This European adaptation takes Mishkin's market leading The Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets a step further placing the central themes in context for European students. It provides an in-depth overview and comparison of the structures, goals, tools and strategies of the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve.

Mishkin's application of a unified analytical framework to the models makes theory intuitive for students whilst the rich array of current, real-world events keeps students motivated. Authoritative, comprehensive, and flexible, the text is easy to integrate into a wide variety of syllabi, and its ancillaries provide complete support when teaching the course.
