The German response was considerably more generous to banks than the American or British bailouts. Drawing on interviews and primary sources in government, private firms, and media, Mitchell explains how the structure of national financial systems and interbank relationships produced extensive private rescues and pressure on different states. Mitchell explores the different responses and results in Germany, the UK and the US using a combination of detailed case study analyses of the three countries' responses to the crisis and a quantitative analysis of patterns of state responses to financial crises. This book will be essential reading for scholars and advanced students of political economy, comparative politics, economic sociology, economics, and public policy. 606 $aFinancial crises$xGovernment policy 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aEconomic policy 615 0$aFinancial crises$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 676 $a339.5 700 $aMitchell$b Christopher$c(Political scientist),$01074765 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154786003321 996 $aSaving the market from itself$92581474 997 $aUNINA
