JACKSON — Join Carl Lindblade as he talks about the Bretton Woods Conference at the Jackson Historical Society, Sunday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m.
The conference, held 50 years ago at the Mount Washington Hotel (now Omni Mount Washington Resort), may be one of the most important conferences of the last century. It provided a new way of rebuilding nations after wars. Delegates from 44 nations came to Bretton Woods and created the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The purpose of the conference was to agree on a system of economic order and international cooperation to help countries recover from the devastation of World War II.
