Center for Latin American Studies, UC Berkeley Professor Barry Eichengreen of the Department of Economics describes the prospects for an American free trade agreement covering both North and South America, and both the monetary systemic prerequisites for such an agreement and the consequences of it. Professor Eichengreen’s illuminating presentation warned of the futility of attempting in Latin America international monetary schemes that are doomed to failure such as exchange rate coordination systems or a common currency. Professor Eichengreen argued that the European Union's experience in monetary unification is not truly applicable to the Americas, and that given the domestic political forces in the United States and other American countries, monetary union is unlikely. socrates.berkeley.edu:7001 /Events/fall2002/11-25-02-Eichengreen   (265 words)

eichengreen Eichengreen thinks Temin fails to give an explanation of consumer spending, therefore his theory cannot be trusted. Eichengreen argues the demand for gold by the U.S. and France would have contributed more to the global reserve severity than did liquidation of the gold exchange standard. In the end, Eichengreen would conclude, in his own opinion, that the policies of the major central banks and the priority to preserve gold, must take the responsibility for the depth and severity of the Great Depression. www.louisville.edu /~cafiel02/eichengreen.html   (591 words)

Review of Toward a New Financial Architecture by Barry Eichengreen Barry Eichengreen’s Toward a New Financial Architecture: A Practical Post-Asia Agenda, falls under the capital liberating category, although his recommendations may further be described as "progressively market-based". Eichengreen’s third, market-based alternative, is to force international investors to "take a hit" by agreeing to restructure loan payments with the banks and governments in crisis. Eichengreen’s practicality is again called into question here, not only because he is suggesting that national accounting practices be changed, but also because he is suggesting that many governments simultaneously adopt the same practices. www.carleton.ca /e-merge/v1_br/v1_par1.html   (1592 words)

Last check: 2007-10-25) Eichengreen shows how economic policies, in conjunction with the imbalances created by World War I, gave rise to the global crisis of the 1930s. Barry Eichengreen's classic tale of financial hubris and mismanagement is almost ten years old. After that, Eichengreen goes on a tour of the interwar years and aims to show why the collapse of the gold standard and the plunge into depression had nothing to do with the US stock market and everything to do with rivalries and mismanagment on an international scale. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0195101138?v=glance   (1642 words)

Eichengreen, B.: Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System. Now Barry Eichengreen presents a brief, lucid book that tells the story of the international financial system over the past 150 years. Eichengreen's work demonstrates that insights into the international monetary system and effective principles for governing it can result only if it is seen a historical phenomenon extending from the gold standard period to interwar instability, then to Bretton Woods, and finally to the post-1973 period of fluctuating currencies. Eichengreen analyzes the shift from pegged to floating exchange rates in the 1970s and ascribes that change to the growing capital mobility that has made pegged rates difficult to maintain. pup.princeton.edu /titles/5915.html   (463 words)

Notes: Globalizing Capital In a succinct, straightforward style, Barry Eichengreen tells the story of the evolution of the modern-day international monetary system. Eichengreen assumes you know what the Bretton Woods system was in general, and he also assumes that adjustable pegs will be understood by a very brief description. Eichengreen sees that the international financial system is still evolving (the floating of the Brazilian real last week proves him correct), and he sees further instability ahead. www.garretwilson.com /books/globalizingcapital.html   (1780 words)

Gold standard - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article The need for cheap agricultural imports, in turn, further pressured states to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers, so as to be able to exchange with the industrial nations for capital goods, such as factory machinery, which were needed to industrialize in turn. Another fundamental disagreement was the role of tariffs in the collapse of the gold standard, with the liberal government of the United States taking the position that the actions of the previous American Administration had exacerbated the crisis by raising tariff barriers. In the years that followed nations pursued bilateral trading agreements, and by 1935, the economic policies of most Western nations were increasingly dominated by the growing realization that a global conflict was highly likely, or even inevitable. www.startsurfing.com /encyclopedia/g/o/l/Gold_standard.html   (7237 words)

Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: Brad Setser Likes Barry Eichengreen Barry Eichengreen is right and there will be a significant turn in the dollar in time and there needs to be more expansionary economic policy domestically in China, imagine adding to growth in China, and in India and Japan and Korea. Barry E: "The best way for China and other East Asian countries that export to the United States to meet this deceleration in U.S. absorption growth would be by loosening fiscal policy (increasing spending on social security, health care, education, rural infrastructure and the like) and thus stimulating demand at home." When we can't eat as much fish as we want (no, it turns out that too much isn't good for you due to mercury accumulation caused by Chinese coal consumption), I think it's time for us to start thinking about global externalities. delong.typepad.com /sdj/2006/03/brad_setser_lik.html   (680 words)
