into depression and conflict in this regard they were actually very unsuccessful and it took the marshall plan launched by the united states in one thousand nine hundred seven to revive the western european and indeed global economy now you have written a book about bretton woods the conference itself was the conference contentious in any way. it was very contentious between two countries in particular the united states and great britain the united states was very conscious of the fact that britain was going bankrupt during world war two and was intent on using this as an opportunity to ensure that in the post-war era great britain did not once again reemerge as a political and economic rival to the united states so bretton woods among other things sought to establish the u.s. dollar as the unrivaled global currency the global unit of account the global unit for trade now why didn't we go back to a strict gold standard after bretton woods. there wasn't really any support for it . and the united states had no intention of buying being itself to the old implicit rules of the classical gold excha

as well if it wants to see any movement so the gc any appetite in europe for a european stone marshall plan as one of the main opposition figures are skinny yet seen you to school full. it's hard to see your trading. i must announce ukraine given they use the existing problems already in it and it will probably look somewhat strange some of the members that are also in need of assistance. we think we can only count that is if the eu doesn't provide a massive eight and in russia freezes the rest of its planned the enemy and the outlook for the ukraine itself. the outlook is certainly not good. it's hard to see ukraine surviving very long without the distance we know that it's already been in and dire financial straits and deed ihs economists have been working hard on now looking at lowering ukraine sovereign risk rating for that very reason. what about the tutu to come into the dude that the relationship with russia or did he mention wii the rush to using the moon is as as lee virginia in the last we've seen. at times the pragmatic relationship between the kremlin and ukrainian authorities a

they spent one hundred billion dollars in today's money on the marshall plan to rebuild europe and in total the u.s. has spent about the same on afghanistan a country with a g.d.p. that's estimated to be about twenty billion by the i.m.f. now the question is is this an example of how america's militarism is wasting money that could be spent investing in the domestic economy. there is no question that we're wasting a huge amount of money here and a hundred billion dollars on afghanistan most americans don't know where it is afghanistan is a very little consequence to the us and yet we have set a hundred billion dollars and lost a lot of lives of american and afghan what is this can you know you know how much a hundred billion dollars is now when we could do a lot of stuff with one hundred billion dollars schools highways lots of things a lot and i mean it is a tremendous amount of money we're talking billions with a b. here not millions so there's a lot that can be done now i want to ask you about trade agreements and there's a lot of talk lately about the trans-pacific partnership her

and free enterprise societies need to contemplate a marshall plan almost within themselves to advance the work opportunities of the least off. the final point i would make is that while economist, myself, often talk about economic efficiency or prosperity in economic terms, i think one can go back to adam smith and classical writers in my profession to make the defense a moral one. smith called natural liberty the power to buy and sell, take or leave a job, and make a deal with whomever you like. that's not just a feature of commerce. it is a feature of a moral society. dignity is also a symbol of a free enterprise society. markets promote mutual respect for each other's talents, for each other's energy and hard work. arthur has said many times, and said it well, that earned success with the fruit of your own creativity is an important moral and satisfaction objective, not just about gdp. and i would leave you with a couple of thoughts. free enterprise societies tend to be societies that have more dispersed power. the power is spread out evenly in the population and not with a single
