Susan Strange (1923-1998) was a leading academic in the field of international relations and international political economy. She is the author of Casino Capitalism (1986) and Mad Money: When Markets Outgrow Governments (1998).
Susan Strange has long been one the most innovative scholars working in the broad field of international relations. In this book she once again shows that her reputation for careful analysis and fresh insights is well deserved... a refreshing look at a much studied subject and should be read by every student of international political economy. International Relations Theory Students, and many of their teachers, will like the book because it give a vigorous introduction to both the subject matter of IPE and the holistic cast of mind necessary for understanding it. One cannot read the book without having one's horizons broadened... it should occupy and opening slot on reading lists for IPE courses. International Affairs
