Reviews
"""The story of the role of central banks over the last decade is fascinating, and Pierre Siklos is very well placed to tell it. His great strengths are that he understands the important links between politics and central bank operations, and he gives a proper emphasis to the important development of the macro-prudential pillar of monetary policy."" -- C.A.E. Goodhart, Professor in the Financial Markets Group, London School of Economics ""Central banks are changing. At the peak of their prestige during the Great Moderation, their target was low inflation, with financial stability and full employment expected to follow. Those expectations were disappointed by the Great Financial Crisis and the weak growth that followed. Professor Siklos' insightful analysis is recommended to those who would understand the experiences of central banks during these difficult times and their attempts to adapt to the new intellectual and structural environment."" -- John Wood, Reynolds Professor of Economics, Wake Forest University ""Yes, central banks did step ""into the breach"" during the financial crisis and, as Pierre Siklos argues persuasively in this book, found themselves in a strange new world. Siklos' scholarship and knowledge of central banking are hard to match. Few people in the world could have written this book."" -- Alan Blinder, Princeton University"
