Summary

"This study examines the international monetary system in retrospect and in prospect from a Canadian perspective. Chapter I discusses the central economic characteristices that constitute an international monetary system...The second chapter traces the historical dimensions by reviewing the changing constitution of the international monetary system from the end of the nineteenth century gold standard in 1914 to the termination of gold's long-standig role in international payments in 1973. Chapter III chronicles the history of the contemporary international monetary system over the last decade. Chapter IV shifts from a retrospective approach to outline the problems for corporate financial management that arise within the contemporary monetary system. Chapter V addresses the problems created for national economic policy by the current international monetary system. Chapter VI concludes the study by reviewing the prospective future evolution of the international monetary system in light of the problems identified in the two preceding chapters.--Foreword.
