When Things Don't Fall Apart

"When Things Don't Fall Apart" is a thought-provoking book that challenges the dominant view of the global financial crisis. Ilene Grabel argues that the crisis induced significant but inconsistent changes in global financial governance and developmental finance, leading to a more productive, complex, and pluripolar global financial landscape. Drawing on key theoretical commitments of Albert Hirschman, Grabel substantiates her claims with empirically rich case studies and explores the opportunities and risks associated with the evolutionary transformations underway.
