Reviews

'The IMF and the Future will interest anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of the IMF role in the world economy and is prepared to live with the dismalness of economic science ... it is an excellent survey of the policy choices and problems that pushed the IMF in the direction it is moving today.'- James M. Boughton, Times Higher Education Supplement


Fourteen Papers... provide an empirically informed analysis of the IMF at the beginning of the twenty-first century and asses options for reform.. <br>- Journal of Economic Literature, September 2003 <br>
