Summary: This book provides a view of U.S. domestic and foreign affairs and the role of the dollar within this broad setting. Ways of maintaining the strength of the dollar and an acceptable balance-of-payments position which include foreign aid to underdeveloped areas abroad, the U.S. money and capital markets, domestic unemployment, growth and price stability. The book is divided into five major parts. Part I, "Financial Policy and Foreign Relations," presents a general background to the subject matter, indicating America's increasing and irreversible involvement in world financial affairs. Part II, "The Strength of the Dollar," focuses attention on the nature of the external deficit as related to various components of the balance of payments. Part III, '"The Dollar as International Money," considers the role and problems of the dollar as a key currency, as well as current proposals for strengthening the international monetary order. The credit function of the dollar is analyzed in Part IV, "The United States as an International Capital Market." As the major financial center of the world, the United States is restricted in its possible action to alleviate the balance-of-payments deficit. In Part V, "The Outlook for American Foreign Financial Policy," the author integrates the many facets of U.S. foreign financial involvements in an effort to suggest policy measures within a broad frame of reference.
