US Power in International Finance

Leonard Seabrooke argues that the key to understanding "change" in international finance in the last 40 years rests with US structural power. He demonstrates how structural power draws from state-societal relations and how American promotion of "direct financing" has encouraged Britain, Japan and Germany to "catch-up" to US-led innovations. Drawing on multi-disciplinary insight, the book benefits those who wish to understand more about "change" in the international political economy.
