This book provides detailed independent analyses of the successes and limitations of one of the most successful economic relationships in recent history: the Deutsche Mark and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Issues covered include the central bank constitution, the central bank's relationship with fiscal policy-makers and with other banks, and the international significance of the Deutsche Mark. With European economic and monetary union approaching, the lessons to be learnt from the German experience are now more important than ever.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`An eminently readable and scholarly collection which uses the archives of the Bundesbank ... the very considerable contribution that this book will make to the monetary history of both Germany and Europe' Economic History Society

It contains an excellent collection of representative papers covering a wide spectrum of real options from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about a relatively new and very exciting branch of financial engineering. - Alexander Lipton, Vice President, Deutsche Bank, Professor, University of Illinois
