520 _aWhere does the truth lie? What really happens as Britain stumbles from one. financial crisis to another? Who has the power to make far-reaching financial decisions for us at international conferences? How did it all begin-and where will it end? Finance and World Power is a book on the financial policies of the world's major powers but it also discusses the political implications of the growth of centralized banking and credit systems, their use as instruments of policy, their involvement in international affairs and their capacity to change the balance of power. Above all, this is a book about power. Currency reform, gold, world trade, aid and development-all are unromantic economic terms, but they are major factors in the unceasing maneuvering for positions of power. No-one interested in the future of this country and the world can afford to miss this urgent, timely and provocative book.
