Regime Changes: Macroeconomic Policy and Financial Regulation in Europe from the 1930s to the 1990s

Six contributions explore two "periods of movement," from approximately 1931 to 1948, and from 1973 to 1990, during which most European nations undertook major changes in economic policy. The focus of the text centers on monetary policy and the regulation of financial markets. The contributions address topics such as the international monetary system and domestic economic policy, economic policy strategy and financial regulation in France and Spain, and financial systems and industrial policy in Germany and Great Britain.
