Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listen to a short interview with Rawi AbdelalHost: Chris Gondek | Producer: Heron & Crane The rise of global financial markets in the last decades of the twentieth century was premised on one fundamental idea: that capital ought to flow across country borders with minimal restriction and regulation. Freedom for capital movements became the new orthodoxy. In an intellectual, legal, and political history of financial globalization, Rawi Abdelal shows that this was not always the case. Transactions routinely executed by bankers, managers, and investors during the 1990s--trading foreign stocks and bonds, borrowing in foreign currencies--had been illegal in many countries only decades, and sometimes just a year or two, earlier. How and why did the world shift from an orthodoxy of free capital movements in 1914 to an orthodoxy of capital controls in 1944 and then back again by 1994? How have such standards of appropriate behavior been codified and transmitted internationally? Contrary to conventional accounts, Abdelal argues that neither the U.S. Treasury nor Wall Street bankers have preferred or promoted multilateral, liberal rules for global finance. Instead, European policy makers conceived and promoted the liberal rules that compose the international financial architecture. Whereas U.S. policy makers have tended to embrace unilateral, ad hoc globalization, French and European policy makers have promoted a rule-based, "managed" globalization. This contest over the character of globalization continues today.

This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette année, le FMI et la Banque mondiale soufflent 70 bougies et F&D fête son premier demi-siècle. Que de bouleversements en quelques décennies! Songeant à ces deux anniversaires, nous nous sommes interrogés sur la transformation de l'économie mondiale, passée et à venir, en nous demandant à quoi elle ressemblerait dans 70 ans. Nous avons demandé à cinq lauréats du Prix Nobel — George Akerlof, Paul Krugman, Robert Solow, Michael Spence et Joseph Stiglitz — quel était, selon eux, le grand thème qui allait définir les contours de l’économie mondiale durant les années à venir. Ayhan Kose et Ezgi Ozturk retracent la transformation économique des 70 dernières années dans «De profondes mutations». Dans « Comment donner forme à la mondialisation », Martin Wolf dresse le bilan des risques et des promesses de cette intégration mondiale. Dans « Entre nous », Christine Lagarde, Directrice générale du FMI, envisage le parcours de l'institution durant la décennie à venir et Olivier Blanchard, Chef économiste du FMI, tire les enseignements de la crise financière de 2008 dans « Les dangers qui nous guettent ». Aussi dans ce numéro, 7 pages de bande-dessinée, que l'on doit au dessinateur Nick Galifianakis et à Joe Procopio, vous invitent à découvrir en images les origines du FMI. La rubrique «Paroles d’économistes» dresse le portrait d’un colosse de l’économie : Ken Arrow, lauréat du Prix Nobel et Professeur à Stanford, qui très tôt, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a manifesté une passion pour la mathématique et la météorologie, prélude d’une carrière amplement connue et reconnue. Pour compléter le dossier, Jeffrey Ball nous parle de la nouvelle donne énergétique et Jonathan Ostry et Andrew Berg traitent d’une problématique des plus actuelles, celle de l’inégalité et des moyens de la mesurer.

Download or read book Turbulent Waters written by Ralph C. Bryant and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world economy at the end of the twentieth century was afflicted with financial turbulence. Millions of people in emerging-market nations endured severe recessions, and many residents of wealthy nations also experienced losses. Some scholars describe this instability as a consequence of a progressively integrated global economy. Writing for the Washington Post, Jessica Matthews describe an "enormous, several trillion-dollar pool of money that sloshes around in what is effectively a supranational cyberspace, moving by computer in and out of off-shore banks and chasing profits in twenty-four hour markets."Spanning the disciplines of economics, finance, political economy and international relations, this wide-ranging, analytical review is a mainstream "primer" for defining the issues and catalyzing a fruitful public debate. It is grounded in an exposition of the analytic fundamentals of financial activity, how those fundamentals apply to an integrating (but still far from perfectly integrated) world economy and financial system, and how the institutions of collective governance need to be adapted to that evolving world. In addition to its analytical overview, Turbulent Waters offers practical recommendations for the major financial challenges that policymakers will face during the first decades of the twenty-first century.

There are case studies of the Asian financial crisis and several other key instances of instability in world markets the new geography of money – analyzes the crisis of legitimacy created by a global system where governing authority is exercised now more by market forces than by sovereign states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the workings of financial institutions and financial markets beyond the discipline of economics, which has been accelerated by the financial crisis of the early twenty-first century. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Finance brings together twenty-nine chapters, written by scholars of international repute from Europe, North America, and Asia, to provide comprehensive coverage on a variety of topics related to the role of finance in a globalized world, and its historical development. Topics include global institutions of modern finance, types of actors involved in financial transactions and supporting technologies, mortgage markets, rating agencies, and the role of financial economics. Particular attention is given to financial crises, which are discussed in a special section, as well as to alternative forms of finance, including Islamic finance and the rise of China. The Handbook will be an indispensable tool for academics, researchers, and students of contemporary finance and economic sociology, and will serve as a reference point for the expanding international community of scholars researching these areas from a broadly-defined sociological perspective.

The book explains the influence of ICT in the emergence and consolidation, especially from the 1980s, of new forms of operation and management of the globalized financial system, highly connected, operated in “real time” with intensive use of technological features, and how these advances are related with the economic and social changes in question. It also describes how contemporary capital markets work, where the search for earnings is leveraged by sophisticated mathematical models, robots and automated trading software that seek financial gains in the milliseconds scale.

Download or read book Comment Rester Comp titif Dans L conomie Mondiale written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by OCDE. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les chaînes de valeur mondiales transforment radicalement la façon dont les biens et services sont produits. Les composants fabriqués dans un pays, par exemple, sont de plus en plus souvent assemblés dans un autre pays et vendus dans un troisième. La mondialisation de la production modifie la structure industrielle au sein des pays de l'OCDE, et elle a affaibli leur compétitivité dans certains secteurs. Autre conséquence importante: la crainte des pertes d'emploi dues à l'externalisation et aux délocalisations. Celle-ci existe non seulement dans le secteur manufacturier mais également de plus en plus dans le secteur des services. L'intégration rapide de la Chine et de l'Inde, avec leurs importantes ressources en personnel qualifié, renforce ces préoccupations. Comment les pays de l'OCDE doivent-ils réagir ? Ce rapport présente un large éventail de données de l'OCDE sur la mondialisation des chaînes de valeur et l'augmentation de l'externalisation et des délocalisations. Il étudie l'incidence de la mondialisation de la production sur les pays de l'OCDE, tant au niveau macroéconomique que sectoriel. Les coûts et les avantages de la mondialisation sont ensuite analysés, notamment en matière d'emploi et de productivité. Enfin, cet ouvrage examine l'effet de la mondialisation sur la compétitivité des pays de l'OCDE, en soulignant l'importance d'une stratégie d'innovation efficace. Il traite de la question de la progression dans la chaîne de valeur non seulement au sein des pays de l'OCDE, mais également en Chine, dans un contexte où la R-D gagne de plus en plus les pays émergents.
