Fall '04 - The IMF and the World Bank
Examined the role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and other financial institutions in the world economy. The starting point was a review of the findings of the Meltzer Commission, a bipartisan group appointed by Congress in 1999 to review the activities of these institutions and to recommend reforms. We invited Meltzer Commission members and a number of journalists to the conference to answer questions concerning how to use the wealth of the United States and whether the US should be concerned with the management of the currenceis and related affairs of other nations.
