""The world is going to hell. We've got to co-operate."" "This was the message sent from the US Treasury to Japan's vice finance minister for international affairs on the eve of the September 1998 G7 summit. The global financial system was on the brink of disaster. Economies were crashing from Thailand to Russia, fortunes were lost in the world's financial centres and millions of jobs were axed." "Disaster was eventually averted, but the shaky foundations of the world's financial architecture had been exposed. Rollercoaster tells the gripping story of the rise and fall of the emerging markets."--Jacket.
Roy E. Allen

Ilene Grabel
An account of the significant though gradual, uneven, disconnected, ad hoc, and pragmatic innovations in global financial governance and developmental finance induced by the global financial crisis.--
Larry Allen
"From Greece scrambling to meet Eurozone austerity measures to America's sluggish job growth, there is every indication that the world has not recovered from the economic implosion of 2008. And for many of us, the details of what led to the recession -- and why it has continued -- remain murky. Economic historian Larry Allen clears up the subject in The Global Economic Crisis, offering an insightful and nonpartisan chronology of events and their consequences."--Publisher's description.
Susan Strange
"The world's financial system is crazier and even more out of control than it was ten years ago. Mad Money analyzes the erratic nature of change and innovation in financial business in recent years and discusses the weak points--political as well as economic and technical--of a system driven more by volatile markets than by governments. The central issue is global finance "mad money" is how Susan Strange characterizes the alternately rampant and depressed financial markets of recent years. She sets out here to diagnose the sources and nature of the problem of markets having outgrown governments and to examine its social and political ramifications. Opinionated and brilliantly argued, Mad Money will surely provoke controversy and generate many conversations. Susan Strange's previous book, Casino Capitalism, established her as an authority on international finance and the basic structures of the international political economy. This sequel will reach not only scholars and students but a wider readership, including everyone worried by the yo-yoing of stock markets, the currency turmoil in Asia, and the general mismanagement of money by governments and international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank"--Publisher description.
