Synopsis

The evolution of the international monetary system is not isolated. It is deeply affected by the changes in international politics and economics. If you want to deeply understand the causes of the evolution of the international monetary system, you must be based on the specific situation at that time, and this is the feature of this book. This book concisely yet vividly combs through the remarkable and important events in international monetary and financial history over the past 150 years, from the classical gold standard to today's post-Bretton Woods "non-system" system, as well as the Greek emergency aid, the Euro crisis, etc.

Reader comments

This book is very good! It tells the history of the international monetary system and combines various important events, giving me a deeper understanding of currency and finance. Just like after I got married, I understood that family finance also needs to take into account various factors. And the author, Barry Eichengreen, is amazing at making such complex content so concise and easy to understand. I think this book is not only suitable for economics students, but also for people like me who are interested in finance. Recommended!
