Description

Explore the complex history of the British pound in The Decline of Sterling: Managing the Retreat of an International Currency, 1945-1992. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines why the demise of sterling as a global currency took thirty years to complete despite widespread predictions of its end after 1945. While traditional views suggest British efforts to maintain prestige or borrowing capacity drove this period, this book presents a different argument. It suggests that the international role of sterling was extended by the weakness of the global monetary system and a collective interest from the world in its continuation. This historical study provides a deep look into the economic history of the era through the use of Britain's archives.
