Money Matters

Money Matters
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has a website loaded with information, including specific sections titled "Country Info", "News", and "Data and Statistics". Visitors might be especially interested in the current exhibit on the site entitled "The Importance of Global Cooperation". The exhibit is composed of six sections, each more than several pages in length. Some of the sections in this historical look at money include "Destruction & Reconstruction", "The System in Crisis", and "Debt & Transition". Each section focuses on a time period, such as 1871-1944, which is titled "Conflict & Cooperation". At the bottom of each page of the section, are links to the other subsections of that section. For example, in the "Conflict & Cooperation" section, some of the subsections are "The Golden Era", "Cost of the World War", and "The End of the War is in Sight". There is no need to go through each page of the section, since the subsections can guide the visitor to exactly what they want to read. In each section, there are a few well-placed photographs and political cartoons from the time period that accompany and help further illuminate the well-written text. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2010. http://scout.wisc.edu/
