A comprehensive introductory resource with entries covering the
development of money and the functions and dysfunctions of the
monetary and financial system. The original edition of The
Encyclopedia of Money won widespread acclaim for explaining the
function-and dysfunction-of the financial system in a language any
reader could understand. Now a decade later, with a more globally
integrated, market-oriented world, and with consumers trying to
make sense of subprime mortgages, credit default swaps, and bank
stress tests, the Encyclopedia returns in an expanded new edition.
From the development of metal and paper currency to the ongoing
global economic crisis, the rigorously updated The Encyclopedia of
Money, Second Edition is the most authoritative, comprehensive
resource on the fundamentals of money and finance available. Its
350 alphabetically organized entries-85 completely new to this
edition-help readers make sense of a wide range of events,
policies, and regulations by explaining their historical,
political, and theoretical contexts. The new edition focuses most
intently on the last two decades, highlighting the connections
between the onrush of globalization, the surging stock market, and
various monetary and fiscal crises of the 1990s, as well as
developments, scandals, and pocketbook issues making headlines
today. 350 fully updated A-Z entries on the deveopment, functions,
and dysfunctions of money, banking, and credit systems, including
85 new to this edition Dozens of photographs and illustrations of
coinage and paper money from different times and places A glossary
