Laid Low: Inside the Crisis That Overwhelmed Europe and the IMF

Bok av Paul Blustein
Award-winning journalist and author Paul Blustein has received wide acclaim for his books about the inner workings of international economic institutions, notably the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization. Based on interviews with policy makers and on thousands of pages of confidential documents to which Blustein obtained exclusive access, this book focuses on the IMF and the run-up to and early months of the crisis. Blustein exposes serious weaknesses in these and other institutions, which lead to sobering conclusions about the governability of the global economy.
