Physiocrats (B1)<br />The leading French school of economic thought which was active in the 1760s and 1770s and whose members were the first to be called 'economistes'. QUESNAY, Mirabeau, Dupont de Nemours and TURGOT used the name Physiocrats to mean 'Lords of Nature' as they took the view that the economy should pursue its natural course. There should be no interference by government and agriculture should be accorded a unique status as it produces a surplus through plants and animals reproducing themselves unlike machines, the product of sterile manufacture.

Bretton Woods Agreement (F3)<br />An agreement signed in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, in 1944 that created the INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. It set rules for exchange rate behaviour and created a pool of COMMON CURRENCIES, thereby making the IMF the world's 'lender of last resort'. This agreement was a compromise between KEYNEs's proposals for an INTERNATIONAL CLEARING UNION and Harry White's plan for an International Stabilization Fund. Par values for exchange rates were fixed in terms of gold. A country had to intervene if its exchange rate was 1 per cent above or below par. An adjustment of more than 10 per cent was permitted if the IMF thought there was a fundamental disequilibrium (a condition vaguely defined) in a country's BALANCE oF PAYMENTS. Temporary borrowings from the IMF were possible to support a currency. This GOLD EXCHANGE STANDARD of Bretton Woods was abandoned on 15 August 1971.<br /> Critics of Bretton Woods noted that the agreement did not provide a mechanism for changing inappropriate national exchange rate policies, that it failed to make national monetary and exchange rate policies compatible, and that it discouraged frequent changes in exchange rate parities. In practice, it was a DOLLAR STANDARD as most countries fixed their currencies against the US dollar. Its demise was hastened by the problems created by the Vietnam War for the US economy.<br /><em>Reference</em><br />Dormael, A. van (1978) Bretton Woods: Birth of a Monetary System, London: Macmillan. bridefare (13)<br />A welfare programme in Wisconsin, USA, enacted in 1994 that increased welfare benefits to teenage mothers who got married.
