The System Worked

In The System Worked, political scientist Daniel W. Drezner explores the effectiveness of international institutions in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Contrary to widespread perceptions of failure and corruption, Drezner argues that these global governance structures successfully coordinated a response to prevent a full-scale depression. Through an analysis of the actions taken by the G-20, IMF, WTO, and other entities, he highlights their role in the remarkable recovery of the global economy, challenging the prevailing narrative that has overshadowed their achievements. This audiobook serves as a critical examination of multilateral economic institutions amidst a crisis that deeply impacted many nations.
