José De Gregorio, Barry Eichengreen, Takatoshi Ito, Charles Wyplosz interviewed by Tim Phillips, 11 September 2018

Tim Phillips talks to Barry Eichengreen, Charles Wyplosz, José De Gregorio, and Takatoshi Ito about how the IMF has evolved, and the threats both to the IMF and the entire multilateral financial system.
