Abstract

Although — as mentioned in the Preface — a detailed description of the international monetary system in the period after the Second World War is outside the scope of the present work, a very brief treatment of the key events is necessary to provide the minimum amount of information necessary to set the theoretical problems against their institutional and historical background (for detailed treatment we refer the reader, e.g., to Triffin, 1968; Meier, 1982; Solomon, 1982; Scammell, 1983; Tew, 1982; Grubel, 1984; Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, 1984).
