  • The future role of the IMF and World Bank;
  • History and leadership at Bretton Woods in 1944.
The 1944 conference was famous for developing new rules for the international financial system and creating two institutions at the core of the system to this day – the IMF and World Bank. Previously unpublished transcripts of the original conference were found, edited, and published by CFS in 2012.
