By far the best book written in recent years on the vexing subject of how the international community should address international financial crises of emerging market economies. Roubini and Setser put it all together: a masterful overview of theoretical issues, a skilled and accurate account of recent crises, and a wise, balanced, and judicious discussion of the policy debates.
