5 Preface and Acknowledgments In certain respects, this book is a sequel to my earlier book Governing Global Finance: The Evolution and Reform of the International Financial Architecture, which was published by Palgrave Macmillan in That book examined the global financial crisis of in the context of the history of financial crises in the post-wwii era and the efforts by governments since 1944 to establish and maintain a stable global monetary and financial order free of major financial disruptions. This book focuses more directly on the causes and consequences of the global financial crisis with the benefit of additional hindsight and the efforts of scholars to explain and understand the key factors behind the crisis and the special challenges it has posed for policy-makers in dealing with its after-effects. In this connection, it is remarkable to realize how little weight was given to the possibility of a global financial crisis arising from the credit bubbles in housing finance in a number of advanced countries and the extent of improvisation and experimentation that has been required in policy-making to deal with its shockwaves. The slow pace of global economic recovery, the persistent threat of secular stagnation and the significant distance of the major central banks from a normalized monetary policy stance provide dramatic testimony to the enduring negative effects of the crisis and the still uncertain timing of a full recovery. In this context, I provide an assessment, which was absent in the previous book, of the influence of mainstream macroeconomic thinking in (unintentionally) setting the groundwork for the possibility of the financial crisis and its lack of relevance for policy formulation and implementation in the period since. Given the international dimensions of the vii
6 viii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS financial crisis, I also examine the defects in the international financial architecture in terms of its role in crisis prevention in the period leading up to the crisis, as well as the more positive role it has played in crisis management since late One entirely new perspective raised in this book is the role of the financial sector in exacerbating the problems of income and wealth inequality in the United States and other advanced countries prior to and since the crisis. Before the crisis, the growing problem of inequality was not a major concern of macroeconomic policy-makers and academics, but since the crisis it has become an important topic of public debate. Given the enormous impact of the global financial crisis and the continuing problems of dealing with its after-effects, issues of reform from an intellectual, institutional and policy perspective have been a major topic of concern in academic and policy debates. Accordingly, this book attempts to address some of the issues relevant to this debate in an effort to contribute useful ideas. Of particular concern to me as an economist have been the reform of financial regulation, the reform of the international financial architecture and reforms in the theory and practice of macroeconomic policy. These are big topics and have been and will continue to be in the years ahead the focus of important academic and policy debate. Clearly, the emphasis they have been given in the period since the crisis represents one of its major legacies. In this book, my intent has been to highlight some of the key aspects of these topics and to suggest possible new approaches that could be considered in the various reform efforts that are needed. In view of the extent to which financial globalization has become a dominant feature of the present-day international economic order, I believe that the greatest challenges for policy and institutional reform relate to the international financial architecture. At the end of the book, by way of a summary, I identify a number of lessons and conclusions from the experience of the global financial crisis that need to be addressed and considered if future crises of this magnitude are to be avoided. Many people have contributed to my thinking on the issues raised in this book since the outbreak of the crisis. In this connection, I would like to express my appreciation for the valuable fellowship of colleagues and students at the Duke Center for International Development and the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, where I have been teaching for the last decade or so. These academic centers are dedicated to the highest standards of professional training for graduate students and
7 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix young government officials from around the world in an inter-disciplinary approach to public policy and international affairs, with a strong emphasis on international economics and economic development. My interactions in and outside the classroom have provided numerous opportunities to reflect on the ideas expressed in this book. I also wish to acknowledge the invaluable work experience I enjoyed at the International Monetary Fund, where I was a senior staff member for many years. This institution plays a central role in the international financial architecture and epitomizes the meritocratic and technocratic ideals of an elite international organization on a par with the best national traditions of public financial administration. This book could not have been written without the work experiences I had in its regional and functional activities. Again, my interactions with colleagues of the Fund during and since my tenure there have influenced my thinking on many of the issues raised in this book. Needless to say, none of the three institutions mentioned above should be implicated as endorsing any of the views expressed in this book. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the very able assistance I received from Xiaoxiao Zhang, a recent graduate of the School for Advanced International Studies, in putting together the charts presented in this book and on its cover.
