Summary Crisis: Cause, Containment and Cure explains how the global financial crisis of 2007 came about, how it is being contained and what steps should be taken to prevent such a crisis from happening again. Written by the Director of the Banking Sector at the Financial Services Authority, it gives a first hand view of policy-making combined with rigorous economic analysis presented in an easily readable style. It is analytical - not anecdotal - based on up-to-date economic theory and recent policy pronouncements, including both macroeconomic and financial sector aspects. --
Enhanced with diagrams to illustrate key concepts, this book will be a valuable resource for banks, central banks, public policy-makers, banking regulators, law firms, trade associations, finance ministries, students of banking, finance and monetary economics and indeed anyone who seeks a balanced, comprehensive, global, authoritative view of the crisis. --Book Jacket
