Review:

"There is no competition for this book. Johnson's exhaustive research will benefit students and faculty greatly. The approach to the internationalization of the material is unique, the descriptive and historical material is comprehensive and detailed, and the exhaustiveness and completeness of the material of the material is impressive. It is more than a textbook. It is the most complete approach to financial institution I have seen." -- Henry M. Okleshen, Mankato State University
