Why the current Bretton Woods-like international financial system, featurin g large current account deficits in the center country, the United States, and massive reserve accumulation by the periphery, is not sustainable. In Global Imbalances and the Lessons of Bretton Woods, Barry Eichengreen ta kes issue with the argument that today's international financial system is largely analogous to the Bretton Woods System of the period 1958 to 1973. T hen, as now, it has been argued, the United States ran balance of payment d eficits, provided international reserves to other countries, and acted as e xport market of last resort for the rest of the world. Then, as now, the st ory continues, other countries were reluctant to revalue their currencies f or fear of seeing their export-led growth slow and suffering capital losses on their foreign reserves. Eichengreen argues in response that the power o f historical analogy lies not just in finding parallels but in highlighting differences, and he finds important differences in the structure of the wo rld economy today.

Welcome to the worst decade since the Great Depression. Trillions of dollar s of financial assets and shareholder value destroyed; worldwide GDP stalle d; new jobs vanishingly scarce. But this isn't just a severe recession. It' s evidence that our economic institutions are obsolete-a set of ideas inher ited from the industrial age that no longer work for business, people, soci ety, or the future. In The New Capitalist Manifesto, economic strategist Umair Haque argues tha t business as usual has outgrown the old paradigm of short-term growth, com petition at all costs, adversarial strategy, and pushing costs onto future generations. These outworn assumptions are good for creating only "thin" va lue-gains that are largely illusory and produce diminishing returns every y ear. For "thick" value-enduring, meaningful, sustainable advantage that deeply b enefits the larger society-Haque details five new cornerstones of prosperit y in the twenty-first century: ?Loss advantage: From value chains to value cycles ?Responsiveness: From value propositions to value conversations ?Resilience: From strategy to philosophy ?Creativity: From protecting a marketplace to completing a marketplace ?Difference: From goods to betters The New Capitalist Manifesto makes a passionate, razor-sharp economic case that these methods will produce a more enduring prosperity for business as well as society.
