Abstract

Breaking from conventional wisdom, this book provides an explanation of exchange rates based on the premise that it is financial capital flows and not international trade that represents the driving force behind currency movements. John T. Harvey combines analyses rooted in the scholarly traditions of John Maynard Keynes and Thorstein Veblen with that of modern psychology to produce a set of new theories to explain international monetary economics, including not only exchange rates but also world financial crises.In the book, the traditional approach is reviewed and critiqued

Abstract

Winner of the 2010 Hayek Book Prize given by the Manhattan Institute"Money, Markets and Sovereignty is a surprisingly easy read, given the complicated issues covered. In it, Mr. Steil and Mr. Hinds consistently challenge today's statist nostrums."-Doug Bandow, The Washington TimesIn this keenly argued book, Benn Steil and Manuel Hinds offer the most powerful defense of economic liberalism since F. A. Hayek published The Road to Serfdom more than sixty years ago. The authors present a fascinating intellectual history of monetary nationalism from the ancient world to the present and explore why, in its modern incarnation, it represents the single greatest threat to globalization.Steil and Hinds describe the current state of international economic relations as both unusual and precarious. Eras of economic protectionism have historically coincided with monetary nationalism, while eras of liberal trade have been accompanied by a universal monetary standard. But today, the authors show, an unprecedentedly liberal global trade regime operates side by side with the most extreme doctrine of monetary nationalism ever contrived-a situation bound to trigger periodic crises. Steil and Hinds call for a revival of the political and economic thinking that underlay earlier great periods of globalization, thinking that is increasingly under threat by more recent ideas about what sovereignty means.

Abstract

L'argent joue dans la crise que nous traversons un rôle central : l'hypertrophie de la finance a fait que l'économie financière a pris la place de l'économie productive. De grandes puissances comme les Etats-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne se sont spécialisées dans le service financier, c'est-à-dire dans la manipulation de l'argent. Il est ainsi devenu durant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle la principale marchandise faisant l'objet d'un commerce ! Alors que la crise financière progressait, des sommes gigantesques sont parties en fumée. La surprise fut générale : ceux qui plaçaient leur argent s'étaient faits à l'idée que d'autres produiraient de la richesse à l'aide de ces sommes, que l'argent non seulement reviendrait vers les prêteurs, mais aussi qu'il rapporterait, comme par une sorte de loi naturelle... Est-il possible d'assigner à l'argent une place plus " juste "? Et si l'argent, au lieu d'aller en priorité et majoritairement à ceux qui le possèdent déjà, investisseurs ou " capitalistes ", prêteurs d'argent qu'ils ont en trop en échange d'intérêts ou de dividendes, revenait vers les authentiques créateurs de richesses? Voici quelques-unes des nombreuses questions que pose L'Argent, mode d'emploi. En proposant un regard véritablement neuf et concret sur l'argent, Paul Jorion analyse en profondeur l'évolution du rapport que l'homme a entretenu avec lui et refonde d'autres perspectives pour l'avenir.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of Japan against that of China in the exchange rate regime in East Asia in light of growing interest in forming a currency union in the region. The analysis suggests that currency unions with China tend to generate higher average welfare gains for East Asian countries than currency unions with Japan or the United States. Overall, Japan does not appear to be a dominant player in forming a currency union in East Asia, and this trend is likely to continue if China's relative presence continues to rise in the regional trade.

Abstract

Liberia's experience with a dual currency regime, with the U.S. dollar enjoying legal tender status, dates to its founding as a sovereign country in 1847. Following the end of the most recent episode of civil war in late-2003, the new government has expressed interest in strengthening the role of the Liberian dollar. Liberia, however, is heavily dollarized, with the U.S. dollar estimated to account for about 90 percent of money supply. Cross-country experience suggests that dollarization does not preclude monetary policy from achieving its primary objective of price stability, and that successful and lasting dedollarization may be difficult to achieve.
