At first glance, the modern history of the global economic system seems to support the long-held view that the leading world power's currency—the British pound, the U.S. dollar, and perhaps someday the Chinese yuan—invariably dominates international trade and finance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHow Global Currencies Work\u003c\/em\u003e, three noted economists provide a reassessment of this history and the theories behind the conventional wisdom. Offering a new history of global finance over the past two centuries and marshalling extensive new data to test established theories of how global currencies work, Barry Eichengreen, Arnaud Mehl, and Livia Chit?u argue for a new view, in which several national monies can share international currency status, and their importance can change rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey demonstrate how changes in technology and in the structure of international trade and finance have reshaped the landscape of international currencies so that several international financial standards can coexist.
