Contemporary Financial Intermediation, 2nd Edition

Stuart I. Greenbaum and Anjan V. Thakor

In Contemporary Financial Intermediation, Second Edition, Stuart Greenbaum and Anjan Thakor bring a unique analytical approach to the subject of banks and banking in this completely revised and updated second edition. The authors expand the scope of the typical bank management course by addressing all types of deposit-type financial institutions and by explaining the “why” of intermediation rather than simply describing institutions, regulations, and market phenomena. This analytic approach strikes at the heart of financial intermediation by explaining why financial intermediaries exist and what they do. Specific regulations, economies, and policies will change, but the underlying philosophical foundations remain the same. This approach enables students to understand the foundational principles and to apply them to whatever context they encounter as professionals.

Greenbaum and Thakor once again bring their internationally recognized banking expertise to this second edition, making it a must read for finance and banking students in courses such as Financial Markets and Institutions, Banking, and Money and Banking.
