Recensioner i media

'This is an important, original, and highly topical volume, in which distinguished contributors from Europe, Asia, North America, and Mexico investigate the causes of recent international financial crises, and discuss a wide range of alternative policies to prevent future financial instability. The contributors share a broadly post-Keynesian perspective, and are therefore highly critical both of the Washington Consensus and of the case for unrestrained financial liberalization. While they agree on the need for tighter regulation and for international capital controls, they differ on other important questions, including the respective merits of fixed and floating exchange rate regimes. That gives to this collection of contributions a welcome element of creative tension. No-one with an interest in reforming the international monetary regime can afford to neglect this book.'
