The International Monetary Fund, 1946- 1950: A Selected Bibliography Martin L. Loftus * HE SELECTED REFERENCES presented in this bibliography, Tcovering books, pamphlets, and periodical articles published since the Fund was organized in 1946, include publications describing the organization and functions of the International Monetary Fund and also comments and analyses of its activities. Since this is not a bib- liography of international economics, writings on various aspects of this subject are included only when they contain material on the Fund. Although most of the official publications of the Fund are included, this is not intended to be a complete bibliography of such publications. A number of important articles and basic documents published prior to the organization of the Fund are listed in Bretton Woods agree- ments; a bibliography, April 1943-December 1945 (with supplement, January-December 1946), published by the Library of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Washington, 1946-47), and in "Classified bibliography of articles on international economics," compiled by Howard S. Ellis and Lloyd A. Metzler and published in Readings in the theory of international trade, American Economic As- sociation (Philadelphia, Blakiston, 1949), pp. 555-625. A few im- portant publications issued before 1946 which were not included in either of these two bibliographies are listed here.
