<i>'The general topic is important and highly policy relevant; the authors are well-known, outstanding specialists; and the contents are very good, and very readable. I am impressed by the substance evidently embodied in each chapter. The discussion and analysis is sensible and appropriately careful, nuanced, and cautious. The text is well written, logical and clear and I am confident this book will have great appeal among scholars and market practitioners. The topics are important, even hot, and will continue to be.'</i>
