The Imperialism of International Currency

Abdurrahman Arum Rahman

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Our international monetary system is neither symmetrical nor democratic. Some countries create international payment instruments while others buy them. This gives rise to imperialism. Countries that create international money can benefit at the cost of the world. Countries in the world give up resources and wealth to countries that own international currencies from hundreds of billions of dollars to trillions every year for free. Countries that own international currencies create and regulate the international monetary system for their domestic interests, not for the world's interests. The current international currency system is the greatest empire of the modern age.
