Dust jacket has some wear, soiling, tears, chips and scuffs. Written by the former Federal Reserve Board's top international economist. An unique blend of history, memoir, and analysis which intimately portrays the colorful negotiators working on a new monetary order. Robert Solomon, a former chief international economist for the Federal Reserve Board who was a leader in efforts in the 1960s to salvage and reform the long-prevailing international monetary system that linked major global currencies to gold. Dr. Solomon, who participated in bombing missions over Japan as a navigator in World War II and later earned a doctorate in economics from Harvard, rose through the hierarchy at the Federal Reserve from 1947 to 1976. He became director of the Fed's international finance division and an adviser to the board of governors. He was also vice chairman of the "Committee of 20" nations negotiating world monetary reform in the early 1970s. Dr. Solomon was involved in international negotiations to preserve the Bretton Woods system. He favored reforms such as greater exchange-rate flexibility and greater responsibility on countries that have surpluses in trade either to reduce exports or increase imports. Dr. Solomon wrote a well-received book that in part focused on his work trying to preserve the Bretton Woods monetary management system. Hobart Rowen once described the book as "an authoritative text on the final demise of Bretton Woods in a rapid series of monetary crises. Derived from a Kirkus review: An authoritative perspective on the complex of currency arrangements and financial institutions established after WW II to facilitate the conduct of business across national boundaries. Essentially an entente, the international monetary system (IMS) exists in part to guarantee the mutual convertibility of US dollars, Mexican pesos, Dutch guilders, Swiss francs, and other currencies. It has three principal management objectives: assuring settlement of accounts among countries that are trading partners; financing payment imbalances by the use of credit or reserves; and providing reserve assets to stimulate import/export activity. Solomon, senior staff economist at the Federal Reserve Board, details how the IMS can work to reconcile the often divergent interests of 100-odd members that find themselves increasingly interdependent in economic and financial terms. Beginning with the 1944 Bretton Woods pact that produced the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, he traces the evolution of the adaptive IMS, in the process reviewing such key matters as two dollar devaluations, the petrodollar muscle of OPEC, the often inconvenient strength displayed by Germany's mark as well as Japan's yen, and the perennial problems of Great Britain's pound. While international monetary affairs are normally perceived as technical if not arcane, Solomon engagingly relates the important events of his chronology to the workaday concerns of consumers, workers, investors, and tourists, in addition to business firms and sovereign governments seeking to cope with inconstant business conditions. All told, a considerable achievement. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
