Cambridge University Press Bimetallism
Book SynopsisThis history of bimetallic monetary regimes in the Western world shows how changes in coining technology and fiscal systems affected the evolution of monetary regimes. The book explains why bimetallism was preferred to a gold standard before 1800. This book was first published in 2000.Trade Review"Any historian of monetary standards needs not only to read Bimetallism: An Economic and Historical Analysis but also to keep a copy nearby...Redish has produced a wonderful book that any scholar of monetary standards will admire. All in all, my reaction to Bimetallism: An Economic and Historical Analysis is unqualified admiration." EH.Net"Redish has produced a lovely and enlightening study of money systems from the medieval period to the present...The work is beautifully enriched by Redish's excellent integration of historical and economic analysis...A most commendable publication. Highly recommended for lower-division undergraduate through faculty collections." ls Choice"The book provides an anlytical and descriptive history of the monetary standard...'The book attempts to straddle the gap between these two literatures, to allow for more complex monetary system than the economists' 'commodity money' and to find generalities that are buried in the historians' details'. Redish succeeds admirably in this goal." Lawrence H. Officer, Department of Economics, University of Illinois at ChicagoTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; 1.

Cambridge University Press The International Monetary Fund in the Global Economy Banks Bonds and Bailouts
Book SynopsisThe explosive growth and increasing complexity of global financial markets are defining characteristics of the contemporary world economy. Unfortunately, financial globalization has been accompanied by a marked increase in the frequency and severity of financial crises. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has taken a central role in managing these crises through its loans to developing countries. Despite extensive analysis and criticism of the IMF in recent years, key questions remain unanswered. Why does the Fund treat some countries more generously than others? To what extent is IMF lending driven by political factors rather than economic concerns? In whose interests does the IMF act? In this book, Mark Copelovitch offers novel answers to these questions. Combining statistical analysis with detailed case studies, he demonstrates how the politics and policies of the IMF have evolved over the last three decades in response to fundamental changes in the composition of international caTrade Review'The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is one of the world's most important economic institutions, especially in times of crisis. Yet we lack a full understanding of how and why it operates as it does, and in particular of the political forces that affect it. In The International Monetary Fund in the Global Economy, Mark Copelovitch makes the case that the IMF's behavior responds to the interests represented by the major financial powers, as well as to the goals of the IMF's professional staff. Copelovitch presents a series of clear-headed, theoretically grounded arguments, then subjects them to empirical assessment. He analyzes an original database of 197 IMF programs over twenty years, and then provides two extensive country studies, of IMF relations with Mexico and Korea in the 1980s and 1990s. Both the statistical analysis and the detailed narratives provide compelling evidence for Copelovitch's political economy arguments. The International Monetary Fund in the Global Economy is a careful, persuasive application of the ideas and methods of modern political economy to a crucially important topic. It will be of interest to any serious scholar or student of international political economy, international relations, and international economics.' Jeffry Frieden, Harvard'This is an outstanding piece of political science that combines richly detailed case studies based on primary documents with impressive quantitative results. Copelovitch argues convincingly that banks heavily influence IMF lending, but their influence depends on the composition of capital flows and the consistency of the interests of the major powers.' Randall Stone, University of Rochester'This book represents a major contribution to the growing literature on the IMF and, more generally, to the understanding of the political economy of international organizations. Using an original 'common agency' perspective, Mark Copelovitch presents an innovative way to address decision-making at the international financial institutions, which is driven both by the major shareholder governments and by the bureaucratic staff of these organizations. Copelovitch shows that both the intensity and the heterogeneity of the preferences of the IMF's major shareholders determine whether a country will receive favorable treatment from the institution. The book furthermore shows that the nature of IMF lending has changed because of major historical shifts in patterns of international financing from concentrated sovereign bank lending to decentralized portfolio investment and bank lending to the private sector. The greater collective action problems generated by these new forms of international finance force the IMF to make larger loans with more extensive conditionality in order to reassure global markets. Copelovitch substantiates his theoretical claims with both sophisticated statistical analysis and detailed case studies. This is a must-read for both scholars of international political economy and policy-makers interested in the IMF's evolving role in the global financial system.'

Cambridge University Press The Past and Future of Central Bank Cooperation
Book SynopsisThis book looks back at the historical experience of central bank cooperation in the western world since the late nineteenth century. It provides a systematic analysis of the nature and characteristics of this form of co-operation and offers a global perspective on what its future might look like.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Central banks play as central a role in economic welfare and financial stability today as they have ever played. And globalization makes cooperation among monetary and financial authorities even more crucial than before. This volume throws valuable new light on the way cooperation has been conducted in the past and on some of the key issues that will confront central bank collaboration in the future.' Sir Andrew Crockett, President, JP Morgan Chase InternationalReview of the hardback: 'This clear and well researched book on 130 years of central bank cooperation will be a unique tool for historians and economists. It doesn't discuss the desirability of cooperation but it explains how it worked (or, in some cases, did not work).' Jacques de Larosière, Former President, European Bank for Reconstruction and DevelopmentReview of the hardback: 'It offers a valuable insight into the world of central bank cooperation, both past and future, and how the past is shaping the future.'

Cambridge University Press moneyanditsuseinmedievaleurope
Book SynopsisThis is a full-scale study of the history of money, not merely of coinage, to have been written for medieval Europe. The book is not limited to one country, or to any one period or theme, but extracts the most important elements for the historian across the broadest possible canvas. Its scope extends from the mining of precious metals on the one hand, to banking, including the use of cheques and bills of exchange, on the other. Chapters are arranged chronologically, rather than regionally or thematically, and offer a detailed picture of the many and changing roles played by money, in all its forms, in all parts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Thus money is seen as having differing values for differing parts of individual societies. The book shows money moving and changing as a result of war and trade and other political, economic and ecclesiastical activities without regard for national barriers or the supposed separation between 'East' and 'West'.Trade Review' … a major contribution to numismatic literature, and a mature achievement by a scholar whose name will be well known to most readers … It is a book to read and re-read, for it is the fruit of very wide historical learning, assimilated by an experienced monetary historian, who has thought constructively about the problems he discusses for half a life-time … Highly recommended.'

Cambridge University Press Money in Classical Antiquity Key Themes in Ancient History
Book SynopsisThis book was the first to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the impact of money on the economy, society and culture of the Greek and Roman worlds. It uses new approaches in economic history to explore how money affected the economy in antiquity and demonstrates that the crucial factors in its increasing influence were state-formation, expanding political networks, metal supply and above all an increasing sophistication of credit and contractual law. Covering a wide range of monetary contexts within the Mediterranean over almost a thousand years (c.600 BCâAD 300), it demonstrates that money played different roles in different social and political circumstances. The book will prove an invaluable introduction to upper-level students of ancient money, while also offering perspectives for future research to the specialist.Trade Review'Sitta von Reden offers an admirable introduction to some of the main themes in current debates on the use of money in the Classical world. As such, [this volume] will serve as an instructive and clearly presented book to be used in courses dealing with ancient economic matters. The book chimes well with the recent trend among ancient economic historians to seek inspiration from the so-called new institutional economics. Indeed, it seems a both careful and nuanced contribution to this body of scholarship.' Peter Fibiger Bang, The Journal of Roman StudiesTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Monetization: issues; 2.
