Review

'...an impressive study of how and why the role of the IMF has changed from one of enabling countries to stay in the global financial system to one that is aimed specifically at enhancing market-driven systems both globally and within countries... a highly thoughtful study that draws analysis of the IMF into larger questions of power and change.' - Richard Robison, Political Studies Review
