Economics of money

MR. DAY'S concise introduction to the theory and practice of the financial system has none of the dreariness of elementary summaries of established. doctrine, part of its freshness coming from originalities in presentation. The information it contains is fully up-to date-notably so in the treatment of English banking institutions, where the author has been able to take advantage of recent developments in our under standing of the banking system-and this information is presented with great lucidity and even elegance. The book is intended both for the intelligent general reader, who wishes to under stand something of economic and financial matters, and for the student, and can be regarded as an introduction to Mr. Day's longer work An Outline of Monetary Economics (Clarendon Press, 1957). Mr. Day is Reader in Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
