Summary

In this volume of essays - based on papers delivered to the 2001 conference, International Banking and Financial Systems - leading European bankers and banking historians give their assessment of the evolution of central banking in twentieth-century Europe. As well as providing a historical perspective, the volume also explores how the lessons of the twentieth century may be brought to bear on current and future trends in central banking. In so doing, this volume provides a fascinating insight into the ways in which economic stability and growth has been, and can be, promoted.
