"This is the fourth edition of Professor Tew's "Evolution of the International Monetary System, 1945-1977" -- itself a greatly revised verion of his "International Monetary Cooperation," which has been the classic textbook for international economics throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Like its predecessor, the present work is intended for the serious student starting from scratch and provides all the necessary background on the international monetary arrangements which have been operated by the central banks and treasures of the non-communist countries since the war. Particular emphasis is given to the way in which their policies are co-ordinated, whether by market mechanisms, by international negotiation, or through international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the European Monetary System."
