The document summarizes Martin Wolf's lecture on the failures of global finance and capital flows that have led to emerging market crises. Some key points: 1. Financial liberalization in emerging markets led to excessive risk-taking and poor regulation, fueling credit growth and asset bubbles. 2. Macroeconomic imbalances like fiscal deficits and currency pegs exacerbated risks. Currency crises then triggered financial crises as foreign debt overwhelmed many countries and companies. 3. Major crises included the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s, the Mexican "Tequila" crisis of 1994-95, the Asian Financial crisis of 1997-98, and the Argentine crisis of 2001-02.
