Klappentext Investigates regulation of international finance that was launched in response to the financial crises of the 1990's. This book argues that although these standards are presented as 'international'! they comprise a norm for the 'proper' organization and regulation of economies which is intimately related to the Anglo-American model of capitalism.

Vestergaard argues that only by abandoning certain ‘laissez-fairy tales’ about liberalism, may we begin to understand our present condition, and open a space for critical thought in the face of an ever-more pervasive neoliberalism.
