Global Imbalances and the Lessons of Bretton Woods

Focuses on the issue that international financial system is analogous to the Bretton Woods System of 1958 to 1973. This book argues that the power of historical analogy lies not just in finding parallels but in highlighting differences. It also looks at the Gold Pool, a mechanism by which European central banks sought to support the dollar.
