The German Financial System and the Financial and Economic Crisis

by Daniel Detzer, Nina Dodig, Trevor Evans, Eckhard Hein, Hansjoerg Herr, and Franz Josef Prante

Published 7 June 2017

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the development of the German financial system, with a particular focus on financialization and the financial crisis, topics that have increasingly gained attention since the crisis and the discussion on the secular stagnation started. The authors of the book—economists who have conducted extensive research in this area—offer a perspective on the financial system in the context of its importance for the overall economic system. The book not only provides detailed insights into Germany’s financial system; it also takes a broader perspective on finance and connects it with current macroeconomic developments in Germany.
