Examining the Efficient Market Hypothesis, Overcoming its Effects
[ send me this paper ]

[ send me this paper ]

That the Bretton Woods system provided for the adjustable-peg exchange-rate to uphold an indirect connection with gold did not influence its eventual failure due to "inadequate policy tools and theory" (Bordo, no date), a lethal combination that would at last be instrumental in creating managed float and the 1970's Great Inflation.
