Book excerpt: What is money, where does it come from, and who controls it? In this accessible, brilliantly argued book, leading political economist Ann Pettifor explains in straightforward terms history’s most misunderstood invention: the money system. Pettifor argues that democracies can, and indeed must, reclaim control over money production and restrain the out-of-control finance sector so that it serves the interests of society, as well as the needs of the ecosystem. The Production of Money examines and assesses popular alternative debates on, and innovations in, money, such as “green QE” and “helicopter money.” She sets out the possibility of linking the money in our pockets (or on our smartphones) to the improvements we want to see in the world around us.

Book excerpt: In spite of its key role in creating the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, the American banking industry has grown bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks whose assets amount to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, this oligarchy proved it could first hold the global economy hostage and then use its political muscle to fight off meaningful reform. 13 Bankers brilliantly charts the rise to power of the financial sector and forcefully argues that we must break up the big banks if we want to avoid future financial catastrophes. Updated, with additional analysis of the government’s recent attempt to reform the banking industry, this is a timely and expert account of our troubled political economy.

Book excerpt: We live in an age of disruption. Well known industries have changed beyond recognition as they were first digitised, then disrupted, and finally dematerialised. Banks no longer meet the needs of their customers, we are told. They are too slow, unresponsive, and ripe for disruption. And yet, even with support from politicians and regulators in many markets, most would be disruptors have struggled to achieve profitability, despite having built large customer bases in short spans of time, and despite being often seen as more innovative, more relevant, and more customer-oriented than the incumbent banks. Banks that should be uncompetitive continue to dominate finance. Why then do societies not take stronger action? Why not tilt the playing field much further against incumbents? Why not break up, or even abolish, the banks? Because banking matters. Too few people understand the critical role that banks and banking play in our economies. Too few people understand the risks that banks' activities create, or why we should accept these risks. Too few people understand how banks help guard society against financial criminals. Anyone working in a bank, seeking to disrupt banking, or undertaking banking activities, needs to understand the role they play and the potential impact of their actions.Because banking matters. Duncan Knowles built his extensive knowledge of banking through over 20 years delivering creative and practical solutions to complex issues in banking-related businesses across the world. He has worked closely with both retail and corporate banks in over 30 countries.In this book, Duncan shares his expertise and his unique perspective, providing an essential guide for anyone wanting to understand commercial banking in our current age of disruption.www.becausebankingmatters.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive advantage in banking comes from effective use of technology The Handbook of Banking Technology provides a blueprint for the future of banking, with deep insight into the technologies at the heart of the industry. The rapid evolution of IT brings continual change and demand for investment — yet keeping pace with these changes has become an essential part of doing business. This book describes how banks can harness the power of current and upcoming technology to add business value and gain a competitive advantage; you'll learn how banks are using technology to drive business today, and which emerging trends are likely to drive the evolution of banking over the next decade. Regulation is playing an ever increasing role in banking and the impact of regulatory change on technology and the management of it are discussed — while mandatory changes put pressure on many of our high street banking brands, their ability to adapt and utilise technology will have a fundamental impact on their success in the rapidly changing marketplace. Technology costs can amount to 15 per cent or more of operational costs and bank leaders need to be able to make informed decisions about technology investments in light of the potential benefits. This book explores the depth and breadth of banking technology to help decision makers stay up to date and drive better business. Assess your current technology against the new banking paradigms Procure the systems needed to protect the bottom line Implement newer technology more efficiently and effectively Ensure compliance and drive value with appropriate technology management Technological change is driven by mass adoption of new channels, innovation from new entrants, and by banks themselves as a means of increasing revenue and reducing costs. The Handbook of Banking Technology offers a comprehensive look at the role of technology in banking, and the impact it will have in the coming years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revision of the business of global banking. With the increased globalization of the world economy few sectors are the equal of banking and financial services in dynamism or structural change. Roy C. Smith and Ingo Walter assess this transformation-its causes, its course and its consequences. They begon by examining international commercial banking, including the issue of cross-border risk evaluation and exposure management, and the creation of a viable regulatory framework in a global competitive context. hey then undertake a parallel assessment of international investment banking, linking the two by means of a bridge chapter. Finally, they focus on the factors that determine winners and losers in these markets and explore the problems of strategic position and execution.
