Revue de presse: 'With the same urbane charm that he displayed in his tour de force on twentieth century central bankers, Lords of Finance, Liaquat Ahamed now takes us on a witty, insightful journey into the heart - and the soul of the 21st century's most improbable financial institution, the International Monetary Fund.' - --Roger Lowenstein, author of "When Genius Failed"

'The second in the Visual Editions publishing roster, the book is liberally illustrated with Eli Reed's photo-journalism. The pictures burnish the sense of reportage... His gentle prose reads easily, even in some of the more technical sections, and the book is short enough to finish within a couple of hours. What he set out to do is humanise a faceless institution, of which he is rather fond, and teach a little economic history along the way. As such, it s a good introduction to the IMF.' - The Times

'A refreshingly non-jargonised observation of an enormously powerful institution that very few understand. Posing as the lay reader s ingenuous ally, even Ahamed pretends not to fathom the IMF although we know that he does really (how else could you fall in love there?)... Ahamed brings life to an institution that is too often deadened with jargon.' - Financial Times

'Ahamed is gifted at walking us through the facts and figures of financial crises.' - --The Sunday Telegraph
