Critical Acclaim
‘The international economy in recent years has been dominated by a process of de-globalisation and an attempt to move away from an international monetary order dominated by the US dollar. In contrast, we see countries, such as Argentina, now politically embracing dollarisation, while others adopting private denationalised cryptocurrencies. The Kappes-Arauz book offers crucial insights to various aspects of dollarisation in the world today, from theory to historical/institutional analysis, thereby making this book essential reading for advanced researchers and policymakers alike.’
