Failsafe finance?

Dani Rodrik agrees that the IMF is changed, but does not agree that the Fund is now a true lender of last resort. 

Mr. Rodrik's call for stronger national regulation is, in my eyes, (somewhat) correct. Context requires nuanced solutions beyond those that a blueprint framework can provide: this applies from everything from finance to film. His skepticism is healthy, but I remain more hopeful than he that these reforms are at least a step in the right direction. International finance may not be safe, but was it before this mess?
