Extract

The present time might not seem to be a very propitious one to discuss international monetary relations with the object of obtaining new insights as to how to achieve a New International Economic Order. A stream of articles and pamphlets has been published or is forthcoming with titles such as: An International Monetary Nonsystem, Alternatives to Monetary Disorder. The Failure of Monetary Reform. This by itself is an indication that all is not well in the esoteric world of international finance.
