Rezensionen

'Dr. Roselli's book is essential reading for all who wish to understand the recent crisis and make reoccurrence less likely. It combines understanding of history with economic analysis and the experience and knowledge of a practicing central banker. This is political economy at its best readable, well informed, and thoughtful.'
