In "Monetary Theory: National and International," Alvaro Cencini argues that a new approach to the analysis of bank money is needed which is capable of providing modern analytical instruments based on the intrinsic nature of bank money. Conventionally, monetary problems are examined with reference to a monetary framework which has little to do with the real world of banking. The purpose of this book is to provide an alternative analysis to monetary economics based on the very distinctive properties of bank money. Monetary problems are investigated from a structural point of view. Of special interest is the distinction made between money and income which is rooted in the everyday practices of central and secondary banks. The book also examines exchange rate instability and financial crisis and finally, sets forward an alternative proposal for European Monetary Union.
