Download or read book The New Art of Central Banking written by M L Burstein and published by Springer. This book was released on 1991-02-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central banking is being turned upside down by innovations such as securitization, complex options dealings and Euro-asset transactions that are denationalizing money and making it impossible for central banks to regulate costs of capital. Nor can central banks modulate business cycles in open economies; study of banking policy and business fluctuations suggests that the 'real' importance of bank-credit changes has long been exaggerated. The new art of central banking may culminate in masterly inactivity.
