S. Frowen - Böcker

These conference proceedings bring together 12 new essays on a variety of key issues in the field of domestic and international monetary economics. They cover aspects of monetary theory as well as monetary policy, the prime objective being the development of intellectual tools in order to find new ways of thinking to existing and new monetary problems in an increasingly unstable world economy marked by rapid and often unexpected changes, partly caused by the disappearance of boundaries for financial transactions.;The papers cover a wide range of topics aimed at meeting some of the challenges likely to arise during the late-20th century and beyond. By challenging the orthodox paradigms in monetary economics and generating controversy, the volume should be a reference point for economists, central and commercial bankers, businessmen and politicians. Other titles by Stephen F. Frowen include "Controlling Industrial Economies", "Monetary Policy and Financial Innovations in Five Industrial Countries" and "Unknowledge and Choice in Economics".

Recent decades have seen a sharp increase in financial competition, intensified by globalisation. This volume attempts to analyse and explain financial market developments at the turn of the millennium with the emphasis on the need for greater responsibility and a more ethical approach to financial decision-making.

This volume contains the correspondence between G.L.S. Shackle and S.F. Frowen from the time Shackle took up his first post war academic appointment until his death in 1992. The correspondence, partly personal and partly professional, reveals a vital insight into Shackle both as a man and as an outstanding economist. His letters illuminate his thoughts on issues occupying his mind but also show the warmth and tremendous generosity he felt towards his friends. The centenary of Shackle's birth in 2003 seems an appropriate time for the publication of his letters.

This volume unites scholars from all over the world, and with very different theoretical perspectives. Their chapters probe into typical Shacklean themes of time and money, uncertainty and expectation, and into the roots of G.L.S. Shackle's philosophical and methodological stance.
