An Introduction to the IMF

The consensus of the world’s leaders is that economic stability and cooperation offer the best hope for global peace. Using interviews with members of the International Monetary Fund’s Board of Governors—each one the head of a national central bank or a minister of finance—this program explains how the IMF is structured and illustrates how it sets policy. The program also uses archival footage to examine the dual birth of the IMF and the World Bank and to explore the vision of its founding members: John Maynard Keynes and Harry Dexter White. IMF historian James Boughton provides additional insights. (18 minutes)
