O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Bretton Woods revisited, 70 years later: proceedings of the conference

Eu até recebi o convite para ir, mas no mesmo momento estava atravessando por uma segunda vez os Estados Unidos, e já tinha estado no New Hampshire duas vezes, para ver os locais da conferência.
Aqui estão as transcrições do evento.
Permito-me informar que preparei um artigo: “O FMI e o Brasil:  encontros e desencontros em 70 anos de história” (Hartford, 30 julho 2014, 24 p.) que traça um itinerário histórico do FMI, desde Bretton Woods, e segue os acordos feitos pelo Brasil, com ênfase nas diferentes fases das políticas econômicas. Foi encaminhado para número especial da revista FGV-Direito, sob o título de “O Brasil e o FMI desde Bretton Woods: 70 anos de História”. 
Paulo Roberto de Almeida

The Center for Financial Stability (CFS) is grateful to many speakers and delegates for the success of the working conference
"Bretton Woods 2014: The Founders and the Future."

Delegates actively focused on the future of finance and the international monetary system to contemplate policies to foster global financial stability, growth, and cooperation.  We also honored and rested on the vision and leadership demonstrated 70 years ago at the historic Mount Washington Hotel.  Honorary Committee member Randy Quarles captured the spirit of the discussions by invoking an old Greek proverb:

"Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
