Publisher's Synopsis
In this analysis, Shelton calls for a unified international monetary regime-a new Bretton Woods-to lay the foundation for worldwide stability and prosperity in the post-Cold War era.
Despite worldwide rhetoric about free trade and the global economy, the leading economic powers have done little to address the most insidious form of protectionism-the inherently unstable international monetary system.
In outlining steps toward a new world monetary structure, Judy Shelton elevates the needs of individual producers-who actually create wealth in the global economy-over the programs of governments.
