This is not the book to read if you want to better understand the arguments for and against free-floating currencies, or the causes of inflation and depression. It is, however, a fascinating and for the most part well-executed case study of how some important economic decisions were made.
A densely detailed and highly charged account of the Nixon administration’s abandonment of the gold standard.
Garten vividly sketches the personalities behind the policy [...] and the political optics that preoccupied them. Garten’s lucid, easy-to-grasp exposition focuses on international turmoil in exchange rates and trade.
