Item description from seller

356 Pages Indexed. The previous owner's small name label and the number 2 in pencil is on the half title page. No other marks or stamps to this square book with tight, bright, white text pages. This book describes the politics and economics of international finance and explains the merits, shortcomings, and future prospects of the world monetary systems. Now recognized as the standard text in the field, The International Money Game is a comprehensive and highly readable guide to the complex-and increasingly fragile-system through which the world's business is financed and our future determined. This revised and expanded fourth edition has been thoroughly updated on such topical developments as the growing external debt problems of Argentina and Mexico, the oil glut's impact on the future of OPEC, and the surge of takeovers of U.S. firms by foreign investors. There is also a wholly new chapter on how government policy affects the international monetary order. Its no joke to make a good read out of floating currencies, sliding parties, crawling pegs, gliding rates, eurodollars, and all their unsexy kin, but Professor Aliber, with a nice sense of irony, has done just that. As an introduction to world money issues, his book has been highly recommended. Contents in 21 Chapters: The Name of the Game Is Money, A System Is How the Pieces Fit, The Greatest Monetary Agreement in History, The Gnomes of Zurich A London Euphemism for Speculation Against Sterling, Gold How Much Is a Barbarous Relic Worth? They Invented Money So They Could Have Inflation, Oil and the OPEC Roller Coaster, The Dollar and Coca-Cola Are Both Brand Names, Radio Luxembourg and the Eurodollar Market Are Both Offshore Stations, Central Bankers Read Election Returns Not Balance Sheets. Monetary Reform Where Do the Problems Go When They Are Assumed Away? Bargains and the Money Game, The Underground Economies and the Bureaucratic Imperative, International Tax Avoidance A Game for the Rich, Banking on the Wire, The Rise of the House of Cornfeld And the Fall , Why Are Multinational Firms Mostly American? Japan The First Superstate? Optimal Bankrupts Deadbeats on an International Treadmill, Zlotys Rubles and Leks, and Fitting the Pieces Once Again.
