Summary/Abstract: The eightieth anniversary of the International Monetary Fund's establishment during the Bretton Woods conference allows a reflection on the role of Leo Pasvolsky in its creation. After the introduction, using historical and epistemological methods, the article illuminates Pasvolsky's public image in its second paragraph. The following paragraph deals with his life, works and main ideas. The fourth paragraph focuses on Pasvolsky as a planner of the post-WWII global order. Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, entitled Leo Pasvolsky to establish and supervise various divisions within the State Department from 1939 till the end of the war. The next paragraph focuses on Pasvolsky’s ideas for creating an organization similar to the IMF in the 1930s and early 1940s. The conclusion emphasizes that Pasvolsky regarded the establishment of the IMF, IBRD, and the WTO as part of the UN organizations that aimed to keep the peace between the belligerent countries in WWII.
