Summary
This chapter draws out connections between the Tripartite Agreement and the Bretton Woods system, showing that the latter in many ways built on the former. Indeed, the principles articulated in the Agreement continue to motivate many of the goals for the international monetary system today. It concludes with lessons for improving international monetary cooperation based on the experience of the Tripartite years.
