Details

A valuable guide to the essential elements of modern financial systems

This book offers you a unified theory of modern financial system activity. In it, author Edwin Neave distills a large body of literature on financial systems, the institutions that comprise the systems, and the economic impacts of the systems' operation. Through non-technical summaries, Neave provides you with a primer on how financial systems work, as well as how the many parts of any financial system relate to each other. He does so in a straightforward manner, with an emphasis on economic principles and the relationship between various aspects of financial system activity.

Discusses financial governance and explains how financial markets and institutions complement each other
Identifies the economic forces at work within financial systems and explores how they determine system organization and change
Offers a theoretical survey of financial activity and its application to numerous practical situations
Explains both static financial system organization and the dynamics of financial system evolution

Following a non-technical approach, this book skillfully explores how financial systems work, as well as how the many parts of any financial system relate to each other.
