The Banking Crisis Handbook

Pulling together different points of view on the current banking and financial industry crisis, the essays in this volume also propose a variety of possible remedies. Written by academics and professionals in the finance industry, and edited by Gregoriou (finance, State U. of New York), it is intended for bank executives and specialists in bank risk management departments. Much of the discussion, however, is non-technical enough to also be understood by the general reader. Its focus is broader than just the situation in the U.S., with chapters also considering the picture in countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
