The August 26 issue of The Weekly Standard<\/a> carries my review of this new book. It is very smartly written—Steil has a flair for making the abstruse interesting. That said, it is not for the casual student of economics.<\/p>\n

Appropo of a Princeton University Press book, The Battle of Bretton Woods<\/a>\u00a0carries loads of heady discussions about\u00a0\u00a0balance of payments, exchange rates, supranational currency, monetary reform, and tariffs. I enjoyed its depcition of power politics in all its complexity and confusion.<\/p>\n
