"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is in eclipse as the preeminent institution promoting international economic and financial stability, in large measure because of a lack of consensus on its role, says former US official Edwin M. Truman. It should not focus primarily on global poverty or on international financial crises affecting a small group of vulnerable economies. Instead, it must engage each of its members on the full range of their economic and financial policies and play a central role in shaping global economic performance - in particular, the policies of systemically important countries."--Jacket.
