Reviews for Financial Crisis, Contagion, and Containment: From Asia to Argentina
"Financial Crisis, Contagion, and Containment is though-provoking for economic and financial practitioners who want to better understand financial crises and the IMF's attendant policy responses. Although originally written in 2003, the book remains relevant today."
