布雷顿森林体系
布列敦森林体系（英语：Bretton Woods system）是1944年7月至1973年间世界上大部分国家加入的以美元为作为国际货币中心的货币体系。。
布列敦森林协定对各国就货币的兑换、国际收支的调节、国际储备资产的构成等问题共同作出的安排所确定的规则、采取的措施及相应的组织机构形式的总和。该协定源自1944年7月，44个国家的代表在美国新罕布希尔州“布列敦森林公园”召开联合国和盟国货币金融会议，其会议称为“布列敦森林会议”。这次会议通过了《联合国货币金融协议最后决议书》、《国际货币基金组织协定》和《国际复兴开发银行协定》两个附件，总称《布列敦森林协定》。（英语：Bretton Woods Agreements，或译为布列敦伍兹协定、布列敦伍德协定) 布列敦森林体系正式形成。但却因为美元危机的多次出现、美国经济危机的频繁爆发、制度本身不可解决的矛盾性，布列敦森林体系于1973年宣告结束。

The Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia and Japan in the mid-20th century. The Bretton Woods system was the first example of a fully negotiated monetary order intended to govern monetary relations among independent nation-states. The chief features of the Bretton Woods system were an obligation for each country to adopt a monetary policy that maintained the exchange rate (± 1 percent) by tying its currency to gold and the ability of the IMF to bridge temporary imbalances of payments. Also, there was a need to address the lack of cooperation among other countries and to prevent competitive devaluation of the currencies as well.
