Germany and The Netherlands are already letting the mark and guilder float-that is, find their own values based on supply and demand. Robert Roosa, former U.S. Treasury Under Secretary, proposes that IMF members let their currencies fluctuate perhaps 2½% above or below official value. Thus, small changes in the values of currencies could be made by the free...
