Zombie Currency

In this episode Maylis Avaro (Penn University) and Carmen Hofmann ( eabh ) discuss the international role of Sterling during the Bretton Woods era. Maylis claims that after 1945, the collective interests of the members of the sterling zone (stability of trade, free flow of capital, freer trade, access to London markets) were little compared to the cost of having UK authorities using the currency as a means of political domination. Tune in and listen to a fascinating story of currency, empire & independence!
