Evolution of Banking Regulation in the European Union: An Economic Approach - Hardcover

by Nikolay Gertchev (Author)

The Evolution of Banking Regulation in the European Union: An Economic Approach puts the analysis of banking regulation back where it belongs--within the study of the monetary system. Drawing on the theories of Walter Bagehot, this book offers a coherent and analytical framework for an integrated economic approach to a variety of banking regulations. Foregrounding the economics of money and the analysis of monetary institutions in the rationale for banking regulation, this book contributes to the discussion on the nature and efficiency of banking regulation and on its broader consequences for the economy, with a focus on the European Union.
