"This encyclopedia contains about 350 entries on money and finance, organized alphabetically and including topics in the development, functions, and dysfunctions of money, banking, and credit systems. Allen (economics, Lamar U.) includes current terms like adjustable-rate mortgage; general terms like checks, the dollar, and balance of payments; banks and issues in countries around the world; historical terms and acts; and recent developments in the last two decades and the connections between globalization, the stock market, and monetary and fiscal crises. This edition has 85 new entries and addresses new issues associated with shrinking inflation and deflation." - Reference & Research Book News
"...the difference in the coverage between the two editions is enough to recommend keeping both on hand. Both editions will serve as useful complements to any reference collection on finance, banking, or economics. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." - Choice
"Suitable for general readers and researchers." - School Library Journal

Over 85 new entries to this edition accompany dozens of photos of coinage and money and a glossary of world economic terms." - Midwest Book Review
