Over seventy-five years ago, in the midst of World War II, delegates from 45 countries met in the New Hampshire town of Bretton Woods to define a global monetary system for the postwar world. Those arrangements have been challenged on many occasions, and yet their core premise—the U.S. dollar as the anchor currency for the world—remains very much alive today.
In this discussion to commemorate the launch of their new book, panelists will discuss the ups and downs of the Bretton Woods system and whether a new agreement is needed.
