolution of central banks (including the prospect of their disappearance), and not only the status quo.
