Exploring in depth the institutions that underpin the global economy, this study provides invaluable insights into why a minimum economic order has endured for so long and why states are unwilling to establish a maximum order, a global safety net for all. The author investigates how debt - a critical component of states’ infrastructure - leads to debilitating crises, and how these crises undermine the economic autonomy and political independence of states. A must read for those who wish to understand how the world economic order operates and impacts the well-being of individuals and entire populations, this book is indispensable for professionals and students in the fields of law, political sciences and international relations and those who seek to understand why economic peace is, in many cases, beyond our reach.

’It all comes together in Louka's extraordinarily lucid, accessible and realistic account of the structure and workings of the global political-economic system. Her book is rich in descriptions of key institutions and in contemporary and historic examples. Louka's deconstruction of the global law-making process and the regulatory initiatives of the key international institutions as well as her recommendations for securing minimum order in the system are refreshingly feasible and reasonable.’- Michael Reisman, Yale Law School, US
