DESCRIPTION:Before the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Engl
 and\, the Bank of Amsterdam (the ‘Bank’) was a dom
 inant central bank with a global impact on money a
 nd credit.  'How a Ledger Became a Central Bank' d
 raws on extensive archival data and rich secondary
  literature to offer a new and detailed portrait o
 f this historically significant institution.  It d
 escribes how the Bank struggled to manage its mone
 y before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in 
 combination with a repurchase facility and discret
 ionary open market operations.  It describes techn
 iques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize its m
 oney stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could expl
 oit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance.  
 Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the 
 Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, inclu
 ding the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated
  a great deal of excitement among scholars of cent
 ral banking and the role of money in the macroecon
 omy.
