Intervjuud Hayek’iga – fikseeritud vahetuskursside kaitsmisest

It was a difference between nearly all my friends, who were in favor of flexible exchanges, and my support of fixed exchange rates, which I had intellectually to justify. I was driven to the conclusion that I wanted fixed exchange rates, not because I was convinced that it was necessarily a better system but it was the only discipline on governments which existed. If you released the governments from that discipline, the democratic process, which I have been analyzing in different conditions, was bound to drive it into inflation. Even my defense of fixed exchange rates was, in a way, limited. I was against abandoning them only where people wanted flexible exchanges in order to make inflation easier.
