Description:This study, the first of two volumes, describes how the external costs of the second world war, 1939-45, and the methods by which they were financed, influenced the direction taken by British external economic policy after the war. The undertakings associated with US provision of Lend-Lease assistance, the accumulation of massive sterling debts overseas, and the American and Canadian post-war loans formed the background to policies of international cooperation that were intended to reduce economic nationalism and to promote economic expansion.The author gives particular attention to an number of outstanding problems. These include the effect on Anglo-American trade relations of Britain's acute need for dollars in 1940-41; the 'Consideration' yielded by Britain in 1942 in return for Lend-Lease; the Anglo-American controversy in the shaping of new international financial institutions, culminating in the Bretton Woods agreements of 1944; the partially abortive search for Anglo-American agreements of 1944; the partially abortive search for Anglo-American agreement on commercial policy; the complex difficulties frustrating a settlement of sterling balances; and the negotiation of post-war aid from the USA (1945) and Canada (1946), in the context of those countries' expectations of the early convertibility of sterling and of the liberalisation of British trade.
