Contemporary Financial Intermediation

Greenbaum, Thakor, and Boot offer a distinctive approach to financial markets and institutions. They present an integrated portrait that puts information at the core. Instead of naming and describing markets, regulations, and institutions as competing texts do, they explore the endless subtlety and plasticity of financial institutions and credit markets. In the fourth edition every chapter will be revised. Pedagogical supplements will be increased and enhanced. For the financial sector, the best pre-professional training is to understand the reasons why markets, institutions, and regulators act as they do. Our volume demands more in terms of quantitative skills and analysis, but its ability to teach people about anticipating the financial world is unmatched.
