How can international monetary stability best be achieved? Through government intervention in setting exchange rates? Through greater international coordination of economic policy?
In papers presented at an AEI conference on the eve of the 1986 meeting of the IMF and the World Bank, the contributors review the collapse of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates, the historic 1985 agreement by the Group of Five, and the question of whether fixed or flexible exchange rates would best help stabilize the international monetary system.
John H. Makin is a resident scholar at AEI.
