In its more than 65 years of existence, the International Monetary Fund has evolved from a small, obscure international agency, with new and uncertain responsibilities, into a powerful institution that today has assumed center stage in the international monetary system. It is a remarkable story of how an institution has developed and adapted itself to an evolving world and a changing membership in ways that perhaps no other international agency has been forced or able to do. The third edition of the Historical Dictionary of the International Monetary Fund provides a comprehensive overview of the fund, including a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the organizations, significant leaders, founders, and members. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the International Monetary Fund.

Sarah Tenney is assistant professor in the Political Science and Criminal Justice Department at The Citadel. She was a staff member of the International Monetary Fund from 1987 to 2003. Norman K. Humphreys was a member of the staff of the International Monetary Fund, holding the post of chief editor for 23 years before retiring in 1986. He has contributed articles to a number of financial journals and newspapers.
