Capital Account Liberalization

Abstract: A 6 page paper examining to what extent capital account liberalization is in response to the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. The financial systems devised at Bretton Woods ended in 1971, and the current global account liberalization is seen as resulting in part from the collapse of the Bretton Woods accords in that it seeks to replace it with another rather than operate without one at all. The paper describes the Bretton Woods system as well as today's approaches to controlling capital movement. Bibliography lists 8 sources in 20 footnotes.
