The author offers detailed commentary on: the role of multilateral development banks, the IMF, and the WTO in crisis response; measures stemming from the Basel Accords, the Brady Plan, and other response initiatives; and proposals by the European Commission, the G20, and other groups, including financial transaction tax schemes and a global sovereign bankruptcy regime. Apart from its great usefulness as a detailed introduction to the international financial system and its regulation, the book is enormously valuable for its clear identification of the specific ‘danger zones’ in economic policy that prevent regulators from intercepting the vicious cycle of financial crisis. Banking and investment policymakers at every level (not to mention bankers and investors themselves) cannot afford to neglect this book.
