Monetary and Financial Thinking in Europe:
Evidence from Four Decades of SUERF

by Jean-Paul Abraham, Vienna, 2003

ISBN 3-902109-17-3
 
Introduction  by David T. Llewellyn
Over the past forty years there have been enormous changes in the international monetary systems, the role of private markets and institutions, and in European monetary arrangements. Jean-Paul’s volume provides an excellent set of insights into the nature, causes and implications of these changes. The text also creates a strong impression about SUERF and the contribution it has made through its choice of Colloquia topics and the quality of the many papers presented at them.
