J. Samuel Barkin uses an innovative blend of rationalist and constructivist methodologies, approaches to international political economy that normally exist in isolation from one another. Barkin argues that the level of a country's involvement in international finance specifically motivates it to lead. This is particularly relevant today, given the on-going discussions on how to respond to local and global financial crises. Barkin illustrates his theory with an episodic history of international monetary leadership over the last four centuries: Dutch leadership in the seventeenth century; British leadership in the nineteenth; the failure of leadership in the interwar era and Great Depression; and the role of the U.S. in the construction of an international economic infrastructure since World War II. 606 $aFinance$xHistory 606 $aInternational economic relations$xHistory 606 $aMoney$xHistory 606 $aLeadership$xHistory 615 0$aFinance$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational economic relations$xHistory. 615 0$aMoney$xHistory. 615 0$aLeadership$xHistory. 676 $a332/.042 700 $aBarkin$b J.
