Summary:

Central banks can shape economic growth, affect income distribution, influence a country's foreign relations, and determine the extent of its democracy. By surveying the dramatic worldwide trend toward increased central bank independence in the 1990s, Yale's Sylvia Maxfield analyzes the impact of international capital flow on ecoomic policymaking in developing countries.
