Abstract:

This book by a prominent economist and Fed Governor provides invaluable insights into the financial development process, drawing on theoretical research and country experiences to distill the lessons for policymarkets. It explains how globalization - both real and financial - can bring prosperity, stability and wealth to emerging market countries (EMCs) that put in place the necessary institutional reforms when liberalizing their financial systems. The Next Great Globalization is intended not just for economists but also for broader audiences with an interest in financial issues.
