The book delves into the profound impact of democracy on economics over the past 150 years. As voting expanded to the masses in the late 19th century, political leaders faced mounting pressures to deliver prosperity to their newly enfranchised populations. This, in turn, gave rise to the concept of the "guardian state," a state whose primary objective was to safeguard economic growth and employment. Domestic economic goals became paramount, and even if it meant failing to construct international solutions to monetary relations, it was deemed acceptable.

The book traces the history of international monetary diplomacy during this crucial period to unveil the manifestation of the guardian state and its profound influence on international monetary relations. It scrutinizes each of the most significant international monetary conferences in history, examining how nations sought to protect the prosperity within their national economies. The historical narratives provide a bird's-eye view into how domestic political priorities have intruded on and shaped economic interactions among nations.

The book underscores the significance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how politics shapes economics. It is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of international economics, politics, and economic history. By examining the interplay between democracy, economic growth, and international monetary relations, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that have shaped the global economy over the past century and a half.
