Download The Summit: Bretton Woods, 1944: J. M. Keynes and the Reshaping of the Global Economy AudioBook Free
The meeting of world leaders at Bretton Woods in 1944 was the only time countries from about the world decided to overhaul the structure of the international financial system. The machine they set up presided above the longest, strongest, & most stable amount of growth the world economy has ever before seen. At the center of the seminar was the love-hate relationship between the Briton John Maynard Keynes, the greatest economist of his day, and his American counterpart Harry Dexter White (later discovered to be moving information secretly to Russian spies). Both were intent on creating an economic settlement that would put right the wrongs of Versailles. Both were working to prevent another world warfare. But they were also working to defend their countries' national interests. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished accounts, diaries, and dental histories, this great audiobook identifies the seminar in stunning color and clarity. This is an extraordinary debut from a accomplished historian.
