E-Book Overview
This book examines the changing nature of the policies adopted to promote international financial stability. Specifically, it investigates the policies that the IMF followed in response to the Mexican, Asian, and subprime crisis. The book argues that these policies can be explained by the interaction of economic ideas and historical contexts.
