520 _aIn a rather informal autobiographical style, the author offers a perspective on the international monetary situation during the years 1960-1975. He deals with a number of critical incidents and provides a most valuable resource, a "hands-on" report. He combines history, memoir and economic analysis to provide a vivid inside view that is probably unique in the literature of central banking. Basically discreet, the book is also very critical of the methods and policies that led to the "unnecessary degradation of the dollar."
