July 1944 was a meeting, not a ticker
The United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in July 1944. Delegates wrote articles that created the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Nominative: those names stay with those shops. We do not speak for them.

We’ll open this slide when you come back. This device remembers it.
Keys move the deck. N next, P previous. Ours. Not PowerPoint.
Swipe the deck. Hold Previous for slide one. A vertical swipe still scrolls the page.

The 1944 map tried to keep pairs orderly, with the dollar tied to gold for official holders and other units tied to the dollar. That map is a record. 15 August 1971, taught on the FX path, is the usual classroom door out of the gold convertibility piece. A map is not a forecast, and it is not a reason to size a pair this afternoon.
People sell Bretton Woods as a golden age or a crime. It was a meeting with articles. Articles can be amended. Meetings are not coupons.
Human: if you cannot say what the Fund does without saying a , you are still looking at a sticker. Sit with the shop. Look. Do not buy. Not their desk.
