With European economic and monetary union approaching, the lessons to be learnt from the German experience are now more important than ever.
The Deutsche Mark has been one of the most stable currencies in the world for decades. The combination of a sound monetary structure and an anti-inflationary monetary policy have been the bedrock for unprecedented German economic success. This success, however, has not been unlimited or without risk. Fifty Years of the Deutsche Mark will give future European montary policy-makers the invaluable benefit of the German experience.
The book combines chronological articles with others which follow the developments of a specific issue over the entire 50-year period. Issues covered include the central bank constitution, the central bank's relationship with fiscal policy-makers and with other banks, the role of the Bundesbank in European monetary integration, and the international significance of the Deutsche Mark. Individual accounts of the key monetary policy events in 1948 and 1990 as well as general articles on the `message' of German monetary policy and on academic deabte over German monetary policy round the book off.
Sixteen eminent independent scholars were asked by the Bundesbank to contribute to this volume, and given full access to the Bank's records. The resulting articles provide comprehensive analysis of the successes and limitations of Europe's most powerful central bank. On June 20th, 1998, the Deutsche Mark will be 50 years old: this book will ensure that its legacy lives on.

Review: `An eminently readable and scholarly collection which uses the archives of the Bundesbank ... the very considerable contribution that this book will make to the monetary history of both Germany and Europe' Economic History Society
It contains an excellent collection of representative papers covering a wide spectrum of real options from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about a relatively new and very exciting branch of financial engineering. - Alexander Lipton, Vice President, Deutsche Bank, Professor, University of Illinois
This publication well serves its purpose as the compendium of Bundesbank monetary policy and will doubtless become the standard reference book. (Financial History Review)
An impressive and encompassing work, and there is no question that this book will be essential reading in the study of German policy-making. (International Finance)
For those interested in policy-making [in West Germany] - The Bundesbank's Fifty Years of the Deutsche Mark will make fascinating reading. (International Finance)
