Table of Contents Introduction: The Multiple Faces of the Debt CrisisThe Stage of the Debt Crisis: A Sketch of the Actors RolesThe Banking Approach: Structural Myopia and Systemic InertiaThe Official Approach: The Search for an Adequate Mix of Adjustment and FinancingThe Functionalist Approach: The Savings and Foreign Exchange ConstraintThe Marxist Approach: A Theory of Financial ExploitationThe Dependency Approach: A Historical-Structural Method of AnalysisConclusion: A Political Economy of Internationl DebtAppendixBibliographyIndex Review ?Bouchet, a highly qualified research economist with central bank and government experience working with debt issues, has written a comprehensive, readable summary of approaches to the debt problem. This includes clear and critical analyses of the process banks use to assess country risk; the approaches of the official agencies; the functionalist theory of development; the traditional Marxist approach; and dependency theory. He discusses the underlying paradigms and assumptions and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. Bouchet concludes with his own eclectic proposals for dealing with the debt crisis, emphasizing that no quick fix will work and that no single response will be sufficient. This book differs from other studies in emphasizing different philosophical approaches, rather than expressing a particular viewpoint of focusing on the conflicting interests of the involved parties. The book contains a useful selected bibliography, a good index, chapters-endnotes, and relevant supporting documents. This balanced analysis provides a superb introduction to the conflicts raging over this serious problem and should be of interest to economists, students, and practitioners trying to understand the broader picture.?-Choice"Bouchet, a highly qualified research economist with central bank and government experience working with debt issues, has written a comprehensive, readable summary of approaches to the debt problem.
