This classic book emphasizes the importance of the international monetary system for understanding the international economy. The second edition, published in October 2008, has consistently appeared on syllabuses since its release. The new, third edition of Globalizing Capital will extend the book's account of the development of the international monetary and financial system to cover the most recent eventful decade. The new chapter, to be placed immediately before the conclusion, will be entitled 'Brave New World' and will commence with the eruption of the 2007 Subprime Crisis and 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Subsequent sections will then describe and analyze the Greek debt crisis, the euro crisis, the 'currency wars' problem starting in 2011, and China's efforts to internationalize its currency, the renminbi, and re-make the global monetary and financial system along less dollar-centric lines. It will close with discussion of the implications of the Trump presidency for the future of international financial relations"-- Provided by publisher "Essential reading for understanding the international economy--now thoroughly updated Lucid, accessible, and provocative, and now thoroughly updated to cover recent events that have shaken the global economy, Globalizing Capital is an indispensable account of the past 150 years of international monetary and financial history--from the classical gold standard to today's post-Bretton Woods 'nonsystem.' Bringing the story up to the present, this third edition covers the global financial crisis, the Greek bailout, the Euro crisis, the rise of China as a global monetary power, the renewed controversy over the international role of the U.S. dollar, and the currency war. Concise and nontechnical, and with a proven appeal to general readers, students, and specialists alike, Globalizing Capital is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand where the international economy has been--and where it may be going"-- Provided by publisher Analysis 1997 Asian financial crisis Asset Austerity Balance of payments Bank of England Bank run Bank Barry Eichengreen Behalf Bimetallism Bretton Woods system Budget Capital control Capital flight Central bank Commodity Competitiveness Credit (finance) Currency Current account Debt crisis Debt Default (finance) Deflation Deposit account Depreciation Deutsche Bundesbank Deutsche Mark Devaluation Developed country Economic growth Economic policy Economics Economy European Central Bank European Monetary System Exchange rate Exorbitant privilege Expense Export Fiat money Finance Financial crisis of 2007-08 Financial crisis Financial institution Financial intermediary Fiscal policy Fixed exchange-rate system Floating exchange rate Foreign direct investment Foreign exchange market French franc Funding Global imbalances Gold reserve Gold standard Government bond Government debt Guarantee Income Inflation Interest rate Interest International Monetary Fund International monetary systems Investment Investor Latin America Lender of last resort Liability (financial accounting) Liberalization Line of credit Market (economics) Market liquidity Marshall Plan Monetary authority Monetary policy Monetary reform Monetary system Money supply Payment Policy Pound sterling Provision (accounting) Rate of return Receipt Recession Relative price Shortage Special drawing rights Speculation Speculative attack Tariff Tax Trader (finance) Unemployment United States dollar Welfare World War II World economy Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 13, 2019) Subject Gold standard -- History International finance -- History BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Economic History.
