More DescriptionIn the context of a deepening of financial integration in the European Union, this book - the third in this series, edited by Nobel Laureate Robert Solow - examines precisely how the rules governing finance are constructed, how they are interpreted and how they are challenged. It demonstrates that in times of crisis, the instability of their foundations is clearly exposed. Drawing on the series of crises that unfolded at the end of the 20th century, world-renowned specialists come together to analyse the process of contemporary integration. The discussions are centred around: rationality hypotheses in finance; banking consolidation; the evolution of financial techniques; the Europeanization of monetary policy; systemic risk; and suggestions for a blueprint for new financial markets in Euroland.
