Banking supervision and regulation
2007 and 2008 saw the biggest financial crisis since the 1930s. Banks looking for better yields from plentiful, cheap money made much more use of complex financial instruments, without fully understanding the risks to which they were exposing themselves and the financial system. Defaults on subprime mortgages underlying some of the instruments shattered confidence and financial markets seized up. The framework of regulation and supervision in Britain failed to avoid or mitigate the crisis. The tripartite authorities in the United Kingdom - Bank of England, Financial Services Authority (FSA) and HM Treasury - failed to maintain financial stability and were found wanting, in part because the roles of the three parties were not well enough defined and it was not clear who was in charge. Too little attention was paid to macro-prudential supervision (oversight of the aggregate impact on financial stability of individual banks' actions). Only the Bank of England and the

James wakes up one morning suddenly able to leap through time and space. Why was he given this extraordinary ability? What earthly---or heavenly---good is it? Part "Heroes" and part "Superman," Wood's witty, unconventional novel explores reality, relationships, redemption, and faith.
Policy Makers on Policy
Monetary policy is still one of the most contested areas of modern economics, and since the original publication of Policy Makers on Policy much has changed. This new edition collects contributions from leading policy makers and practitioners to reflect on the aims and objectives of monetary policy and on what it can achieve, combining the old chapters from Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Kenneth Clarke, Geoffrey Howe, Nigel Lawson, and others, with new perspectives from Mervyn King, Jean-Claude Trichet, Ernst Welteke, Otmar Issing, and Alastair Darling. A new far-reaching introduction from the editors Forrest Capie and Geoffrey Wood puts these important contributions to the discussion of economic...
Fifty Economic Fallacies Exposed
Aimed at exposing popular economic fallacies, this revised edition clarifies basic concepts while demonstrating the practical uses of economic theory. Topics touched upon include the supposed dangers of free trade, the abilities of governments to control the economy, the effects of government regulation, and whether millions of jobs depend on our continued membership of the European Union. These lucid and stimulating articles are invaluable to anyone struggling to master some of the complexities of economic theory and its applications.
Demand for Money
The income velocity of money-an inverse measure of the demand for money balances-is the ratio of the money value of income to the average money stock that the public (excluding banks) holds in a given period. Why the magnitude of that ratio has changed over time is the subject of Michael D. Bordo and Lars Jonung's classic study, originally published as "The Long-Run Behavior of the Velocity of Circulation." Supported by statistical data, econometric estimation techniques, and meticulous historical analysis, this work describes, in an international setting, how slow-moving economic, social, and political forces interact with the decisions households and firms make about how much money to hold...

the god cookie
Would you know if he did, if God really spoke to you– would it be booming from the heavens or just in your head? If it was in your head, how would you know if it was God or wasn’t? Is God speaking right now but we’re just not listening? And if God does tell you something…what would you do about it? Meet Parrish. He’s a regular guy, owns a coffee shop. He happens to be shooting the breeze with his buddies at the neighborhood Chinese buffet, talking about the dents in golf balls and such, when the discussion develops into a debate on whether or not God still speaks to people. When his friends skip out and he is left alone, Parrish tells God he's “all in.” Ready to listen, do what...
