Governing Global Finance

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, reform of the international financial architecture is a high priority. Anthony Elson provides a detailed evaluation of global financial institutions from both contemporary and historical perspectives and lays out a compelling vision of how these institutions need to be reformed to promote global financial stability.

This remarkably accessible book provides a clear, intellectually vigorous, and multidisciplinary synthesis of global financial history, and identifies the key principles on which to rebuild a sustainable international financial system.
