When people talk about the Bretton Woods system they are talking about the dollar dominate system of international trade and finance. It began with the Bretton Woods agreement. The end of gold convertibility was a change to that system not the end of the paradigm.

By people I'm assuming you're referring to people that have never picked up a history book and are cargo culting the name Bretton Woods. Don't feed an idea that is factually wrong.
