The author investigates how debt - a critical component of states' economic infrastructure - leads to debilitating crises, and how these crises undermine the economic autonomy and political independence of states. A must read for those who wish to understand how the world economic order operates and impacts the well-being of individuals and entire populations, this book is indispensable for professionals and students in the fields of law, political sciences and international relations and those who seek to understand why economic peace is, in many cases, beyond our reach"-- 0aInternational finance. 0aForeign trade regulation. 0aInternational financexPolitical aspects.
