As a result, not only have the academics' perceptions of the underlying economic theory improved, but also the economic policy makers and central bankers in LDCs have been able to gain insights and understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of monetary policies. This volume of reading is designed to attenuate such difficulties by bringing together in one place selections of work in money, monetary policy, and the financial intermediation process of LDC's, that it is hoped will help, apart from becoming a useful teaching aid to universities, both students and policymakers alike.
