Complementing earlier works that emphasize international political and economic factors, Joanne Gowa's book examines the ways in which domestic influences contributed to this crucial action. In Closing the Gold Window, she argues that the mid-1971 decision was the consequence, in part, of the high priority Nixon administration officials assigned to maintaining U.S. freedom of action at home and abroad. She also maintains that the organization of the U.S. government for the conduct of international monetary policy played a role in the decision that ended the Bretton Woods regime. 410 0$aCornell studies in political economy. 606 $aGold standard 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$xCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1969-1974 615 0$aGold standard. 676 $a332.4222 700 $aGowa$b Joanne S.$01034568 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821136103321 996 $aClosing the gold window$94025141 997 $aUNINA
