 |  Money and Capital Markets: Financial Institutions and Instruments in a Global Marketplace, 8/e Peter Rose,
Texas A & M University
What's New- Internet activities that integrate the subject matter with web applications and interface have been added. URL’s are placed in chapter boxes and in the margins and Internet problems have been added to the end-of-chapter problems. These practical, real-time examples will give the material a greater relevancy.
- Includes a more robust global integration of materials reflecting the dynamic nature of global financial markets and currency. This will impact virtually every chapter.
- New discussion added about the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. This important act is responsible for changing the U.S. and the global financial structure, and for making consumer privacy a key issue in the financial world.
- The Future of the Financial System and the Money and Capital Markets has been moved up to Chapter 4, as a result of strong reviewer feedback.
- New shorter length, now with 26 chapters. The overall length of the book has been reduced by 4 chapters and approximately 75 pages. Material on interest-rate hedging tools now consolidated into one chapter; information on central banking and the Federal Reserve now consolidated into two chapters instead of three; and money market instruments’ section consolidated into two main chapters.
- Central banking material integrated throughout the text due to marketplace feedback.
- A new rich design added to create a more user-friendly text. Part Openers have been added with brief explanations of the material to better serve the reader. Chapter Summaries will be bulleted and Key Terms for each chapter will now be listed at the end of the chapter and defined in the glossary.
