Reviews
This book ... usefully traces the evolution of the thinking about this issue at the International Monetary Fund, the international body most concerned with it. -- Foreign Affairs Combining archival research, interviews, and his own survey research, [Chwieroth] provides a compelling history of how the IMF gradually changed from supporting capital controls to opposing them... Chwieroth's work fills an important void in the literature. -- Choice This is a fascinating book... Every economist with an interest in international finance would learn from reading this book, and would enjoy doing so. -- Geoffrey Wood, Journal of Financial History Review Jeffrey M. Chwieroth provides the best inside view of the international organization that an outsider can offer... More organizational behavior than international economics, Capital Ideas is an important contribution to the literature on IO governance. -- Anthony Clark, Journal of International and Global Studies How do ideas travel and become shared beliefs? Or, more worryingly, how do 'causal beliefs become hardened into articles of faith' (p. 47)? And how do beliefs get turned into policies? In this intelligent, well-researched and thought-provoking book Jeffrey Chwieroth addresses these questions, using the IMF's approach to capital account liberalization as a case study... Capital Ideas is a truly multidisciplinary book whose author draws on economics, international political economy and sociology to explore how an organization fosters, promotes and disseminates ideas. -- Paola Subacchi, International Affairs

Capital Ideas is a truly multidisciplinary book whose author draws on economics, international political economy and sociology to explore how an organization fosters, promotes and disseminates ideas. --Paola Subacchi, International Affairs [Capital Ideas] is an absorbing narrative of the varying IMF's intellectual processes at work. Many may find it academic in approach--and it is. Nevertheless, the book is an important read for those who wish to understand our economic environment to be better masters of our own destiny. --Srikanth Srinivas, Businessworld All in all, the book offers a comprehensive explanation of the international financial flow: mechanisms, institutions, causes and effects... [I]ts language is clear and accessible to all. --Rodica Milena Zaharia, European Legacy
