Central Banks into the Breach provides an overarching analysis of the current and vulnerable state of central banks and offers potential solutions to stabilize the uncertain future of central banking.

Additional text

Central banks are changing. At the peak of their prestige during the Great Moderation, their target was low inflation, with financial stability and full employment expected to follow. Those expectations were disappointed by the Great Financial Crisis and the weak growth that followed. Professor Siklos' insightful analysis is recommended to those who would understand the experiences of central banks during these difficult times and their attempts to adapt to the new intellectual and structural environment.
