Product details
The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order
The Battle of Bretton Woods is a gripping tale of intrigue, drama, and rivalry that reveals the true story behind the historic Bretton Woods accords.
This epic account upends conventional wisdom by showing that the agreement was not the result of an amiable Anglo-American collaboration, but rather part of a larger geopolitical agenda aimed at eliminating Britain as an economic and political rival.
At the heart of the drama are two antipodal characters: John Maynard Keynes, the renowned British economist, and Harry Dexter White, the dogged American technocrat.
This book offers a compelling portrait of White, the architect of the dollar's privileged place in the Bretton Woods monetary system, who also admired Soviet economic planning and engaged in clandestine communications with Soviet intelligence officials over many years.
With new and striking archival evidence, Steil brings to light the complex and controversial figure of White, revealing how the blueprint for the postwar economic order was actually drawn.
This masterful work of storytelling is destined to become a classic of economic and political history.
