A fascinante e caótica história do dólar
Como uma moeda de prata nascida de uma mina europeia deixa de ser metal e se torna promessa escrita em papel nas Américas. O cálculo de conveniência feito por milhares de pessoas comuns.

Your Mortgage Was Priced in Basel
Somewhere in America today a couple is signing a mortgage. Thirty years, a fixed rate, a kitchen table, a pen that suddenly weighs more than it should. They believe the number on the page came from their bank, or from the Federal Reserve, or from the mysterious weather system called the market. All three answers hold a piece of the truth, and all three leave out the room where a slice of that number was set: a round tower beside the railway tracks in Basel, Switzerland, owned by the central banks of the world, run by a staff most Americans will never hear named, and answerable to no voter on Earth.

The Iraq ~~oil-grab~~ war? Because of this.
The threats and destruction and kidnapping of the leader of Venezuela? And the resulting theft of their oil? Because of this.
The war in Iran? Partly because the idiot was talked into it by an "ally", but the US has been threatening Iran for decades because of the threat of oil sales outside the petrodollar system.
The only people that can get away with using another currency for oil are those with nuclear weapons capable of hitting the USA. So China's been dipping its toe into using renminbi in oil purchases. Russia is doing its own thing on the black market.
Want to know why the USA is so determined none of the countries in the middle east get nuclear weapons? Because that's where the oil is.
This is also why the USA - at least the Republicans and billionaires and oil companies and the rest of the usual suspects - fight so hard against all other energy sources - renewables especially. If demand for oil decreases, demand for US dollars decreases, and at some point that demand is no longer enough to keep the US currency from collapsing.
When that happens, the effect on the USA will be quick and severe, an economic collapse the likes of which the USA has never seen before.
It'll be ugly.

Elizabeth Mateos llama a convertir al Congreso de la Cdmx en un espacio para el debate de las ideas económicas
Presentan en el Congreso de la Cdmx el libro Dinero y Bretton Woods 2.0, una reflexión sobre el futuro de la economía mundial
Por Luis Muñoz | Reportero
La diputada Elizabeth Mateos Hernández dijo que los parlamentos modernos también deben ser un espacio para la reflexión y el espacio de ideas, durante la presentación del libro Dinero y Bretton Woods 2.0 que se llevó a cabo en el Congreso de la Ciudad de México.
La obra, escrita por la inversionista y empresaria Marie Accogli, plantea una reflexión sobre el futuro de la economía mundial.
Durante la presentación del libro, Mateos Hernández, presidente de la Comisión de Administración Pública, señaló ante representantes del sector empresarial, financiero y académico; integrantes de organizaciones de la sociedad civil, medios de comunicación y público, que el Congreso debe ser un espacio donde se promueva el intercambio de ideas y la reflexión sobre los temas que influyen en el desarrollo del país y el mundo.
Destacó que la obra retoma los acuerdos de Bretton Woods, firmados en 1944 al término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y plantea la necesidad de analizar si las instituciones financieras internacionales deben adaptarse a los cambios que vive el mundo, marcados por el avance de la tecnología, la digitalización de la economía, los nuevos retos ambientales y las transformaciones de los mercados internacionales.
La legisladora destacó que este análisis también resulta importante para México, porque el crecimiento económico debe de reflejarse en mejores condiciones para las familias, las pequeñas y medianas empresas y para quienes todos los días generan empleo e invierten en el país, lo cual ha sido uno de los principios fundamentales del Humanismo Mexicano impulsado por la «cuarta transformación», al entender que la estabilidad económica y el bienestar social son complementarios.
Agregó que el modelo económico impulsado en los últimos años por el ex mandatario Andrés Manuel López Obrador, y hoy con la presidente Claudia Sheinbaum, “se ha buscado combinar disciplina fiscal, inversión pública, fortalecimiento del mercado interno y justicia social”.
En ese contexto mencionó que nuestro país registra más de 22.7 millones de empleos formales afiliados al IMSS, una tasa de desempleo cercana al 2.7%, exportaciones superiores a 723 mil millones de dólares y se mantiene entre las diez economías con mayor captación de inversión extranjera directa (IED).
Además, resaltó la recuperación del salario mínimo, al pasar de 88 pesos con 36 centavos diarios en 2018 a 315 pesos con 4 centavos diarios a partir del primero de enero de este año, lo que ha permitido mejorar el poder adquisitivo de millones de familias.
Elizabeth Mateos dijo que en la ciudad de México la administración encabezada por la jefa de Gobierno, Clara Bugada Molina, impulsa el desarrollo económico con inclusión mediante el fortalecimiento de la inversión, la infraestructura, la innovación, la movilidad, la simplificación administrativa y la generación de oportunidades para todas y todos.
Durante la presentación, en la que también estuvo presente la luchadora social y empresaria Noemí Duarte, la autora de la obra compartió los principales planteamientos de Dinero y Bretton Woods 2.0 Posteriormente se realizó un panel de participación con la escritora Marie Accogli, la diputada Elizabeth Mateos y Noemí Duarte.
Como conclusión, la legisladora reconoció el trabajo editorial de Marie Accogli y señaló que este tipo de obras contribuyen a enriquecer la reflexión sobre el futuro de la economía internacional y sobre el papel que México puede desempeñar en ese nuevo escenario mundial. –sn–

