Money Talks The International Monetary Fund, Conditionality And Supplementary Financiers

" Money Talks is an important and rigorous study that leads us to new understandings of influences on IMF activities. The question ' to whom is the IMF beholden?' is an urgent one for both scholars and political analysts. Gould's empirical work is sophisticated and the link between theory and analysis is exemplary. This gracefully-written book is a model of the social-scientific approach, and makes a major contribution to the study of the IMF, of international finance, and of the activities of international organizations more generally." -- Lisa Martin, Harvard University " This book substantially contributes to our understanding of one of the most powerful international institutions today, the IMF. It also illuminates an increasingly important aspect of international monetary relations--the interaction between private and public actors in the world economy." -- -Helen Milner, Princeton UniversityGould, Erica R. is the author of 'Money Talks The International Monetary Fund, Conditionality And Supplementary Financiers', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804752794 and ISBN 0804752796.
