Indeed, one might legitimately question whether we have a “system” at all, at least compared to the Bretton Woods arrangements and, before that, the seeming simplicity of the gold standard. No one today has been able to exert authority systematically and consistently, and there is no officially sanctified and controlled international currency.
与这些改革紧密相关的是国际货币体系改革。事实上，一个相当合理的问题是现在我们到底有没有至少堪与布雷顿森林体系或再往前的金本位相比的“体系”。如今，没人能系统性、一贯性地发号施令，也没有被正式认可和控制的国际货币。
