| Summary |
"This book studies the ideas of some of the most innovative economists in the mid-twentieth century including three Nobel Laureates. These great thinkers helped shape the international financial system and the role of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. This book covers the period from the late 1940s up to the collapse of the fixed US dollar-gold link in 1971." "This book will prove invaluable to students of international economics, international finance, economic history and the history of economic thought."--BOOK JACKET |
