Brettonwoodský mezinárodní měnový systém: Příčiny a dopad zániku
This thesis concerns with the identification of underlying causes of the Bretton Woods international monetary system formation and dissolution. The twentieth century proved to be the most disruptive era in the history of financial markets. After the events of the World War II, a viable framework for the facilitation of international trade was a major priority. The Bretton Woods conference of 1944 established this framework and marked the future of economic development. After more than 20 years of operation, the Bretton Woods sys-tem was dissolved following the events of the 1971 Nixon Shock. This work addresses the events preceding the formation of Bretton Woods, the subsequent operations of the IMF and the key causes of the Bretton Woods demise.
