Throughout, the United States is used as a case study to see how banking and central bank monetary policies affect international trade and investment.The study examines the banking history of the United States and how the corporate consolidation process was institutionalized with the creation of the U.S. Federal Reserve System. Ashdown concludes that current policies fail to support the national interest by creating policy that allows or ignores sustained trade deficits over consecutive years. He demonstrates how institutions can affect, or even constrain, the policies of nation-states, which is then theoretically generalized in demonstrating how other global actors are shaping the post-bipolar international power structure. Of particular interest to scholars, students, and policy makers involved with economic policy, finance, and international business. 606 $aBalance of payments$zUnited States 606 $aMonetary policy$zUnited States 606 $aBanks and banking$zUnited States 606 $aInternational finance 607 $aUnited States$xCommerce 615 0$aBalance of payments 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 0$aInternational finance. 676 $a337 700 $aAshdown$b Neil H.$f1970-$01795556 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964967603321 996 $aThe impact of banking policy on trade and global stability$94336928 997 $aUNINA
