The perspective.
Homer and Sylla place familiar rate discussions within a much wider range of institutional settings. Read the comparisons carefully: a rate observed in one legal, monetary, or credit environment may not mean the same thing in another. The book can broaden the scenarios you consider without providing a simple historical rule for the next rate cycle.
