Review
This book is truly a money & banking text of the 21st century. The authors combined a good writing style, one that is thorough yet succinct with a full coverage of the latest developments in money, banking and financial markets, along with the advent of information technology and global integration.

The figures were clearly illustrated; the use of color enhanced their readability, and I thought the accompanying text explanations were quite helpful.

The frequent references to web sites that students can access and the types of information available are great. I looked up some material myself and thought it was quite fun. The integration of international topics and the information technology revolution are also refreshing.

A Gem
Excellent and brilliant book. I used it to successfully pass the Dantes Money and Banking exam. Amazingly, it's as thick as phone book, yet very easy to read. After completing a chapter, you just long for more. I recommend it.
