In this important policy- and campaign-relevant volume, economists,
intellectuals and NGO leaders from both North and South confront
what has now become the central issue of the new globalized world
economy. Ever since the Asian crisis of 1997 threatened a
chain-reaction of economic destabilisation, governments, the IMF,
even the G7, and even George Soros, have concluded that something
needs to be done. This volume examines the range of different ideas
and approaches they have come up with. Among the issues examined
are: * How do we go about renewing the process of governance of the
global economy? * Can the IMF be reformed? * Do we need a new World
Financial Authority? * Is there a case for capital controls? *
Could an international bankruptcy procedure be set up for
countries, emulating the US's Chapter 11 for companies? * Is the
Tobin Tax on foreign currency transactions part of the solution? *
What effective steps need to be taken in relation to the most
deeply indebted countries? Contributors include Walden Bello, John
Cavanagh, Susan George, Carlos Fortin, Martin Khor, Rodney Schmidt
and others. They set their suggestions in the context of
understanding what has happened during the past two decades of
neo-liberalism's hegemonic position over economic thinking and
policy. And they put up for discussion a fundamental recasting of
economic institutions and strategies on the basis of democratically
controlled, environmentally compatible alternative lines. As the
political momentum for serious institutional reform at the global
level mounts, the ideas in this book will increasingly be on the
international policy agenda.
