But trade is not the only way in which nations interact economically. Over the past two decades, another form of economic exchange has risen to a level of vastly greater significance and political concern: the purchase and sale of financial assets across borders. Nearly $2trillion worth of currency now moves cross-border every day, roughly 90 percent of which is accounted for by financial flows unrelated to trade in goods and services-a stunning inversion of the figures in 1970. The time is ripe to ask fundamental questions about what Benn Steil and Robert Litan have coined as "financial statecraft," or those aspects of economic statecraft directed at influencing international capital flows. How precisely has the American government practiced financial statecraft? How effective have these efforts been? And how can they be made more effective? The authors provide penetrating and incisive answers in this timely and stimulating book. 606 $aFinancial institutions$zUnited States 606 $aCapital movements$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aInternational finance 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinancial institutions 615 0$aCapital movements$xGovernment policy 615 0$aInternational finance. 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a332/.0424 700 $aSteil$b Benn$0283013 701 $aLitan$b Robert E.$f1950-$0127486 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451769003321 996 $aFinancial statecraft$92478253 997 $aUNINA
