Do ouro imóvel ao dólar flexível

Abstract: In this paper we discuss some essential features of the balance of payments position of the country which issues the key currency in different international monetary standards. The analysis is made from a Sraffian standpoint, where the monetary rate of interest of the central country is seen as an independent policy variable, institutionally determined. This brief and schematic analysis of the theories and experiences of the international monetary standards shall allow us to reach the prime aim of this work, which is that of providing a simple but sufficiently precise characterization of the current international monetary standard, that we shall call the ?floating dollar standard?.
