	Benjamin J. Cohen, Bretton Woods System
		The Bretton Woods system is commonly understood to refer to the international monetary regime that prevailed from the end of World War II until the early 1970s.
		The conference that gave birth to the system, held in the Amrican resort village of Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, was the culmination of some two and a half years of planning for postwar monetary reconstruction by the Treasuries of the United Kingdom and the United States.
		Though multilateral in formal design, therefore, the Bretton Woods system in practice quickly became synonymous with a hegemonic monetary regime centered on the dollar, much in the same manner as the classical gold standard of the nineteenth century had come to be centered on Britain's pound sterling.

	Wikinfo \| Bretton Woods system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The chief features of the Bretton Woods system were, first, an obligation for each country to maintain the exchange rate of its currency within a fixed value—plus or minus one percent—in terms of gold; and, secondly, the provision by the IMF of finance to bridge temporary payments imbalances.
		The political bases for the Bretton Woods system are to be found in the confluence of several key conditions: the shared experiences of the Great Depression, the concentration of power in a small number of states, and the presence of a dominant power willing and able to assume a leadership role.
		The planners at Bretton Woods hoped to avoid a repeat of the debacle of the 1930s, when exchange controls undermined the international payments system that was the basis for world trade.

	Bretton - Blessed John Bretton & Frances, his wife
		What this particular John Bretton had done to merit the recognition of this appointment is not known, but clearly either he or his family was, at that time, of some importance and must have had friends in some of the highest families in the country.
		John Bretton was executed at York on 1st April 1598 because of his faith, the culmination of many, many years of courage and steadfastness in the face of persecution, by both John Bretton and Frances, his wife.
		John Bretton appears to have been the only martyr who suffered under this particular Act and his conviction as a “felon” meant that the penalty was death by hanging only, without the “drawing and quartering” used in cases of High Treason.

	Bretton Woods: Birth and Breakdown - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		It was a shift away from the tacit, convention-based cooperation of central bankers to a sweeping, rule-based, multilateral cooperation of states.
		The era of flexible and floating exchange rates that followed the breakdown of the Bretton Woods exchange regime was not really a victory for the principle of national sovereignty as much as a triumph of US financial hegemony.
		The IMF that was born at Bretton Woods was probably as much as Keynes could have hoped for.

	Bretton - The American Brettons
		Little Bretton was explained as being the former “North Bretton” (of which we had never seen a mention) and it explained it as being in (near to) High Hoyland.
		The Brettons and the Beaumonts were branches of the same Bretton ancestors in the distant past and the Beaumonts and the Crosslands inter-married.
		Certainly a Bretton was involved in a deed of trust or “use” there from the Wentworths in the late 1400's and it is highly possible that they still retained some connection with it in the 1600's.

	Bretton Woods entry
		In July 1944, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, representatives of 44 nations met to establish the standards by which international trade and finance would be conducted once the Second World War had ended.
		Bretton Woods was certainly not the only reason for this "miracle," especially in light of the fact that not all of its provisions (in particular, the convertibility obligations) were in full force until 1958 and that the impact of U.S. policy, especially the Marshall Plan, was undoubtedly greater than that of the World Bank.
		Just as in Bretton Woods, events made it clear that fundamental disequilibria existed and that changes in either macroeconomic policies or pegged rates were necessary.

		By the late 1 960s, however, the Bretton Woods dream of a stable monetary system of fixed exchange rates with the US dollar as the only international currency was collapsing under the strain of US trade and budgetary deficits.
		And the Bretton Woods institutions themselves are coming under direct pressure from community activists and environmentalists calling for either their reform or outright abolition.

	Is the New Bretton Woods Conceivable? -- Address by Michel Camdessus
		In this age of sound bites, "Bretton Woods" has become almost synonymous with the fixed exchange rate system that prevailed from the time of the IMF's establishment until the abandonment of fixed rates in 1973.
		This constitutes a major step toward the Bretton Woods goal of eliminating "foreign exchange restrictions which hamper the growth of world trade." Moreover, with more than 60 IMF members having also eliminated controls on capital transactions, international capital movements have become much freer than the founders of the Bretton Woods system had thought possible.
		In this respect, to the extent that a "new" Bretton Woods is needed, it would be to re-establish the strong sense of purpose and determination that motivated the founders of the Bretton Woods system.

		The original Bretton Woods system came into being at a conference of 44 nations beginning on July 1, 1944, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, convened on the initiative of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
		After Roosevelt's death, unfortunately, his understanding of postwar economic policy was abandoned by successive Presidents (with the exception of John F. Kennedy), and the IMF and World Bank increasingly came to play the role of instruments of neo-colonial looting, on behalf of the British-based financier oligarchy.

		After 1958, the Bretton Woods system of freely convertible currencies at fixed exchange rates was fully operational.
