It also analyses the responses of the world economic powers to the Depression and how new monetary policies set the stage for the watershed post-World War II system established at Bretton Woods. It offers new theories of what effect the Great Depression had on the collapse of the world monetary system, and what effect the collapse had on deepening and prolonging the Depression, by exploring the link between global economic crisis and the the gold standard (the framework for international monetary affairs until 1931). The events described had a profound effect upon twentieth-century history: the Depression abetted the rise of Hitler and the demise of the gold standard is a historical cause of inflation.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 34mmItem Weight: 721gAuthor: Barry EichengreenGenre: Business & FinanceBook Series: NBER Series on Long-term Factors in Economic DevelopmentRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
