INDEX

"This book draws upon the authors' broad experience to paint a portrait of an institution under challenge and highlights changes that could strengthen the IMF. It should be read by students, policy analysts and officials alike for its timely insights."
Thomas A. Bernes, Distinguished Fellow and former President, Centre for International Governance Innovation

"There are some problems no government can fix without cooperation. That's why the IMF is needed. This useful book sets out some of the critiques of the IMF along with ideas about reforms which could help the institution do better."
Ngaire Woods, University of Oxford
