Title Great Transformations: A Polanyian Perspective on the Contemporary Global Financial Order
 
Creator Helleiner, Eric
 
Subject

 
Description Half a century after the Bretton Woods conference, the world has changed in ways that would be startling to those who met in 1944 to build the "constitution" for the postwar international financial order. Particularly striking is the new power and influence of global financial markets. Policy makers from the 1940s would find themselves lost in today's globally integrated financial marketplace where assets are traded in enormous volumes across borders on a twenty-four hour basis. Indeed, as is explained below, the Bretton Woods negotiators explicitly sought to prevent the kind of global financial order that has now emerged. How did the financial world change so dramatically? How durable is the new globalized financial order?
