By the time this essay on the International Monetary Fund will be released twenty years will have passed since the United Nations
Monetary and Financial Conference met in Bretton Woods in a quiet New England resort hotel from July 1 to July 22, 1944, to agree on the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund and of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Conference, it will be recalled, was convened at a juncture of the Second World War when the fighting in Europe had been stepped up decisively and when hostilities in Asia and certain parts of Africa were still carried on by the opposing belligerents with fierce determination on many fronts.
