Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The financial system is a densely interconnected network of financial intermediaries, facilitators, and markets that serves three major purposes: allocating capital, sharing risks, and facilitating intertemporal trade. Asset prices are an important mechanism in each of these phenomena. Capital allocation, whether through loans or other forms of investment, can vary both across sectors-at the broadest, manufactures, agriculture, and services-and within sectors, for example different firms. The risk that various investors are willing to take reflects their financial position and alternative opportunities. Risk and asset allocation are also influenced by whether money, and especially its expenditure, is more important now or in the future. These decisions are all influenced by governmental policies. When there are mismatches, the results include financial meltdowns, fiscal deficits, sovereign debt, default and debt crises.
Harold L. Cole provides a broad overview of the financial system and assets pricing, covering history, institutional detail, and theory. The book begins with an overview of financial markets and their operation and then covers asset pricing for standard assets and derivatives, and analyzes what modern finance says about firm behavior and capital structure. It then examines theories of money, exchange rates, electronic payments methods, and cryptocurrencies. After exploring banks and other forms of financial intermediation, the book examines the role they played in the Great Recession. Having provided an overview of the provate sector, Cole switches to public finance and government borrowing as well as the incentives to monetize the public debt and its consequences. The book closes with an examination of sovereign debt crises and an analysis of their various forms.
Finance and financial intermediation are central to modern economies. This book covers all of the material a sophisticated economist needs to know about this area.
Cole's new book on money, credit, and banking represents an enchanting break from the typical undergraduate text on money and banking. Standard texts spend large amount of time on simplistic models of the money multiplier, mechanics of open market operations, and in institutional details of the U.S. financial system. Cole's book instead integrates the analysis of money and banking with a modern treatment of finance, boiled down to its essence. Cole then applies the simple apparatus he develops to topical issues in macroeconomics. The resulting product is one that will be a delight to teach to undergraduates. Overall, it represents a breakthrough turning what was often a dreary subject to both study and teach into an exciting one for both professors and students. I recommend it highly.
