Globalization and the International Financial System : What's Wrong and What Can Be Done
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Peter Isard brings deep scholarship and experience to the bewildering array of problems surrounding the brave new world of globalized international finance. No single volume I know does a better job of evaluating the current international financial system and its history, and drawing sensible implications for national and global policy. This book will be required reading for every serious student of the world economy.' Maurice Obstfeld, University of California, Berkeley
'A masterful survey of what ails the international financial system and how to fix it. Peter Isard writes with clarity, objectivity, and good sense. Anyone interested in the ongoing debate on globalization - and in particular, on the changing role of the IMF in the system - will find this book worthwhile reading.' Morris Goldstein, Institute for International Economics, Washington, DC
'Peter Isard provides a thoughtful and thorough review of the accomplishments and challenges of the international financial system and its principal multilateral institution - the International Monetary Fund - in an era of inevitable, rapid globalization. He blends crisp analysis with deep institutional knowledge to produce an insightful and valuable tour de force.' Edwin M. Truman, Institute for International Economics
Book Description
This book provides prespectives on various aspects of the international financial system that contribute to financial crises and growth failures, and discusses the remedies that economists have proposed for addressing the underlying problems. It also sheds light on a central feature of the international financial system that remains mysterious to many economists and most non-economists: The International Monetary Fund and the factors that influence its effectiveness.
