Time For a World Currency....?

Discussion in 'Economics' started by libertad, Jun 10, 2008.

  1. A world central bank? God, no. Right now, various economies in the EZ are having a nightmare trying to cope with the setting of the ECB's "one-size fits all" economic policy (which is actually customized for Germany).

    Can you imagine one world central bank trying to manage the differing economies from the US to China to Ecuador to Vietnam to the UK to Iraq?

    What a laugh.

    I understood it to be the old line italian banks from milan dating back to the 16th century + british enivromentalist groups who control most of the world resources with the possible exception of oil who are looking to have a world currency.

    Rev 13:16,17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, …..

    To give the right hand was a pledge of fidelity (2Ki 10:15; Ezr 10:19); also of submission to the victors (Eze 17:18; Jer 50:15).

  7. There once was a World currency with a known value: gold.

    Gold is boring, fiat currencies are much more fun and exciting.

    I agree gold is very boring. The only way we get a world currency would be if we have a unified world leadership. the new world currency is oil. And unlike gold it can be a lot of fun and pain.
