Robert Vincent Roosa (June 21, 1918 – December 23, 1993)[1] was an American economist and banker. He served as Treasury Undersecretary for Monetary Affairs during the Kennedy administration . He believed the U.S. dollar should be the world's leading currency and reference point because the United States was the leading political and economic power.
Early years
[ edit ]
Born in Marquette, Michigan , he studied at the University of Michigan , receiving his A.B. in 1939.[2] He received a Rhodes Scholarship but due to the outbreak of war in Europe did not attend Oxford.[3] Instead, he remained at Michigan, taking M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1940 and 1942 respectively. Between 1939 and 1943, he taught economics at Michigan, Harvard , and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . During World War II he served in London as assistant to Charles P. Kindleberger in the Enemy Objectives Unit , identifying potentially valuable enemy targets.
Postwar years
[ edit ]
From 1946 he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York , ultimately reaching the position of vice president in the bank's research department.[3] He then joined the Treasury , under John F. Kennedy, as Undersecretary for Monetary Affairs,[3] where he helped to address the balance of payments problem facing America at that time.[4] One of his solutions was the creation of bonds that would attract and allow foreign holders of dollars to turn them into long-term assets as an alternative to buying U.S. gold.[5] Known as Roosa bonds , they were bought with dollars, but denominated and repaid in Swiss francs .[6] Roosa believed that the international monetary system should be based on a reference and that the reference should be the U.S. dollar.[4] He continued under the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson until 1964.
Roosa joined the Wall Street firm of Brown Brothers Harriman as a partner, in 1965. In 1966, he was elected to both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society .[7] [8] He was a director at the Council on Foreign Relations between 1966 and 1981, and a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation .[9] He also became a member of the influential Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty in 1979. He was also a member of the Trilateral Commission .[10] From 1975 to 1986, he was chairman of the Brookings Institution .[11] Roosa retired from Brown Brothers in 1991.
Personal

Roosa was married to Ruth Roosa (née AmEnde), who died in October 1993. They had two daughters.[2] Roosa died in Port Chester, New York in December 1993, aged 75.[12]
