Ideology and the international economy

by Robert Leeson

Cover of Ideology and the international economy

"In this book Robert Leeson examines the process by which Friedman's case for flexible exchange rates was transformed from heresy to academic consensus to become the linchpin of post- 1973 international monetary order. The primary focus is on the organisation and dissemination of the intellectual and political forces that undermined the authority of the IMF and the Bretton Woods system."--BOOK JACKET
