The perfect balance between presentation of institutions and economic analysis helps greatly to the understanding of a complex fast-moving industry --Jean Dermine, Professor of Banking and Finance, INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France<p><br> This is the third and thoroughly revised edition of a path-breaking analysis of the global banking sector. The prior edition of this book was published in 2003 and since then all of the major investment banks have disappeared and 80 percent of the wholesale business has become concentrated among a handful of megabanks. The authors have succeeded not only in making sense of these changes in the structure and regulation of the industry, but also in providing an analytical framework for understanding the forces that are shaping current and future developments. This book is a useful resource for practitioners who want to gain a strategic overview of the industry and also to university students who are contemplating careers with global banks. No other book even attempts such an ambitious agenda. --Richard J. Herring, Jacob Safra Professor of International Banking, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania<p><br>
