The Battle of Bretton Woods by Benn Steil is a work of economic and political history that examines the 1944 Bretton Woods conference, where the framework for the postwar international monetary system was created. Rather than treating the meeting as a simple example of Allied cooperation, the book argues that it was shaped by intense rivalry, especially between Britain and the United States, and by competing visions of how the global economy should be organized after World War II. Steil places John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White at the center of the story, using their contrasting personalities and policy goals to explain how the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the dollar-centered monetary order emerged. The book also links those negotiations to broader questions of power, sovereignty, and long-term monetary stability, making it both a historical narrative and an analysis of the system that followed from it.
