Banking in Transition

the long version

"Using Germany as a focal point, this book asks whether foreign banks can solve the problems involved in creating a well-functioning market economy. Drawing on extensive interviews, as well as a range of English and German sources, it argues that there are no quickfix solutions to transition to a market economy. The German case is also accompanied by a broader review of the situation in Central and Eastern Europe. The findings contain lessons for academics, policy-makers and bankers in all countries undergoing financial development and deepening."--BOOK JACKET.
