A solid introduction to the power of bond rating agencies,
This review is from: The New Masters of Capital: American Bond Rating Agencies and the Politics of Creditworthiness (Cornell Studies in Political Economy) (Hardcover)
Few writers have closely examined the work of bond rating agencies - even though their decisions can move markets, open or close the doors to capital, and even bring down governments. Timothy J. Sinclair manages to keep his prose relatively accessible, despite his many references to research that could only appeal to academics. Although his detailed analysis of various sociological characterizations of agency power may be of little interest to the general reader, we believe that his main point - rating agencies exercise power and influence well beyond the bond markets - deserves careful consideration by anyone interested in economics, finance, politics or the issue of globalization.
