With original archival documents and interviews from the US and
Europe, Michelle Frasher brings the reader into the negotiating
room with American, German, and French officials as they confronted
the collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system and made
decisions that affected the course of European integration and the
contemporary neoliberal order. She identifies crisis as the
catalyst for change in international monetary policies, but argues
that the causes of crisis originated from a multitude of factors
such as market speculation, American hegemony, institutional flaws,
and ideational conflicts among the leaders themselves. Far from a
planned and consensual process, this book shows that the
transformation to neoliberalism was riddled with discord and fret
with trial and error. She argues that the resulting currency regime
allowed governments to entrench themselves in national interests
and facilitated the "marketization" of the state, where states have
became both clients and participants in the financialized global
economy-to the detriment of international stability. Frasher's is
the first work to connect the 1960s and 1970s to the difficulties
of inter-state and inter-market cooperation that have plagued the
system in the last decades, and it puts the 2008 debacle into
historical perspective.
