The financial crisis which erupted in mid-2007 has been widely viewed as the
most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The
crisis which originated in developed countries quickly spread to developing
countries and the rest of the world. The turbulence in financial systems was
followed by a significant reduction in real economic activity throughout the
world. The crisis has highlighted that financial markets are inherently
unstable and market failures have huge economic and social costs. The crisis
has renewed debate on the role of global finance and how it should be
regulated.

The aim of this book is to encourage and stimulate a more informed debate on
reforming the global finance. It examines recent developments and problems
afflicting the global financial system. From a developing country
perspective, it enunciates guiding principles and offers concrete policy
measures to create a more stable, equitable and sustainable global financial
system. Several innovative measures have been proposed to reform the global
finance and to ensure that it serves the real economy.

*“The book is an outstanding contribution to the literature on global
financial crisis. It is objective, sensitive, sensible, scholarly and yet
eminently readable, with unique focus on developing countries. It should be
a compulsory reading for policy makers and market participants.” **– *

*Dr. Y. V. Reddy, Governor, Reserve Bank of India (2003-08)*
