Abstract

This book is a study of power. In particular, it is a study of governmental power in Britain and France. Its focus is the changing relationship between the government and the central bank in the two countries, and it examines the politics of this relationship since the time when the Bank of England and the Bank of France were first created. The book begins by considering the issue of governmental control generally. It then focuses on monetary policy making, and asks what has been the role of governments in this area and what freedom have central banks enjoyed? After a detailed historical a

Abstract

"Central banks are powerful but poorly understood organisations. In 1900 the Bank of Japan was the only central bank to exist outside Europe but over the past century central banking has proliferated. John Singleton here explains how central banks and the profession of central banking have evolved and spread across the globe during this period. He shows that the central banking world has experienced two revolutions in thinking and practice, the first after the depression of the early 1930s, and the second in response to the high inflation of the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, the central banking profession has changed radically. In 1900 the professional central banker was a specialised type of banker, whereas today he or she must also be a sophisticated economist and a public official. Understanding these changes is essential to explaining the role of central banks during the recent global financial crisis"--

Abstract

This book fills a gap in banking literature by providing a professional and sophisticated 'risk' primer for bank directors, executives and staff at every level as well as students, analysts and commentators on the banking scene. The breadth of focus is exceptional in covering the full range of banking risks, rather than the customary specialist segment.The book begins by defining risk itself and discussing how it can be approached in a banking context. It goes on to examine the concepts of volatility, expected and unexpected loss, the role of risk capital, rate of return and the requir

Abstract

Can the 'invisible hand' handle money? George Selgin challenges the view that government regulation creates monetary order and stability, and instead shows it to be the main source of monetary crisis. The volume is divided into three sections: * Part I refutes conventional wisdom holding that any monetary system lacking government regulation is 'inherently unstable', and looks at the workings of market forces in an otherwise unregulated banking system. * Part II draws on both theory and historical experience to show how various kinds of government interference undermine the inheren

Abstract

Brickwork, which has a long history of successful usage in garden work, is increasingly being recognised as an excellent material for use in urban landscaping. In addition to its flexibility of scale, its suitability for both walling and paving allows continuity of appearance and harmony with nearby buildings. The wide choice of colours and textures makes it attractive for both formal and informal situations, and it has the great attraction of retaining its good appearance with minimum maintenance. However, although the general characteristics of brickwork as used in buildings are well documented and understood, there are important additional aspects to consider when it is used in landscaping. Exposure conditions are more severe and the correct choice of material, together with appropriate detailing, is important, while its application as paving, which need not be confined to pedestrian usage, calls for attention to drainage and a knowledge of bedding methods. This handbook, a revised version of a series that appeared in The Architects' Journal, gives guidance, based on internationally gathered data, on the properties, choice, and use of clay or calcium silicate brickwork for paving, freestanding and retaining walls, and other landscape features. In addition to the technical information are many photographs, taken from a wide variety of international sources, which provide a palette of ideas for the kind of design effects that can be achieved with what is perhaps the most environmentally sympathetic of all traditional building materials.
