afterword to English edition of The Monetry Sins of the West, 1971 "...Even since 1961, public opinion had regarded me as prophesier
of evil: one who portended momentous events that no-one believed
would happen. Cassandra, they used to call me.
Today, no-one can doubt that Cassandra was right: I had
foretold that the international monetary system would inevitably
bring about a U.S. balance-of-payments deficit, inflation—first
in creditor countries, then in the community of convertible-currency
countries—and lastly the dislocation, in an atmosphere of general
collapse, of the international monetary system, by reason of the
accumulation of sight claims on U.S. gold.
The first two sets of consequences have already come to pass.
The third has been unfolding before us since 17 March 1968: the
gradual and inexorable destruction of the structure built at Bretton
Woods, which came to an end on 15 August 1971.
However, it would be puerile to go on repeating "I told you so."
What is important is to note that my prediction was no prophesy
but only the expression of a logical necessity that should not have
escaped the attention of a conscious observer."
