"This is a terrific book for an important topic. It
is must reading for all those interested in the key
determinants of economic growth and stability.
Phumiwasana skillfully uses data to make a
compelling case that capital markets are essential
for growth and stability in developed countries,
whereas banks play a similar role for emerging
market
economies." James R. Barth, Lowder
