Abstract
As described in Chapter 13, the broad outlines of the postwar international monetary system were conceived at the Bretton Woods conference. At this conference two multinational monetary agencies were created to be the institutions through which the reforms were to be carried out. No discussion of the international aspects of monetary arrangements would be complete without some description of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
