Juliet Johnson conducted more than 160 interviews in seventeen countries with central bankers, international assistance providers, policymakers, and private-sector finance professionals over the course of fifteen years. She argues that a powerful transnational central banking community concentrated in Western Europe and North America integrated post communist central bankers into its network, shaped their ideas about the role of central banks, and helped them develop modern tools of central banking. Johnson's detailed comparative studies of central bank development in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan take readers from the birth of the campaign in the late 1980's to the challenges faced by central bankers after the global financial crisis. As the comfortable certainties of the past collapse around them, today's central bankers in the post communist world and beyond find themselves torn between allegiance to their transnational community and its principles on the one hand and their increasingly complex and politicized national roles on the other. Priests of Prosperity will appeal to a diverse audience of scholars in political science, finance, economics, geography, and sociology as well as to central bankers and other policymakers interested in the future of international finance, global governance, and economic development. 410 0$aCornell studies in money. 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$zFormer communist countries 606 $aPost-communism$xEconomic aspects 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xEconomic policy 607 $aFormer communist countries$xEconomic policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central 615 0$aPost-communism$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a332.1/1 700 $aJohnson$b Juliet$f1968-$0145209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465281203321 996 $aPriests of prosperity$92447007 997 $aUNINA
