Would it Matter if the British Chancellor of the Exchequer No Longer Controlled Monetary Policy?

Chapter 30 in European Monetary Union: The Kingsdown Enquiry, 1996, pp 195-199 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There is some tendency for commentators to claim that global integration of the world’s main financial markets has significantly undermined the ability of the authorities in any one country — always excepting the USA — to maintain sovereign control over its own domestic monetary policy. This argument can be much exaggerated; marginal changes in the limits to the authorities’ ability to determine their own domestic monetary policies are a matter of degree rather than a sea change.
