When turmoil strikes world monetary and financial markets, leaders invariably call for "a new Bretton Woods" to prevent catastrophic economic disorder and defuse political conflict. The name of the remote New Hampshire town where representatives of 44 nations gathered in July 1944, in the midst of the century's second great war, has become shorthand for enlightened globalization. The actual story surrounding the historic Bretton Woods accords, however, is full of startling drama, intrigue, and rivalry, which are vividly brought to life in Benn Steil's epic account.
Upending the conventional wisdom that Bretton Woods was the product of an amiable Anglo-American collaboration, Steil shows that it was in reality part of a much more ambitious geopolitical agenda hatched within President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Treasury and aimed at eliminating Britain as an economic and political rival. At the heart of the drama were the antipodal characters of John Maynard Keynes, the renowned and revolutionary British economist, and Harry Dexter White, the dogged, self-made American technocrat. Bringing to bear new and striking archival evidence, Steil offers the most compelling portrait yet of the complex and controversial figure of White—the architect of the dollar's privileged place in the Bretton Woods monetary system, who also, very privately, admired Soviet economic planning and engaged in clandestine communications with Soviet intelligence officials and agents over many years.
A remarkably deft work of storytelling that reveals how the blueprint for the postwar economic order was actually drawn, The Battle of Bretton Woods is destined to become a classic of economic and political history.
1. 太多的历史细节,我并不感兴趣; 2. 对凯恩斯印象更差了, 3.布雷顿体系真的是要放在美国取代英国成为世界霸主的历史背景下看待; 4.如果能浓缩成100页内的书就更好了.

评分这本书更像一本历史叙述书。作者虽然尝试解释布雷顿体系背后的经济学理由,但次次都是浅涉即止。作者似乎更愿意从国家和国家利益的角度来解释两位经济学家的计划不同处。这种做法长于解释地缘政治格局和历史环境,短于经济学解释。因此我说这本书是历史叙述,而非经济史,也不是经济思想史。那么作者的叙述的精彩么?不精彩。这本书的不精彩原因是历史资料的大量引用和作者的述而不评;只有最后一章尾声有大量的评论,这最后一章像时评。作者的意图或许是想将这历史事件客观地展现给读者。因此从这个角度说,这本书写的不错。
