In July 1944, delegates from forty-four allied nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The meeting resulted in the creation of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("IBRD"), and the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"). This book demonstrates that current Bretton Woods Institutions' ("BWI") policies must be fundamentally redesigned, since many are archaic, and others are counter-productive to integral sustainable development in the current global economy. Further, the book argues that the dominant nations in the BWI have forced their political agendas on the rest of the world, while hiding behind the veil of these multilateral global financial institutions. The book concludes that the BWI, due to their lending policies and governing structures, have restrained authentic global development. It also proposes alternative strategies for authentic sustainable development through other multilateral global institutions. PROFESSOR MARK J.

George Louis Beer Prize Winner Wallace K. Ferguson Prize Finalist A Marginal Revolution Book of the Year “A groundbreaking contribution...Intellectual history at its best.” —Stephen Wertheim, Foreign Affairs Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. It was a project that changed the world, but was also undermined time and again by the relentless change and social injustice that accompanied it. “Slobodian’s lucidly written intellectual history traces the ideas of a group of Western thinkers who sought to create, against a backdrop of anarchy, globally applicable economic rules. Their attempt, it turns out, succeeded all too well.” —Pankaj Mishra, Bloomberg Opinion “Fascinating, innovative...Slobodian has underlined the profound conservatism of the first generation of neoliberals and their fundamental hostility to democracy.” —Adam Tooze, Dissent “The definitive history of neoliberalism as a political project.” —Boston Review

Download Internalizing Globalization Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book explores how a wide range of countries attempt to cope with the challenges of globalization. While the internalization of globalization proceeds in significantly different ways, there is a broad process of convergence taking place around the politics of neoliberalism and a more market-oriented version of capitalism. The book examines how distinct social structures, political cultures, patterns of party and interest group politics, classes, public policies, liberal democratic and authoritarian institutions, and the discourses that frame them, are being reshaped by political actors. Chapters cover national experiences from Europe and North America to Asia and Latin America (Chile, Mexico, and Peru).

Download Blind Spot Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Neoliberalism has been the defining paradigm in global health since the latter part of the twentieth century. What started as an untested and unproven theory that the creation of unfettered markets would give rise to political democracy led to policies that promoted the belief that private markets were the optimal agents for the distribution of social goods, including health care. A vivid illustration of the infiltration of neoliberal ideology into the design and implementation of development programs, this case study, set in post-Soviet Tajikistan’s remote eastern province of Badakhshan, draws on extensive ethnographic and historical material to examine a “revolving drug fund” program—used by numerous nongovernmental organizations globally to address shortages of high-quality pharmaceuticals in poor communities. Provocative, rigorous, and accessible, Blind Spot offers a cautionary tale about the forces driving decision making in health and development policy today, illustrating how the privatization of health care can have catastrophic outcomes for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Download The Rise and Fall of Neoliberal Capitalism Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The financial and economic collapse that began in the United States in 2008 and spread to the rest of the world continues to burden the global economy. David Kotz, who was one of the few academic economists to predict it, argues that the ongoing economic crisis is not simply the aftermath of financial panic and an unusually severe recession but instead is a structural crisis of neoliberal, or free-market, capitalism. Consequently, continuing stagnation cannot be resolved by policy measures alone. It requires major institutional restructuring. "Kotz's book will reward careful study by everyone interested in the question of stages in the history of capitalism." --Edwin Dickens, Science & Society "Whereas others] suggest that the downfall of the postwar system in Europe and the United States is the result of the triumph of ideas, Kotz argues persuasively that it is actually the result of the exercise of power by those who benefit from the capitalist economic organization of society. The analysis and evidence he brings to bear in support of the role of power exercised by business and political leaders is a most valuable aspect of this book--one among many important contributions to our knowledge that makes it worthwhile." --Michael Meeropol, Challenge

Download Global Justice and the Reform of the Bretton Woods Regime Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Abstract: My dissertation focuses on the problem of global justice (or cosmopolitanism) and its implications for international economic institutions, namely, the IMF and the World Bank. This is a topic that has recently attracted the attention of large audiences in academia, government and the general public. In the first part of my work, I explore theories of global economic justice in connection with questions of democratic governance. I focus especially on the governance of Bretton Woods institutions and I analyze rules affecting quota distributions, voting procedures and loan conditionality. The use of the latter by the IMF and the World Bank should call for heightened awareness of the biases that may result when implementing loan conditions in the developing world. Yet I find that global justice theorists tend to discuss the question of economic justice only at a highly abstract level. As a consequence, they have largely overlooked the power distortions implicit in the Bretton Woods regime. I then discuss some statist critiques of cosmopolitanism, which prove to be illuminating with respect to the past roles played by great powers in shaping the structures and policies of international financial institutions. I suggest ways in which both cosmopolitan and statist approaches could complement each other. The second part of the dissertation evaluates an empirical case of cosmopolitan activism. It describes the transnational advocacy campaign against "structural adjustment" (or neo-liberal policy conditionality) by the IMF and the World Bank. Drawing on the literature on social movements and the constructivist school of international relations theory, I argue that over the last three decades campaigners against neo-liberalism have incorporated many of the justice concerns raised by cosmopolitan theorists. As part of their strategy to reverse Bretton Woods sponsored neo-liberal reforms, I suggest activists have also grasped the necessity to engage with state actors in the global periphery. In the last chapter, I analyze the implications of global justice debates for the future of Bretton Woods and I review reform proposals that, critics believe, would contribute to increased fairness in the governance of international financial regimes.

Download Unholy Trinity Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Our lives are all affected by three hugely powerful and well financed, but undemocratic, organizations: the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. These institutions share a common ideology. They aggressively promote "corporate" capitalism, neoliberalism, giving free rein to the interests of a small number of transnational corporations. This book presents the history and fundamental ideas of this economic ideology. Describing each member of the "unholy trinity," it shows how neoliberalism hijacked the IMF, World Bank and WTO in relation to their global financial, development and trade management roles.
