Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the loan that defined the dollar-denominated economy of the second half of the 20th century and helped start the cold war. After WW2, the British economy had been devastated. The abrupt end of Lend-Lease by President Truman withdrew badly needed American support. Desperate British politicians sent Lord Maynard Keynes to Washington to seek an economic lifeline. The loan that resulted required the convertibility of the pound, the end of the imperial preference system that supported the Empire, and the entry of Britain into the Bretton-Woods institutions. This made the dollar the world's reserve currency, hastened the end of the British Empire, angered the Soviet Union (which wanted, but did not get, a similar loan), and laid the groundwork for the Marshall Plan which would immediately follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1941 and 1946, in response to the devastation caused by World War II, memories of the Great Depression, and the prospect of Soviet expansion, a group of politicians, diplomats, and economists in the United States and Great Britain sought to repair the ruined economies of of Europe and secure economic prosperity for America. Their program, which became known as multilateralism, called for reduced quotas on imports, lowered tariffs, the abandonment of currency exchange controls, and economic decision making by international bodies. Randall Woods explores this attempt to create an interdependent world economy and sets it against the broader political and strategic backdrop of the period. In the United States, multilateralism attracted New Deal liberals because it proposed to help not only the established economic interests but traditionally disadvantaged groups such as farmers and industrial workers as well. Moderate socialists in Britain also lent their support to a liberalized trading system, as did many conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic, believing that the program would preserve some degree of free enterprise in the international economy. Unfortunately for its disciples, Woods argues, multilateralism was so modified by the forces of isolationism and economic nationalism_and by bureaucratic politics in the United States_that it failed to achieve its economic and strategic goals. The international economy that emerged after World War II was not an equitable partnership and merely finalized the fifty-year process by which the United States supplanted Great Britain as the arbiter of Western Capitalism. In the end, modified multilateralism hampered rather than facilitated the free flow of goods and capital, and it did little to promote social democracy.

This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial diplomacy was vital to Britain during the Second World War. Over half the British war effort was sustained by US Lend-Lease assistance and Canadian Mutual Aid. In 1945 the country emerged victorious in the greatest war in history but economically drained. These contradictory circumstances faced the new Labour government. It was clear that economic adjustment to peacetime would require further American and Canadian finance. This book contains the diary of Frederic Harmer, aide to John Maynard Keynes during discussions in Washington that led to an American loan. It also includes the reports and evaluations from Washington of Robert Brand, head of the Treasury team at the British Embassy, the British debates on how to secure US and Canadian financial assistance, the American loan talks in 1945 and the pursuit of a Canadian loan in 1946. These two sources vividly convey thinking about priorities and tactics in British financial diplomacy.
