Eric Helleiner is Professor and University Research Chair at the Department of Political Science and Balsillie School of International Affairs, University of Waterloo. His previous books include The Neomercantilists (2021), Forgotten Foundations of Bretton Woods (2014), The Status Quo Crisis (2014), and States and the Reemergence of Global Finance (1994). He is winner of the 2020 IPE Distinguished Scholar Award (International Studies Association) and the Francesco Guicciardini Prize for Best Book in Historical International Relations (2016).

'Eric Helleiner has done it again – another classic to add to his ample record of outstanding historical scholarship.  His monumental survey of the deep intellectual roots of the field of International Political Economy breaks entirely new ground and will serve as a master study guide for generations to come.  The breadth of coverage is astonishing, introducing us to a huge gallery of long-neglected thinkers and ideas from every corner of the globe.  The book is a must-read for anyone aspiring to literacy in the subject of IPE.' Benjamin Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara
