OverviewThe international monetary system has changed radically between 1980 and 1999. Capital, information, goods and services move around the globe with unprecedented ease. Countries from the former communist bloc have joined the system. Europe is on the verge of monetary union. Financial crises in East Asia and Mexico have rocked the world economy. In this book, Robert Solomon presents a history of these and other aspects of this revolution in international finance.
