Briefly, inwards the skilful onetime days, the International Monetary Fund was solidly for the Postwar Order that viewed majuscule restricitons -- laws stopping people from investing inwards a province or taking their investments out -- were bad things in addition to to last avoided at all times.
That changed, in addition to the novel view, every bit summarized compactly past times John Taylor, is much to a greater extent than friendly toward "capital menses management":
My obvious thought, is merely how much would Argentina's problems last solved past times more capital menses management, currency restrictions, investment restrictions, financial stimulus in addition to and so forth. And whether the IMF, if it rides to the rescue, volition advise to a greater extent than such dirigisme for its bailout money. The onetime International Monetary Fund sentiment -- commit to openness, educate your budget problems, in addition to a somewhat jaundiced sentiment of the powerfulness of fifty-fifty good intentioned fundamental bankers to execute masterstrokes of technocratic "management" -- mightiness accept something to become for it still.
(It's worth remembering that majuscule cannot menses inwards aggregate. The entirely agency majuscule tin exit a province is on boats. You tin sell a mill to a local at a depression price, in addition to y'all tin sell the unusual currency for dollars at a depression price, but y'all cannot motion a mill in 1 lawsuit built in addition to person else has to purchase the unusual currency in addition to laissez passer on y'all dollars. Capital in addition to merchandise accounts must balance. Capital cannot menses inwards the brusk run. Prices tin change.
"Flow management" is 1 of those soothing NGO acronyms for what is inwards fact belongings seizure. You tin enjoin I'm non favorably predisposed)
