Les ABC request

[Mathew Forstater]

The book 50 YEARS IS ENOUGH (including contributions by Doug Henwood and
Patrick Bond from this list) is good.  There was a book actually called
THE ABC'S OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCE by Pool and Stamos that is a little
dated and some of it a little conventional but good on some stuff. Cheryl
Payer, Susan George have some good stuff on debt crisis, imf/world bank.
Also A. MacEwan.  On the "third world debt crisis" my fave is William
Darity, Jr. and Bobbie Horn, THE LOAN PUSHERS. Theresa Hayter is another
name on AID AS IMPERIALISM.  Also Daniel Offiong. Bruce Rich has something
out called MORTGAGING THE EARTH, but I haven't had time to read it yet.
If you can get a hold of John Eatwell's WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BRITAIN? you
get a good explanation of the problem with devaluation/deflation as
solutions.  It is based on Kaldor's work.  Shaikh has great stuff on
exchange rates from a marxian perspective.
