Books by Benjamin J. Cohen

Grouped around the central theme of global monetary governance, this book explores the geopolitical implications of the competition between the two most widely used currencies, the US dollar and the Euro.

Is globalization leading us toward a world of fewer and fewer currencies and, consequently, simplified monetary management? This book argues that this view is wrong. It demonstrates that the global population of currencies is set to expand greatly, not contract, making monetary governance more difficult, not less.
