Summary:

These two volumes were written on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Bank of Israel.

This first volume retells Israel's monetary history, analyzes the background of the developments mentioned above, and describes the difficulties in regaining monetary control in recent years. This volume also provides an analytical framework to help understand the monetary developments in the inflationary era and in the disinflation process.
