Title: Needs a Little More
Product review: This book did a great job of covering the pure factual information regarding the failure of the IMF. However, its main weak point comes in the fact that, despite recounting the events surrounding the Asian crisis, it does not contain enough information that is new and never-before told. When I read a book on world economic issues, I expect to learn a variety of new opinions and little-known facts, and Blustein did not do enough of this. The book was not an eye-opener to the workings of the IMF, and this was a huge dissapointment as far as I am concerned. I actually fell asleep midway through due to the monontonous meanderings of Blustein's antics, and I would suggest getting it out of the library before even considering adding it to your collection. I really expected more from it, and was struck by just how uninspiring it was.
