Currency "hegemony."
There were many reasons for $Dollar Hegemony.
They're gone now...
We held a gun to the middle east, use our banks to sell oil, or we kill you.
Everyone needed oil, we ruled the world.
Middle eaz rises up, says, no more.
Currency is fundamentally nothing, it's the difference between VISA and Mastercard.
The material for which you are buying does not ever change, and are not speculative, the physical stock and flows.
What is speculative, is the value system we assign to real things. This system is entirely fabricated and interchangeable.
There was a financial "technology" dominance in our world, we had the computers, we had the network.
Now EVERYONE has computers and everyone has networks.
Who still wears Esprit, Bugle Boys, The Limited ? Brands come and go.
So now that the "technology" has naturally democratized, this gangster stuff simply stops working. The dollar is just another credit card company, and because of you know who, everyone hates it. The BRAND has been destroyed.
