The objective of this present volume is to analyse the response to the developments and the consequences for the conduct of monetary policy in five industrial countries. Also considered is the stability of hitherto established relationships between economic variables on which the reliability of monetary policy measures depends. The volume further covers some of the international aspects involved and the important implications of the emerging dominant and persistent flows of long-term capital across the exchanges.

This volume provides a critical assessment of the wide spectrum of Hayek's celebrated work as economist and social philosopher. Included are papers on Hayek's early writings in the field of monetary economics, on which his later campaign against inflation, his controversial proposal for competing currencies, and his negative view of the impact of trade unions on the economy are based. Hayek's social philosophy, often regarded as the centre piece of his famous work, and the fundamental findings about human thinking, society, the market system and social rules of conduct it is based on, is evaluated by contemporary social philosophers.

The book assesses the most exciting experiment in modern economic history - the German currency union of 1990 - on three levels.

This interdisciplinary collection of essays takes a hard look at the gap between increasingly costs expectations of welfare including other social needs and available revenues. It shows that the issue is not a purely economic and certainly not a party-political one, but that it has significant ethical, some call it spiritual, components. From providing initially a broad account of welfare economics it presents contributions from political philosophers and theologians as well as accounts of successful initiatives to indicate the direction for solutions which will correspond to the complex realities of post-modern society.

In this collection of essays, the historical, legal and institutional basis of German internal and external monetary policy are explained, along with the goals of the German central bank and its role in the economy as a whole. This text also contains: a discussion of the role of the Deutschemark as one of the leading international transaction, reserve and investment currencies; the personal recollections of the chairman of the negotiations on intra-German monetary, economic and social union; and views on German monetary unification.

A collection of papers dicussing unknowledge and choice in economics. The topics focus especially on G.L.S.Shackle's theories and his place in subjectivist thought but also include time, choice and dynamics in economics and interest rates and investment decisions.
