                                                   contains the edited pro-
ccedings of an October  1974 conference sponsored jointly by the American
Enterprise Institute and the United States Department of the Treasury. As is
emphasized throughout the volume, the rapid growth of Eurocurrencies, occurring
largely beyond the control exercised by national financial policies, signals a con-
comitant increase in financial interdependence among nations. This conference
brought together experts from universities, governments, and international agencies
to identify the effects of the growth of Eurocurrencies upon the international
monetary system and the implications of these effects for the conduct of national
financial policies. There emerged a partial consensus that the inflationary impact
of the Eurocurrency system has probably been low enough to preclude a recom-
mendation for greater governmental control over the system.
     In Part One of the volume, John H. Makin provides a longer-run perspective
on the role played by Eurocurrency growth in reducing the viability of independent
national financial policies and in bringing about general acquiescence to the
abandonment  of fixed exchange-rate parities. The chairman of the session was
Paul W.  McCracken  and the discussants were Alexander K. Swoboda, Franco
Modigliani, Jurg Nichans and Robert Z. Aliber.
     Part Two includes two papers focusing on the workings of international capital
markets. Dennis E. Logue, Michael A. Salant and Richard J. Sweeney investigate
the degree of integration in international capital markets. Richard J. Herring and
Richard C. Marston examine the relationship of the Eurocurrency market to the
determination of national interest rates and forward exchange rates. The chairman
of the session was Ralph C. Bryant and the discussants were Peter B. Kenen, Zoran
S. Hodjera, Paolo Savona and Deane Carson.
     In Part Three, Thomas D. Willett considers appropriate national monetary
and fiscal policies under alternative exchange-rate systems. Mr. Willett was chair-
man  of the session, and Richard N. Cooper,  William H. Branson,  Gottfried
Haberler, Paul Wonnacott and David I. Fand were the discussants.
     In Part Four, Carl H. Stem looks at the advisability of imposing some control
on the Eurocurrency system through instruments analogous to those employed in
controlling national financial systems. William Feliner was chairman of the session,
and the discussants were Hamish McRae, Fischer Black, Helmut W. Mayer  and
Polly R. Allen.
     An  annotated bibliography prepared by Ragnhild Mowill, John H. Makin
and Carl H. Stem concludes the volume.
