Concluding Remarks. 330 $aThis book offers a concise but thorough analysis of the International Monetary Fund reform debate. Since the advent of the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, a lengthy deliberation has ensued over whether the IMF should be reformed, abolished, or left as is. The authors approach this debate from a normative perspective while looking at arguments from all sides, as well as reflecting on the history, functions, and ideology of the IMF. This unique approach gives weight to the authors' perspectives and their conclusion that the IMF ultimately does more harm than good. Written to analyze and contribute to the current IMF debate, this Palgrave Pivot is a must-read for scholars and policymakers invested in the conversation surrounding IMF reform. . 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aInternational Economics 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aDevelopment Economics 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a338.9 676 $a332.152 700 $aMoosa$b Imad A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0148887 702 $aMoosa$b Nisreen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337675903321 996 $aEliminating the IMF$91938845 997 $aUNINA
