Fixing Global Finance by Martin Wolf

I have been reading Wolf´s columns and listening to his podcasts for sometime, and I have always liked his reasoning and his capacity to synthesize complex ideas within the constraints of a newspaper article. For this reason I bought and read this book as soon as I could, but my expectations were not fulfilled. He  makes interesting remarks but he does not provide what his title claims: I did not find any cure for our financial system. He makes one point very clear: the mess was caused by unprecedented and extreme global imbalances. The richest country, the US, was borrowing from some of the poorest, most ostensibly from China, because the Americans were saving too little, and the Chinese were saving too much.  

This is a good book, no doubt, perhaps a bit more modesty on the title would have made it even better.
