 | | The chief features of the Bretton Woods system were, first, an obligation for each country to maintain the exchange rate of its currency within a fixed value—plus or minus one percent—in terms of gold; and, secondly, the provision by the IMF of finance to bridge temporary payments imbalances. | | | Bretton Woods established a system of payments based on the dollar, in which all currencies were defined in relation to the dollar, itself convertible into gold, and above all, "as good as gold." The U.S. currency was now effectively the world currency, the standard to which every other currency was pegged. | | | The big question at the Bretton Woods Conference with respect to the institution that would emerge as the IMF was the issue of future access to international liquidity and whether that source should be akin to a world central bank able to create new reserves at will or a more limited borrowing mechanism. |

| | Benjamin J. Cohen, Bretton Woods System |
| | The Bretton Woods system is commonly understood to refer to the international monetary regime that prevailed from the end of World War II until the early 1970s. | | | Less obviously, Bretton Woods also provided evidence of the lasting effectiveness of regimes themselves even after shifts in the distribution of inter-state power associated with their origins or early operation. | | | The subsequent evolution of the Bretton Woods system may be read as the history of that implicit bargain. |

| | Bretton Woods Agreement (1944): historical context, economic impact and related links |
| | Under the Bretton Woods system, the IMF member countries agreed to a system of exchange rates that could be adjusted within defined parities with the U.S. dollar or, with the agreement of the IMF, changed to correct a fundamental disequilibrium in the balance of payments. | | | The delegates at Bretton Woods reached an agreement known as the Bretton Woods Agreement to establish a postwar international monetary system of convertible currencies, fixed exchange rates and free trade. | | | The Bretton Woods Agreement was also aimed at preventing currency competition and promoting monetary co-operation among nations. |

| | Moreover, the institutions of Bretton Woods were part of a planned global regulatory system for trade and finance. | | | The IMF Agreement that came out of Bretton Woods contained a scarce currency clause, which, as Keynes pointed out, "commits the US to finding a way out in the event of the balance of trade turning obstinately in its favour" (Moggeridge, p. | | | Keynes' letters and reports around the time of Bretton Woods do not discuss the coordination of tax policy between states. |

| | Bretton Woods entry |
| | In July 1944, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, representatives of 44 nations met to establish the standards by which international trade and finance would be conducted once the Second World War had ended. | | | For the developed countries, who continue to dominate trade and finance, the post Bretton Woods era has been a managed float within which currency prices are set primarily by market forces but central bank intervention still exists. | | | Just as in Bretton Woods, events made it clear that fundamental disequilibria existed and that changes in either macroeconomic policies or pegged rates were necessary. |

| | The Bretton Woods Agreement |
| | The Bretton Woods agreement resulted in a system of fixed exchange rates that reinstated the gold standard partly, fixing the US dollar at USD35/oz and fixing the other main currencies to the dollar - intended to be on a permanent basis. | | | The Bretton Woods Conference rejected John Maynard Keynes suggestion for a new world reserve currency in favor of a system built on the US dollar. | | | The Bretton Woods system came under increasing pressure as national economies moved in different directions during the sixties. |

| | By the late 1 960s, however, the Bretton Woods dream of a stable monetary system of fixed exchange rates with the US dollar as the only international currency was collapsing under the strain of US trade and budgetary deficits. | | | After 50 years the decisions reached at Bretton Woods need some fundamental rethinking. | | | Rallying in such organizations as the Non-Aligned Movement and the Group of 77, they created the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) where they argued for fairer terms of trade and more liberal terms for financing development. |

| | Bretton Woods was the site of the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 which has given its name to the Bretton Woods system and led to the establishment of both the World Bank and the IMF in 1946. | | | US Route 302 runs 28 miles (45 km) between the business areas of one through-road intersection and that of the next, with only a town of fewer than 3000, and areas like Bretton Woods or smaller, as concentrations of development between those intersections. | | | The "Base Road" from Bretton Woods is the preferred route to the low-altitude end of those tracks (the Base Station of the Cog), except in those winters when Mt. Clinton Road is instead the only plowed road to their intesection. |

| | Under the Bretton Woods system each participating state tied its currency to the US dollar and maintained dollar reserves, but was able to adjust its parity if its economy fell fundamentally out of alignment. | | | The Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944 shaped the world's post-war monetary order at a time when German defeat looked inevitable. | | | The weakening of the dollar in the early 1970s caused the system to collapse, to be replaced by floating currencies and by a series of European attempts to create an area of regional stability centred on the D-Mark. |
