Critical Acclaim
‘The volume Credit, Money and Macroeconomic Policy edited by Claude Gnos and Louis-Philippe Rochon, represents a most important contribution to our understanding of the nature and role of credit and money in modern economies. It deals with some of the most pressing issues of our time; as such it constitutes an invaluable guide for the comprehension of the effects of the last twenty years of inflation targeting policies.’
