One Currency, Two Markets
Crashed
In the concluding chapter of Crashed, Adam Tooze argues that the collapse of the US bank Lehman Brothers was one of the defining moments in our collective sense of history. Indeed, everyone has their own story of what they were doing on the morning of 15 September 2008, when Lehman filed for bankruptcy and triggered immense financial instability that reverberated throughout the world. Eleven years have passed, and yet we are still grappling with …
The populist temptation
The recent surge of populism is a relatively new occurrence in advanced economies. The question is whether this surge is directly correlated to wider income (and wealth) inequality, or if it is related to the austerity measures introduced as a result of the global financial crisis. Or, perhaps, is it in fact just a matter of identity and nativism? In The populist temptation, Barry Eichengreen argues that adverse economic conditions leverage griev…
Unfinished business
As we are approaching the tenth anniversary of the global financial crisis, Unelected power and Unfinished business address questions that remain critical to this day. How did the crisis happen? How was it resolved? Was a more robust and resilient system put in place and has the system become better at preventing financial instability? In Unfinished business, Tamim Bayoumi, deputy director in the Strategy, Policy and Review Department at the IMF,…
My life, our times; Grave new world
What links a former prime minister, a former chief economist and an academic? They have all recently written about globalization. The current wave of globalization started roughly at the beginning of the 1980s and coincided with new approaches to economic policy—notably Thatcherism in the United Kingdom, Reaganism in the United States and the ‘opening up’ of China driven by Deng Xiaoping's reforms. In My life, our times Gordon Brown traces how th…
The rise and fall of American growth
To begin in a spirit of full disclosure: this is a book that I wasn't keen to read. I found its length daunting—I am a strong believer in the combination of portability and readability when it comes to physical books. And I was not convinced by the author's argument that the scale and scope of innovation that the United States achieved between 1870 and 1970 cannot be repeated. What about the IT revolution that has completely transformed our lives…
Currency in Progress and Governance in Transition
In November 2008 the G20 became the premier forum for international economic and financial affairs. As a result, the international monetary system has come to reflect the transformation of the global economy brought about by China’s emergence as the second largest economy and major exporter, and by the related limits of international governance, especially of the so-called Bretton Woods institutions. This article argues that Zhou Xiaochuan, gover…
Currency power
Currency power: understanding monetary rivalry. By Benjamin J. Cohen. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. 2015. 304pp. £16.55. ISBN 978 0 69116 785 5. Benjamin J. Cohen is a prolific author and a well-known expert on the political economy of international money. He has written extensively about the relationship between state power and international money and the concept of power in international economic relations. In Currency power, he co…
Currency politics
In Currency politics, Jeffry Frieden makes the critical and yet often overlooked point that economic policies reflect the preferences of different groups in society and so the right choice—providing that the available sets of policies are sound—depends on whose preferences prevail. Within the theoretical framework that opens the book and supports the subsequent discussion, Frieden explores the relationship between currency policy and the distribu…
Who is in control of the international monetary system
Although the financial and economic crisis did not directly hit the international monetary system, it has lead to the rethinking of the overall architecture that underpins the world economy. Can the current system of floating currency blocs with dollar-based trade and reserves withstand the strains of the global adjustment ahead? It is time to consider alternatives. This article argues that the existing system needs to evolve into a multicurrency…

From Bretton Woods onwards
Will the dollar soon lose its key international currency status? In this article I argue that neither the emergence of the Euro nor geopolitical issues threaten the future of the dollar. The world's central banks may slow down their accumulation of dollars, but are unlikely to put an end to the dollar standard regime. I also caution against confusing the international role of the dollar as the supreme store of value with its two other roles—as th…

Reforming economic governance in Europe
The European Union is at a crossroad. In recent years it has been going through a major review of its institutional design without, however, clearly defining its role and scope. The credibility of its institutions is adversely affected by the widening gap between ambitious economic goals and the dismal performance of the economy in some member countries. Structural reforms have been progressing at a painfully slow pace. Popular support has been d…
Meta-Economic History
T he Eleventh International Economic History Congress, the latest of a series which began in Stockholm in i960, was held in Milan, Italy, from I2 to i6 September I994. As a member of the organizing committee, I acquired a large body of data on the participants, their geographical, age, and sex distributions, and on the papers given. If we accept that the congress provides a good snapshot of the field-there were more than I,ooo economic historians…
Conjunctural poor and structural poor
Cet article traite des concepts de la pauvreté (c.à.d. de la condition de ceux qui, faute de biens ou d'un capital, sont obligés de travailler pour gagner leur vie) et de l'indigence (qui est l'état de quiconque est dans l'impossibilité de pourvoir aux besoins de sa famille). Les nombreuses baisses et crises de l'économie préindustrielle et les privations au cours de la vie sont responsables de la détérioration périodique du niveau de vie des per…
