Treść tej książki stanowi kompleksowy przegląd najważniejszych międzynarodowych instytucji finansowych. Zawiera w sobie ich genezę, fazy rozwoju, realizację celów statutowych, a także zaangażowanie w procesy transformowania gospodarek Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Na tym tle został pokazany udział Polski jako członka poszczególnych organizacji, względnie jako beneficjenta strumieni pomocy rozwojowej w okresie transformacji. Książka ukazuje w sposób kompleksowy elementy infrastruktury stosunków ekonomicznych, z których funkcji i środków ekonomicznych korzystały także transformowane gospodarki Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej. Książka stanowi cenną skarbnicę wiedzy dla wszystkich pragnących zrozumieć funkcjonowanie wielkich międzynarodowych instytucji finansowych, a także udział tych instytucji w procesach reformowania gospodarek, również i gospodarki polskiej.
