The book is dedicated to the most important event in modern financial history - the international conference in Bretton Woods (USA) in 1944. The Second World War was still in full swing, and the decisions of the conference already consolidated its results in the field of world finance. In Bretton Woods, the foundations of the international gold and dollar standard were laid. This monetary and financial order became the foundation on which, during a number of international conferences, later, in 1945, the world political order was laid.
