Fantastic and easy to read analysis - By: , 24 Oct 2005
There is not much to say about this book apart from the fact that it is a fantastic & easy to read introductory book to the subject of international trade & the underlying monetary mechanism. There are certain parts where it would have been nicer if Eichengreen went a bit more into detail but keeping in mind that this book aims at introductory level this is not to be rated negative. I found the book great, interesting & very easy to understand & it gives a perfect foundation for deeper analysis on the topic.
A Bible for economics students - By: , 09 Dec 2000
I had to read Eichengreen's book for the discpline of History of Economics at my first college year, an I think it's advisable to economics students & for people interested in the monetary sintem thought it's not a very easy undurstable book for regular people.
Clearly-written classic on the world monetery system. - By: , 11 Oct 1998
This book is not for the casual reader. However, we do recommend it strongly to anyone interested in understanding the relationship between global politics & international economics. Our consulting staff uses it often when discussing pricing policies & long-range financial planning with experienced & sophisticated exporters. John R. Jagoe, Director, Export Institute.
