When Expertise Meets Politics

Financial Regulatory Rulemaking in the European Union

Yale Program on Financial Stability Series

A critical examination of the Federal Reserve-told by the policymakers, economists, and observers who know it bestThe Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world-and one of the least understood. Drawing on twenty-one interviews with former governors, reserve bank presidents, staff economists, lawmakers, journalists, scholars, international central bankers, and investors, Fed Reckoning explores how the institution has navigated the defining upheavals of the modern era: the global financial crisis, the pandemic shock, the post-2021 inflation surge, and the banking turmoil of 2023. It traces the modern Federal Reserve from Volcker to Powell, examining its evolving approach to the dual mandate, financial stability, regulation and supervision, and communication.Just as importantly, these interviews reveal the people behind the institution: their judgments, disagreements, frustrations, and sense of mission. The result is a candid, deeply informed portrait of the Federal Reserve at a moment when its power is immense, its independence is under pressure, and its future path is far from certain-and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it makes and defends its decisions.

Bank Disintermediation: Causes and Consequences

When US authorities closed the gold window and later perfected sanctions that could push entire countries out of core payment networks, they demonstrated that the monetary order is not just about exchange rates or inflation. It is about who owns the pipes, writes the standards, and controls access. De-Dollar Design shows how a world built around the dollar's infrastructures is now being quietly re-engineered through central bank digital currencies, regional platforms, and new forms of clearing and settlement.
Priya Nadkar-Jain guides readers through the plumbing of payment clearinghouses, correspondent banks, messaging systems, and cross-border corridors, explaining how design choices in these systems create political leverage as well as efficiency. She then examines why states experiment with cbdc corridors, alternative networks, and reserve strategies to reduce exposure to sanctions and legal risk, and how these moves interact with entrenched dollar dominance. Drawing on history, institutional analysis, and contemporary experiments, the book distinguishes symbolic gestures from structural change, and shows where genuine shifts in the international monetary system are taking place.
Written for students of international political economy, policy analysts, central bank and finance professionals, and globally engaged readers, De-Dollar Design offers a method rather than a forecast. Readers come away able to map any payment proposal, identify who controls settlement and data, and judge whether new architectures will reduce vulnerability or merely rearrange dependencies. In an era when financial infrastructures are becoming sites of contestation and experimentation, this book provides a clear, durable lens for understanding how monetary design functions as a form of geopolitical strategy.

CBDCs, Clearinghouses, and the Split Money System

De-Dollar Design

Equips legal professionals and stakeholders with a clear, authoritative, and practical guide to the UK legal treatment of digital payments and tokenised assets.The Law of Digital Payments is a guide to UK payments law, examining how English law and financial regulation are adapting to new forms of money and new ways of moving it. Value now passes between banks, payment service providers and distributed ledgers, and AI agents are beginning to initiate payments. For lawyers and compliance professionals, this raises fundamental questions about when a debt is discharged, who bears the loss when a payment goes wrong, and which activities fall within the regulatory perimeter.This title sets out the legal concepts of payment and money before mapping the regulatory perimeter under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Regulated Activities Order 2001, the Payment Services Regulations 2017 and the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. Later chapters provide clarity on funds transfers and settlement, card payments, open banking and payment initiation, digital wallets, strong customer authentication, unauthorised transactions and the recovery of misdirected payments, including authorised push payment (APP) fraud. Coverage of tokenised payment includes the classification of cryptoassets and their status as property. The new UK regimes for stablecoins and tokenised deposits are considered alongside the proposed digital pound. The final chapters address the protection of customer funds when a payment or e-money institution becomes insolvent. They also examine the legal questions raised by agentic payments, in which an AI agent makes payments on a user's behalf.Drawing upon legislation, FCA rules and guidance, case law and current reform proposals, the book is designed to help practitioners, in-house counsel, regulators, payment firms and academics understand and apply the law of digital payments.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.

