About the Book

Award-winning journalist and author Paul Blustein has received wide acclaim for his books about the inner workings of international economic institutions, notably the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization. In Off Balance, he weaves a compelling narrative that details the failings of such institutions in the global financial crisis that erupted in 2008. Based on interviews with scores of policy makers and on thousands of pages of confidential documents to which Blustein obtained exclusive access, the book focusses mainly on the IMF and the Financial Stability Forum in the run-up to and early months of the crisis. Blustein exposes serious weaknesses in these and other institutions, which lead to sobering conclusions about the governability of the global economy.

Paul Blustein' s extensive experience and his ability to explain the complex in human terms drives this point home in no uncertain terms." The Right Honourable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada "Who knew that a detailed account of the regulation of global finance could actually be...spellbinding. Only Paul Blustein - journalist, forensic economist and financial detective extraordinaire - could have possibly written it. The new revelations based "Blustein combines the journalist' s storytelling skills with the historian' s perspective to relate a story that is still being played out in the G7, G20 and the Bank for International Settlements, as well as in the IMF and the FSB. His conclusion is sober
