The Case Against Harry Dexter White Still Not Proven
重新评估了二战后国际金融体系主要设计者怀特被指控为苏联间谍的证据,认为这些证据在怀特的职业生涯和世界观背景下存疑,并提出了更温和的解释。
Harry Dexter White, the principal architect of the international financial system established at the end of the Second World War, was arguably the most important U. S. government economist of the 20th century. His reputation, however, has suffered because of allegations that he spied for the Soviet Union. That charge has recently been revived by the declassification of documents showing that he met with Soviet agents in 1944 and 1945. Evaluation of that evidence in the context of White's career and worldview casts doubt on the case against him and provides the basis for a more benign interpretation.
