Sommario/riassunto

The book brings together internationally respected specialists from economics, history and political science such as Harold James, Louis Pauly and Kenneth MoureĢ. 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.
