From what I've been hearing lately, there are many people world-wide (and by people, I mean governments) that are pushing for this.

I agree with Pats, if it happens, we're all screwed.

Soros could not crush an entire economy like he did with Thailand a few years ago.

If we cleared debt and went to a world currency- a burger king whopper would be $65 bucks. But your payscale would be the same.

Would be sort of sweet but the whole world already takes dollars and Euros. The EU became the largest trade market in the world after going to the Euro but now they are having issues...germany is pulling their funds. Th emore econimically bound countries are the less likely they are to engange in war...thoughts?

I disagree, completely. I think this would just be another thing for people to fight about. And money, as we all know, is the number one cause of stress in a marriage. That analogy, I think, would be the same between countries. But, instead of divorce lawyers and judges, you have guns and bombs being the decision makers.

Bad idea.

Hmmm, then how to you explain the relative stability and peace in europe since WWII...promulgated possibly by the infusion of American capital and democratic capitalism? In contrast, other regions that dont partner this way like Africa and the Middle east (and Asia to some extent) have more conflict and open hostilities. Just a theory...i really have no idea...

Not all countries belong to the European Union and are on the euro. and just to give you some idea how would socialism play a part where the goverment provides most things? Example is Norway. In 1986 at burger king it was over 14 dollars for a whooper meal. a standard glass of beer was $7. do you really think that we could convert that easily.. heck we couldn't do the metric system years ago..

Why would it make any difference?

it's still energy transfer... it's just a symbol used to swap stuff...

Dirt, livestock, paper, plastic....there is no difference....it's just stuff.

We are led to believe we are less, if we have less of this symbolic stuff..

We are not...

We may not get to participate in the great greed machine...although as the world is showing us right now....sometimes it's healthier to be a spectator, than a participant in the great money swap.

Some people here do a little bit of barter, when they don't want to have to worry about cash. Actually works out quite nice.
