Book Summary
Priests of Prosperity explores the unsung revolutionary campaign to transform
postcommunist central banks from command-economy cash cows into Western-style
monetary guardians. Juliet Johnson conducted more than 160 interviews in
seventeen countries with central bankers, international assistance providers,
policymakers, and private-sector finance professionals over the course of
fifteen years. She argues that a powerful transnational central banking

postcommunist central bankers into its network, shaped their ideas about the
role of central banks, and helped them develop modern tools of central banking.
Johnson's detailed comparative studies of central bank development in Hungary,
the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan take readers from
