| Summary |
This book brings together the papers presented at a special conference of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Bretton Woods conference. The papers, from a number of distinguished speakers, assess the background to and the results of the Bretton Woods agreements. Discussion is focused around the critical assessment of the Keynes and White plans by Michał Kalecki, and the consequences of this for present-day international economics and international monetary and financial policy. But this volume is unique in bringing together the critical assessments, virtually unknown today, that were made at the time, by Kalecki, Fritz Schumacher, Thomas Balogh, and Raul Prebisch, together with critical assessments of the work of the Bretton Woods institutions since that time |
