bush_cheney2004 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Posted November 17, 2010 How much currenct manipulation has the US done in the past 5 years? A couple bailouts of banks and wallstreet and an injection of close to another trillion. Plenty, for several reasons, including China refusing to float the yuan. Us did not fail because of petrol dollars. If oil was not traded in US dollars, we would not be having this discussion. This is the ONLY reason why it did not fail. But the Soviets failed for a multitude of reasons. OK...but the point is that the US dollar was the world reserve currency regardless of a gold standard. The IMF is just the world's central bank run by an american, but not owned by America. See the difference? Because the guys running the IMF don't give much of a damn about the US or any other country for that matter. It is about controlling the world's so called wealth and monitary policy. If you don't buy into the IMF (like any other world body like the UN, WHO WTO, ect ect, you can't play the game. Yes and no...the US has less of a voting control than before. It was the IMF that stood ready to solve the EU's PIGS problem if Germany and France didn't figure things out. Money talks...bullshit walks. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

maple_leafs182 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Posted November 17, 2010 I would say the Bank of International Settlement is more of the worlds central bank. It doesn't make loans but it does dictate policies to many central banks.

The reason BW signatories accepted the US dollars as the unit of economic account was because of the fixed exchange system that pegged it to gold. Quote I question things because I am human.

We've been over this already as well. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
