'The thoroughgoing disaster inflicted on the global economy in 2008
by the gambling of the financial system should have resulted
serious sanctions for financial actors and the jettisoning of any
belief in the efficacy and fairness of the neoliberal regime. But
the tepid action of policy makers has allowed the system to muddle
through and undermined any remaining trust and faith among the
polity. It is not hard to see the breakdown of political stability
across the world in the last two to three years as resulting direct
from the justified belief that the rules of the global economy
favor the very few. In this book, a group of critical scholars
painstakingly identify and illuminate key aspects of the global
financial system that continue to reinforce global inequalities of
power and that contribute to dangerous political and economic
instability. Through a series of thorough case studies ranging from
the macroeconomic instability engendered by untrammeled capital
flows, to the way sovereign debt restructuring favors northern
creditors, to the hierarchy of the monetary system that
concentrates enormous power in the hands of a few central banks,
these studies throw light on the ways global financial
neoliberalism and political and social power work to undermine
macroeconomic stability and social justice. It will be read by
serious scholars of the political economy of finance with great
interest.' - Arjun Jayadev, Azim Premji University, India and
Institute for New Economic Thinking The essays in this book
describe and analyze the current contours of the international
financial system, covering both developed and developing countries,
and focusing on the ways in which the current international
financial system structures and is affected by profound
inequalities in the international system. This keen analysis of key
topics in international finance takes a heterodox perspective, with
focus on the role of inequalities in power in shaping the structure
and outcomes in the international sphere. The Political Economy of
International Finance in an Age of Inequality begins with a
discussion of capital flows and financial crisis, moves into an
up-to-date discussion of the political economy of currency unions,
and then focuses on analysis of capital flows and economic crises.
New and established academics present a broad variety of special
case studies within that general framework focusing on understudied
yet important up to date cases from understudied regions and
countries for a unique and important exploration of the field. This
book will be of interest to students and specialists in
international finance, who will benefit from the combination of the
strong general framework and illustrative case studies. Its
approach will appeal both to generalists and specialists.
