‘When Diderot and d’Alembert published their encyclopedia three centuries ago, they aimed to bring together the best knowledge on the most critical topics of their society, and to promote the dissemination of knowledge to as many people as possible. Without a doubt, this Encyclopedia is part of this tradition. The best central banking specialists address the various concepts, notions, theories, facts, and institutions associated with central banking in a clear, relevant, and rigorous manner. A must read, definitely.’
