The Political Economy of International Capital Mobility Reviews

'Matthew Watson's book reaches beyond questions of international financial architecture, or critiques of homo economicus, to open up the black box of how financial markets actually work. This book is essential reading for all who wish to understand how processes of financial innovation, liberalisation, and socialisation are transforming the global financial order and introducing new forms of risk into our societies.' - Leonard Seabrooke, International Center for Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

'It is a must-read for those who are engaged in creating risk hedging strategies and anyone interested in how the modern financial system acts to propagate risks.' - Business& Finance
