Sommario/riassunto

As a businessman, financier, diplomat, minister, and first Managing Director of the IMF, Camille Gutt (1884-1971) was involved in all the important financial negotiations between the 1920s and the 1950s. Using Gutt's personal archives as his starting point, Crombois examines the rise and fall of financial diplomacy as a largely private enterprise.
