The book prompted an urgent search in economic policy circles for cogent explanations. It begins by laying the groundwork for a new approach to these issues. In the theoretical chapters that follow, he argues that financial crisis theory regarding emerging markets has progressed from focusing on such variables as fiscal deficits, debt sustainability, and real currency devaluation to stressing the role of the financial sector -- emphasizing stocks rather than flows as well as the role credibility plays in containing financial crises. It focuses on exchange-rate issues, considering the advantages and disadvantages of flexible exchange rates for emerging market economies
