Description
Inside the South African Reserve Bank: Its Origins and Secrets Exposed by Stephen Mitford Goodson provides a unique perspective on the country's central banking institution. As a non-executive director who became disillusioned with the bank's inner workings, Goodson reveals a history of ineptitude, corruption, and scandal. The book places the SA Reserve Bank within its historical context, tracing its establishment to a global agenda orchestrated by Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, to create central banks worldwide. Goodson examines alternative approaches to banking, such as state banking in other countries, and the enduring example of North Dakota. This account offers a fresh insight into the SA Reserve Bank's origins and purposes, shedding light on the forces that have shaped its development.
