N2  - "This... book provides an authoritative, up-to-the-minute account of the origins, reasons and repercussions of the debt crisis. It considers why commercial banks as the major creditors were so eager to channel huge amounts of money into the Third World. If creditors of commercial banks fear heavy losses, they will be tempted to withdraw their deposits thus striking at the heart of the credit pyramid at the centre of the financial system." -- From the dust jacket
