También Carmen M.Reinhart y Christoph Trebesch publicaron a fines del 2015 The International Monetary Fund: 70 Years of Reinvention, donde analizan su papel en las últimas 7 décadas. En el abstract exponen "A sketch of the
International Monetary Fund’s 70-year history reveals an institution that has
reinvented itself over time along multiple dimensions. This history is
primarily consistent with a “demand driven” theory of institutional change, as
the needs of its clients and the type of crisis changed substantially over
time. Some deceptively “new” IMF activities are not entirely new. Before
emerging market economies dominated IMF programs, advanced economies were its
earliest (and largest) clients through the 1970s. While currency problems were
the dominant trigger of IMF involvement in the earlier decades, banking crises
and sovereign defaults became they key focus since the 1980s. Around this time,
the IMF shifted from providing relatively brief (and comparatively modest)
balance-of-payments support in the era of fixed exchange rates to coping with
more chronic debt sustainability problems that emerged with force in the
developing nations and now migrated to advanced ones. As a consequence, the IMF
has engaged in “serial lending”, with programs often spanning decades.
Moreover, the institution faces a growing risk of lending into insolvency, most
widespread among low income countries in chronic arrears to the official
sector, but most evident in the case of Greece since 2010. We conclude that
these practices impair the IMF’s role as an international lender of last resort"
