The global financial system is in serious trouble. Public figures as diverse as George Soros and the British Chancellor of the Exchequer have been calling for reform. An absence of effective regulation over currency speculations, new financial products and shifts of “hot money” to emerging markets has generated a volatility that threatens the orderly running of national economies. Kavaljit Singh analyses the recent changes in the global financial system and provides a critical assessment of current proposals to deal with the future. Looking at past experiences of managing volatile capital flows, the author calls for new policy measures at national, regional and international levels.

Review:
'We can always count on Kavaljit Singh for lucid and hard-hitting analysis. This book is no exception.' Susan George, author and associate director of the Transnational Institute (TNI), Amsterdam. 'Kavaljit Singh has made a difficult subject intelligible to ordinary citizens, and in a very readable way he has mapped out the progressive alternatives for bringing international finance under democratic control.' Edward S Herman, University of Pennsylvania 'Singh is to be congratulated... an up-to-date critical assessment of financial globalization.' David Felix, Washington University in St. Louis 'Should be made compulsory reading for finance ministers, central bankers, economic policy makers... learned international experts.' Arun Ghosh, economist and former member of the Planning Commission, India 'Taming Global Financial Flows is a must read for anyone concerned about globalization or poverty eradication...Singh succeeded in melding academic rigor with accessible language.' Jo Marie Griesgraber, director of the Rethinking Bretton Woods Project
