Bringing together an array of articles, this excellent new book will be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in development studies as well as being an eye-opening read for policy makers involved in the IMF. 'The IMF and the Future will interest anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of the IMF role in the world economy and is prepared to live with the dismalness of economic science ... it is an excellent survey of the policy choices and problems that pushed the IMF in the direction it is moving today.' - James M. Boughton, Times Higher Education Supplement
