I.O.U. The Debt Threat and Why We Must Defuse It

More about the book

"I.O.U. is a story of avarice, but also of vulnerability; of power asymmetries and misuse of power; of corrupt dictators and careless lenders; of Cold War interests and Wall Street pressure; of developing country governments who get given it, and developing country people who have no access to it. Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalisation, provides a radical blueprint for addressing the debt crisis. She argues that this is not an issue of left or right : this is an issue of right versus wrong; of peace versus war. It must be addressed now."--Jacket
