Money Doctors The Experience of International Financial Advising 1850-2000 [Paperback]

The book brings together internationally respected specialists from economics, history and political science such as Harold James, Louis Pauly and Kenneth Mour?. First providing a short history of money doctors, the book then goes on to cover such themes as:
*the IMF and policy advice
*the Russian experience
*contemporary money doctors.
The book shows that there is still a long way to go before international financial advice develops into something that is truly helpful in the long term.
