Publisher Synopsis
"Financial markets are often castigated for having short memory. This book shows that actually hope trumps memory. The history of the 1917 Soviet repudiation of Russian debts is a breathtaking illustration of how markets price political risk, bailout expectations and the effect of sanctions on defaulters. This is an absolute must-read for policymakers, professional investors, researchers or simple observers of the recent financial crisis."--Rui Esteves, University of Oxford -- Rui Esteves "Sovereign debt and default are back in the news. As Kim Ooosterlinck reminds us in his important book, this should not be a surprise. Earlier defaults, like those of the Bolsheviks, have cast a long shadow. There is much food for thought here for financial historians and financial market participants alike."-Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee and Helen N.
