The Bundesbank

The might of the D-Mark gives the Bundesbank greater influence over monetary policies across Europe - including in Britain - than most elected governments. In bringing to life the central bank and the people who run it, Marsh reveals its history, and present-day, behind-the-scenes arguments over European monetary union. David Marsh is the award-winning European Editor of "The Financial Times" and he is the author of "The New At the Crossroads".
