ABSTRACT
Max Fry was born on 12 February 1944 and died on 22 February 2000. In 1989 he joined the Business School at the University of Birmingham, from which time I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him. From 1997 he was Director of the Centre for Central Banking Studies (CCBS) at the Bank of England. It was in discussions with Bill Allen at the CCBS (and latterly Peter Sinclair who took over from Max as director) that it was decided to organize this volume in his honour.
