Exchange Rate Chaos: Twenty-five Years of Finance and Consumer Democracy provides a much needed financial history of the US and UK in the post-war period. The author describes and compares developments in the financial markets and institutions of the two countries since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971. A number of striking issues arise: the similarities between the two systems and the forces that have shaped them; the decline of the small investor and the supremacy of financial institutions; how the floating exchange rates can be manipulated by governments to their advantage; and potential threats to US and UK financial systems. In particular, the author examines the rise of the consumer democracy and its financial, political and social impact
Content:
This book is one of the first to look at financial developments in this period and to put them in their social and political context. As such, it will be a valuable guide for all those who are interested in the financial and economic history of the late twentieth century
