Presenting an analysis of Canadian exchange rate politics, this book explores Canada's commitment to a floating exchange rate for its national currency.Why Canada is unlikely to abandon the canadian dollar

"Helleiner is able to make an original and nuanced argument about the historically and politically contingent logic of exchange rate policies." Jacqueline Best, University of Ottawa "Helleiner pulls together a range of sources to provide a richer tapestry of the forces influencing the setting of policy. Towards North American Monetary Union? is likely to become a standard reference." Michael Bradfield, Dalhousie University
