Description

The New International Monetary System brings together twelve original contributions by leading scholars and practitioners to a conference convened in May 2008 on the occasion of the retirement of Alexander Swoboda.

The contributions are arranged in three main parts. Part I deals with the international financial architecture, Part II examines the ever-controversial role of exchange rate regimes and Part III takes stock of the conduct of monetary policy and the challenges posed by the inflation-targeting strategy.

The chapters provide considered assessments of virtually all the hotly debated issues that concern monetary policies seen from an international perspective.

Edited by and with an introduction from Charles Wyplosz, the collection includes contributions from some of the key international figures in the field of monetary policy, central banking and exchange rate regimes to discuss contemporary international monetary issues.

Contributors include Michael Bordo, Barry Eichengreen, Ronald McKinnon and Charles Goodhart.

The volume also contains tributes from Paul Volcker and Jean-Pierre Roth.
