Overview
This meeting, which was programmed to take place right before the G7 summit in Halifax, focused on the question of how to adapt the Bretton Woods institutions to the 21st century. No one expected that the Mexican crisis would raise fundamental questions about the role of the IMF with respect to capital account crises versus current account crises. George Soros, Arminio Fraga, Carmen Reinhart among others joined us for this second seminar where we also focused on laying out the arguments for an international bankruptcy court to resolve sovereign debt crisis.
