"A clear, accessible, practical, grounded, and authoritative intro- duction to how banks account for their use of your money."
-- David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth
What do they think they're doing? The global network of banks, brokers, funds, dealers, servicers, and all the rest is a marvel of the 21st century--for better and frequently worse. In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis in a generation, there has never been a more important time to understand how the system works... and why it doesn't.
Checking the Banks is an easy-to-read primer on how a bank--and the banking system--works. Complex ideas, like bank capital, leverage, risk-weighting, and repo transactions are explained in clear, understandable language.
This is a book for
People who want to understand banks,
Activists determined to change them,
Reformers seeking to build alternatives.
