What do they think they're doing?

The global network of banks, brokers, funds, dealers, servicers, and all the rest is a marvel of the 21st century-for better and frequently worse. In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis in a generation, there has never been a more important time to understand how the system works... and why it doesn't.

Checking the Banks is an easy-to-read primer on how a bank-and the banking system-works. Complex ideas, like bank capital, leverage, risk-weighting, and repo transactions are explained in clear, understandable language.

This is a book for
  • People who want to understand banks,

  • Activists determined to change them,

  • Reformers seeking to build alternatives.
