About this book
Using a functional approach, Ugolini charts an historical trajectory longer and broader than any other attempted on the subject. Moving away from the Anglo-American perspective, the book allows for a richer (and less biased) analysis of long-term trends. The book is ideal for researchers looking to better understand the evolution of the institutions that underlie the global economy.
Reviews
“The approach taken is a fresh one and will be useful, especially to scholars who are interested in specific areas where central banks have played an important role in economic development over time.” (Pierre Siklos, EH Net, eh.net, November, 2019)
“The Evolution of Central Banking is an outstanding volume representing both a high-quality research study in history of economics and an incredibly useful, clear and informative book of monetary political economy that can be illuminating for any person interested in how money and its institutions actually work. … The text is well written and widely accessible to both researchers and students.” (Stefano Solari, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Issue 2, 2018)
