| Summary |
To discuss the US financial crisis (2008) that has engulfed the whole world and therefore requires synchronised coordinated global action, the US President George Bush invited the leaders of the G20 - comprising both industrialised and emerging nations - to a meeting in Washington to be held on November 15th 2008. The British Premier Gordon Brown and the French President Nicholas Sarkozy and many others have seized the opportunity to call for a rerun of Bretton Woods - the Bretton Woods II - to fashion a consensual international financial architecture to prevent any replay of the global financial crisis. It is presumed that at the deep bottom of the US originated worldwide financial turmoil, there lies the international monetary disorder that has kept on snowballing since August 15th 1971, when the first Bretton Woods system, tied to gold-convertible dollar, was brought to an abrupt close |
