I have just published a new reference page on FinoLib: Global Economy Sources and Further Reading, Part 1 of 2. It lists the primary sources behind Volume I: Global Economy, grouped by topic, so you can check any figure or rule at its origin. Below is an introduction and a sample of what it holds.
About this page
Every claim in Global Economy traces back to a primary source: regulators, central banks, standard-setters and the statutes themselves. This page collects those references, grouped by topic, so you can check any figure or rule at its origin.
If you are studying, writing or building a model, start here. The links point to government and standard-setter pages that change rarely, so they stay useful for years. Each entry says what the source supports, so you can go straight to the one you need.
