IMF Essays from a Time of Crisis collects sixteen essays written for the most part during his time at the IMF, each updated with Fischer's later reflections on the issues raised. The IMF drew much criticism for some of its actions during Fischer's tenure, and he vigorously defends the "battlefield medicine" practiced by the IMF during a series of economic crises, which included the problems of economic transition in the former Soviet bloc and the Asian financial crisis. Fischer addresses the subsequent calls for reform of the international financial system and makes the case for the IMF as an international lender of last resort.The first section of essays, "The Role of the IMF and the Reform of the International Financial System," considers the IMF's role in the international financial system in light of the crises of the 1990s. The second section, "Macroeconomic Policy, Stabilization, and Transition," examines such topics as exchange rate regimes, inflation, and Eastern Europe's relation to the European Union. The final section, "Poverty and Development," reflects Fischer's basic belief that economic policies should explicitly target poverty reduction. These engaging and accessible essays will appeal not only to economics students, economists, and policymakers but also to the general reader interested in the international monetary system. 000811150 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 000811150 61020 $$aInternational Monetary Fund. 000811150 650_0 $$aMonetary policy$$zDeveloping countries. 000811150 650_0 $$aEconomic stabilization$$zDeveloping countries. 000811150 650_0 $$aForeign exchange rates$$zDeveloping countries. 000811150 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Finance 000811150 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Macroeconomics 000811150 653__ $$aECONOMICS/International Economics 000811150 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000811150 852__ $$bebk$$hMIT Press 000811150 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/3675.001.0001$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 000811150 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 000811150 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:811150$$pGLOBAL_SET 000811150 980__ $$aBIB 000811150 980__ $$aEBOOK 000811150 982__ $$aEbook 000811150 983__ $$aOnline
