‘Overall, this book provides a useful overview of the thinking around monetary policy implementation in the post-GFC period from the perspective of economists from the Asian region. In this, it has significant value, as the experiences of 1997–98 in East Asia directly coloured the response and preparedness of policy makers in the region to the 2008–09 crisis. The most useful chapters are the country-specific papers, which provide a coherent overview of the evolution of policy making in the area. […] There is no doubt the book provides a useful stimulate for future research and an excellent background resource that can be recommended to graduate students and researchers wishing to begin to understand the views on policy development during this period in Asia.’ —Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, Volume 30 Issue 2
