Books about Financial Globalization

If you haven't read Federal Reserve Governor Mishkin's speech at the Weissman Center Distinguished Lecture Series (blogged by Rita yesterday) he makes a good case for why rich countries should support financial globalization. He mentions several books that make the case, for and against, his thesis. All the books are in our collection.
