successful economy the world has known was born the very same year
that Adam Smith published the greatest of all economic books, "The
Wealth of Nations," Roy C. Smith shows, clearly and informatively,
how Smithian economics and American politics and entrepreneurship
intertwined to produce that wonder called the American
economy."
--John Steele Gordon, author of" The Great Game "and "The Business
of America: Tales from the Marketplace"

Few sectors of the global economy have experienced the dynamic and
structural change that has occurred over the past several decades
in banking and financial services or as much turbulence and damage
to the economy and to ordinary people. Regulatory and technological
changes have been among the main catalysts of change in the
financial industry worldwide, making entrenched competitive
structures obsolete and mandating the development of new products,
new processes, new strategies, and new public policies toward the
industry.
This third edition of Global Banking reassess the continuing
transformational process of global banking and finance--its causes,
its course, and its consequences. It begins with an overview of the
most recent developments and goes on to examine the major
dimensions of international commercial and investment banking,
including money and foreign exchange markets, debt capital markets,
international bank lending, derivatives, asset-based and project
financing, and equity capital markets. Later, the various advisory
businesses--mergers and acquisitions, privatizations, institutional
asset management, and private banking--are analyzed. In each case,
the factors that distinguish the winners from the losers are
identified. This is brought together in the final section of the
book, which deals with problems of strategic positioning and
execution, as well as critical risk issues and regulations.
