Global Finance at Risk: The Case for International Regulation

Rating:
Summary: Best book on International Financial Market
Review: John Eatwell was a professor of mine - a wonderful individual and an accomplished economist. This book is a lucid yet comprehensive account of world financial markets. The way it is written and organized makes it easy for almost anyone to read. Although it can be complex at times, this book is an excellent, compelling argument for International Regulation. Dont think twice to buy this one.

Summary: Where Global Currency is Headed; Excellent Book.
Review: This is an excellent review of what has happened to, may happen to--and will happen to--the situation of Global Finance. Eatwell makes strong points about both currency in global markets, and its pejorative effects in local or regional areas. He brushes on many of the key issues concerned in golbal economic concerns, including Bretton Woods, IMF, the EC, the Asian economic crisis. In the end, he seems to suggest action of major restructuring of current currency guidelines, even to the point of 'support' for currencies or other like dimensions.

Overall, a very good book.
