Publisher Synopsis
Sovereign Debt at the Crossroads brings into sharp relief the multiple burdens that indebtedness imposes on the developing world. It explores the range of debt-related issues that must be addressed to lift poor countries and poor people out of poverty. The authors go beyond mere debt relief to examine a variety of ways forward including carefully designed economic reforms, expanded debt-for-nature swaps, better targeted aid, and freer trade. If you read one book onthe debt crisis, this should be it. * Daniel C. Esty, Director, Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy * Read more...
