This comprehensive book explores the currency problems that developing countries face and offers sound, practical advice for policy makers on how to deal with them. Manuel Hinds, who has extensive experience in real-world economic policy making, challenges the myths that surround domestic currencies and shows the clear rationality for dollarization or the use of a standard international currency.The book opens with an entertaining story of the Devil, who, through a series of common macroeconomic maneuvers, coaches the president of a mythical country into financial ruin. This ruler's path is not unlike that taken in several real developing countries, to their detriment. Hinds goes on to introduce new ways of thinking about financial systems and monetary behavior in Third World countries.MoneyDeveloping countriesCurrency questionDeveloping countriesMonetary policyDeveloping countriesElectronic books.MoneyCurrency questionMonetary policy332.4/91724Hinds Manuel1057398MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452196203321Playing monopoly with the devil2492649UNINA01696oam 2200433 450 991013512710332120190911103508.01-4205-1179-3(OCoLC)872656833(MiFhGG)GVRL6NFF(EXLCZ)99378000000005639620131212d2014 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrCar racing /Barbara SheenFarmington Hills, Mich. :Lucent Books, a part of Gale, Cengage Learning,2014.1 online resource (104 pages) illustrations (chiefly color)Science behind sportsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-4205-1152-1 Includes bibliographical references (pages 97-98) and index.chapter 1.
