Dollar history
In 1792, the US dollar formed a currency area in 13 colony. At that time, the United States was only a country with a population of 4 million. By the end of 19, it has become the most powerful country in the world. By the time the First World War broke out in 19 14, the economic aggregate of the United States was already larger than that of the other three largest countries: Britain, Germany, France, and even the sum of them, which made the status of the US dollar increasingly prominent.
During World War I, gold from European countries flowed into the United States to buy war materials. The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States used these gold as legal tender, which led to inflation. From 19 14 to 1920, the price level in the United States nearly doubled. Later, the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States decided to control inflation and tried to restore the price to its original level.
Then came the period of deflation, when the price level dropped from 200 to 1920 in one year, which was the biggest deflation in American history. Although the 35 years of the gold standard system is the "golden age" for the prosperity of liberal capitalism, the fixed exchange rate system has the advantages of ensuring the safety of international trade and credit, facilitating the accounting of production costs and avoiding international investment risks.
To some extent, it has promoted the development of international trade and investment. However, the strict fixed exchange rate system makes it difficult for countries to implement favorable monetary policies according to their own economic development needs, which greatly restricts economic growth. During World War II, the international monetary system became more chaotic.
In order to solve this chaotic situation, 1943, US Treasury official White and British Treasury consultant Keynes designed the post-war international monetary and financial system from their own interests, and put forward two different schemes, namely "White Scheme" and "Keynes Scheme".
