The Bretton Woods Transcripts

摘要

The famous Bretton Woods Conference was held in New Hampshire in July 1944 and attended by representatives from forty-four nations with the objective and the result of designing an international monetary and financial system for the post-World War II era. "Bretton Woods," like the Marshall Plan, has become a metaphor for a major international success, in this case resulting from a formal conference. There have been many calls for a "new Bretton Woods" since then, most recently in 2011 by President Sarkozy of France, to revamp or at least to improve the international monetary system.