The Law of Digital Payments

Rural development is one of the most complex and topical research areas, requiring interdisciplinary approaches and the proposal of multifunctional, sustainable economic development models grounded in both theoretical and empirical studies. Such studies emphasize socio-economic indicators that can improve policy approaches to analysis, evaluation, and decision-making. Shifts in rural development policies-from a sectoral to a multisectoral perspective and, more recently, to a territorial approach that embraces local community development-highlight the need for socio-economic indicators related to rural development opportunities generated by various domains (e.g., agriculture, tourism). Rural areas are among those experiencing the most profound transformations in recent years, driven by demographic challenges, economic fluctuations and uncertainties, environmental risks, and the impacts of climate change. These factors significantly increase population vulnerability worldwide in rural regions. Population growth and resource scarcity or depletion become even more acute when access to education, financial resources, or transportation infrastructure is limited by unbalanced investments and inadequate planning resulting from deficient administrative systems. Conversely, the rapid development of digital technologies-including smart agriculture, smart household technologies, and digital systems of education and administration-demonstrates clear opportunities for growth and development while improving resource accessibility for rural regions and among more vulnerable demographic groups.

Document from the year 2026 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, Tribhuvan University (Prithvi Narayan Campus), course: economics, language: English, abstract: The rapid growth of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the global financial system, leading many countries toward cashless economies where electronic payment methods increasingly replace physical cash. This article examines the evolution of cashless economies, the technological and economic factors driving their expansion, and the opportunities and challenges associated with this transition. It discusses how innovations such as mobile banking, digital wallets, contactless payments, blockchain, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and financial technology (FinTech) have improved payment efficiency, convenience, and accessibility. 

The article further explores the role of governments and central banks in promoting digital payment systems through supportive policies, digital infrastructure, financial inclusion initiatives, and regulatory frameworks. Particular attention is given to the contribution of cashless economies to financial inclusion, business development, economic transparency, and sustainable economic growth. At the same time, the article critically examines important challenges, including cybersecurity threats, privacy concerns, financial exclusion, technological dependence, and regulatory complexities. International case studies from Sweden, China, India, Kenya, and Brazil demonstrate how different countries have successfully adopted digital payment systems while highlighting the importance of public trust, digital literacy, and effective governance. The article concludes that although cashless economies offer significant economic and social benefits, their long-term success depends on balancing technological innovation with strong cybersecurity, consumer protection, inclusive public policies, and equal access to digital financial services. A secure, resilient, and inclusive digital financial ecosystem will be essential for ensuring that the benefits of cashless economies are shared by all members of society.

The Everyday Guides

Crypto has stopped being exotic.
A quarter of Americans, and one in twelve British adults, now hold some, and most of them bought it on their phone without ever being told how to keep it, who really holds it, or what happens to it when they are gone.

In Everyday Crypto, technologist Wasim Ahmad explains, in plain English, what cryptocurrency is and what it isn't, how to buy a sensible amount and keep it safe, where the yield on your coins really comes from, what the tax authority needs from you, and how to spot the scams that now run as an industry. Through true stories and real-world cases, the exchange that failed with the customers' money inside, the hardware wallet whose faulty dice cost its owners their coins five years later, the text message that opens a months-long con, he shows what goes wrong, why, and the calm habits that stop it.

Then it changes register. For the holder of real wealth, and for the wealth managers who have spent years forbidden from touching this asset, it sets out custody that survives an audit, the concentrated position, crypto philanthropy, and the question the whole book walks towards: what happens to it when you are no longer there to hold it.
Five questions run through every chapter: how much, who holds it, in what form, what the tax authority needs, and who inherits it. They are the same questions at fifty dollars a month and at fifty million. Only the zeros change.

You don't need to become a security expert. But by the time you finish this book, you will know how to protect yourself and your family.
QUESTIONS IT ANSWERS
Is it too late to buy, and how much is a sensible amount?
The app says my crypto could be earning. Where does the yield come from?
My coins are on an exchange. Do I own them, or does it?
I bought a hardware wallet. Am I safe now?
A text from my bank, a call from my son: how do I know it's real?
What happens to my crypto when I die, and who can my family call?



Every chapter opens with where you are, and closes with what you can do now, the same afternoon.
