Excellent topic OP.

Globalization and The Welfare State by Ramesh Mishra

More on the political-economy side; excellent and very informative.  Specifically, I liked the book because it discusses across three different counties the many affects of [financial] globalization: trade/investment flows, interest rates, fiscal policies, liberalization policies, labor policy and the changing social demands.  Don't let the 152 pages fool you, it's perhaps the most densely packed book I've come across.

The Asian financial crisis: crisis, reform and recovery by Shalendra D. Sharma

On the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.  It's definitive.  Liked it because of the topics: debt crsis, exchange rates, trade policy, dangers of currency pegs and interest rate fluctuations, austerity.  It's very...prescient.  Extremely relevant now.
