Coverage of Russia in western newspapers leaves an overriding impression that the place is corrupt and doomed. Economists and pundits have focused on corruption, and the lack of the rule of law as the main causes of last year's crash. These structural problems definitely exist and they are indeed serious. But they also existed and were serious when the stock market was booming in 1996-1997 on the perceived success of Russian reforms. In fact, focus on these two problems neither explains the crash nor the real news of recent months - that production in Russia is steadily growing for the first time in a decade. The reason for this turnaround is the collapse of the rouble, which freed industry from the uncompetitiveness of the former exchange rate. The August 17 debacle is turning out to be salvation of Russian industry. The depression of Russia's heartland in 1995-1998 was largely caused by the very success of stabilisation. To bring down rampant inflation the exchange rate was pegged. As a result inflation was swiftly reduced in 1996 and consumption and financial booms in 1997 triggered a small growth blip, but industry sank further into its depressive mire. While stock markets went from high to high the real economy was suffering from Russia's version of the Dutch Disease. The commodity-based export sector prospered, largely freed from the subsidisation role of Soviet times, but Russian manufacturing went from bad to worse. Companies made more losses and in order to survive they failed to pay tax, wage and supplier bills, and turned to barter. While corruption, tax avoidance and plain stealing by management were - and are - pervasive, they alone do not suffice to explain the growth of these virtual phenomena during the stabilisation period. Post-crash, things are different. Federal tax revenues are up which has allowed the government to start paying off some of its outstanding arrears. In the private sector profits, cash-flow, and order book levels are up, while barter and wage arrears are down. With a competitive exchange rate the Russian economy is reviving for the first time in decades. Russia's transformation into a market economy, however flawed, is bearing some fruit. Provided there is no fast real appreciation and no major political upheaval, there is nothing to suggest that the Russian economy will not keep on growing. But although denouncing corruption might help to foster positive change, blaming it for the crash (and for the West's loss of Russia) provides precious little insight. Straight exchange rate economics goes much further in explaining why Russia continued to decline after stabilising in 1995, and why it is growing now.

Financial crises are dramatic events. When they emerge, they tend to dominate the attention of the press and become the focus of policymakers. In one form or another, they have affected the lives of millions of people throughout the world. As references to 16th century Dutch tulips, 18th South Seas merchant ventures, or 1920s Florida real estate make clear, they have been around for a long time. At their worst, such as in the cases of the Great Depression or the current Great Recession, their effects have been felt worldwide, with the number of people affected counted into the billions. They have at times changed the course of history. This book analyses ten of the most important financial crises of the last thirty years. The specific crises covered in the book are the 1982 Chilean crisis, the 1992 ERM crisis, the 1994 Mexican crisis, the 1997 Asian crisis, the 1998 Russian crisis, the 1999 Brazilian crisis, the 1999 Ecuadorian crisis, the 2000 Turkish crisis, the 2002 Argentine crisis, and the 2008 crisis in Iceland. The set includes the most important emerging-market crises of the last three decades as well as two particularly informative advanced-country crises, the ERM crisis of 1992 and the Icelandic crisis of 2008. A separate chapter is devoted to each crisis, and a brief concluding chapter sums up some of the key lessons that I believe that we can draw from these events.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

For a century, economists have driven forward the cause of globalization in financial institutions, labour markets, and trade. Yet there have been consistent warning signs that a global economy and free trade might not always be advantageous. Where are the pressure points? What could be done about them? Dani Rodrik examines the back-story from its seventeenth-century origins through the milestones of the gold standard, the Bretton Woods Agreement, and the Washington Consensus, to the present day. Although economic globalization has enabled unprecedented levels of prosperity in advanced countries and has been a boon to hundreds of millions of poor workers in China and elsewhere in Asia, it is a concept that rests on shaky pillars, he contends. Its long-term sustainability is not a given. The heart of Rodrik’s argument is a fundamental 'trilemma': that we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization. Give too much power to governments, and you have protectionism. Give markets too much freedom, and you have an unstable world economy with little social and political support from those it is supposed to help. Rodrik argues for smart globalization, not maximum globalization.