Im Bretton - Woods - System wurde der US-Dollar an Gold gekoppelt, die USA boten sich als Sicherheitsanker auch im Kontext eines #NATO - Verteidigungsfalles an.
Nach dem Jom-Kippur-Krieg & schon damaligen Ölpreisschock (auch für Deutschland) wurde der USD vom Gold entkoppelt & an den Fossilhandel gebunden (Petrodollar). Signal war & ist: Brennstoffe werden nur in Dollar gehandelt, wir garantieren.
Für fossile Oligarchen rund um Trump & Putin sind daher sinkende Ölpreise ein wirtschaftlich wie auch politisch riesiges Problem.

Meanwhile, Bretton Woods was just the cherry 🍒 on top of their ticking time bomb. Complete shocker, right? 😱

Vor ein paar Jahren las ich den "eigentlichen" Grund für das New York-Lager aus #Bundesbank-Perspektive:
Das #Gold sicherte die Export-Garantien und Fremdwährungs-Einnahmen "Deutschlands".
Das stammte noch aus der Zeit vor #BrettonWoods und der Fiat-Ära ab #Nixon.
Es war schlicht nicht sinnvoll, diese Barren - ständig! - über den Nord-Atlantik hin und her zu transportieren.

#Dollar is collapsing
The worst performance in 52 years sparks terror in the markets.
Shock and awe is being caused by the new plunge in the dollar, which has recorded its worst first-half performance in 52 years, bringing back memories of the Nixon era and the end of #BrettonWoods.
By June, the #US currency plunged 10.7% against its major rivals and sparking scenarios of dramatic upheavals in the global economic order.

"So far, nothing that has been proposed mitigates the underlying tendency to build up imbalances within the system (large trade deficits and surpluses). However, this new institutional setting allows for two key interventions that will not only limit imbalances but will also unlock massive potential for mutual development. I call these two interventions The Levy and The Charge. Here is what they are and how they work.
- The Levy: A trade imbalance levy to be charged annually to each central bank’s kosmos account in proportion to its current account deficit or surplus and paid into a Common Development Fund (CDF) held at the kosmos issuing multilateral institution
- The Charge: Private financial institutions to pay a ‘surge’ fee into the same common fund, the CDF, in proportion to any surge of capital flows out of a country, reminiscent of the congestion price-hike that companies like Uber charge their customers at times of peak traffic.
The Levy’s rationale is to motivate governments of surplus countries to boost domestic spending and investment while systematically reducing the international spending power of deficit countries. Foreign exchange markets will factor this in, adjusting exchange rates faster in response to current account imbalances and cancelling out much of the capital flows which today support chronically unbalanced trade. As for the Charge, it will automatically penalise speculative herd-like capital inflows or outflows without, however, handing discretionary power to bureaucrats or the need for inflexible capital controls."

“Should proposals for recognition of crypto as a reserve asset for the US turn into reality, the result will be to make the $US itself useless as a reserve currency. Governments and financial institutions outside the US should be ready to dump dollars if this looks like becoming a reality. In the meantime, financial institutions should be prohibited from dealing with it [crypto] in any way, and individuals should be required to report crypto holdings and transactions.”

Why can't I fix this myself and buy a #Computer, you wonder? Because I know what money IS. What it PHYSICALLY IS. Money used to get its value from gold, y'know, a SHINY STONE, but then in 1971 the #SmithsonianAgreement was signed at #BrettonWoods (CITATION UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN HIDDEN—THE WANNABE OVERLORDS KNOW THAT IT REPRESENTS THE FACT MONEY IS #MEANINGLESS AND #ARBITRARY AND NO LAW OF PHYSICS MEAN A LACK OF IT SHOULD HAVE ANY EFFECT) and that removed its value completely.
Review: “Les Origines du plan Marshall”https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/news/detail/9378
#AnnieLacroixRiz analyses the “Myth of the #US American Aid” to #Europe following the #SecondWorldWar and the path to the imposition of #US hegemony.
[...]
#LacroixRiz’s analysis, as meticulous as always, sheds light on the years 1941 to 1946 – the period, in which the #UnitedStates imposed its “rise to global hegemony.” The French General #PaulAndréDoyen, head of the #French delegation to the #GermanArmisticeCommission since September 6, 1940, had already predicted the #GermanReich’s demise back in July 1941: the #UnitedStates, the actual victor of the #FirstWorldWar, would emerge from the Second even more powerful, while the European countries, which once could still have been its rival, would be seriously weakened. The world “would have to bow to the will of the #UnitedStates over the coming decades.” Doyen was right.
During the period mentioned above, the #UnitedStates laid the necessary groundwork – not only militarily, but above all economically. Important milestones, such as the #LandLeaseAct, which regulated – beginning in 1941 – the delivery of strategic combat material to allied countries, officially on a leasing basis; then the results of #BrettonWoods in July 1944, which ensured the dominance of the US-dollar; and ultimately, particularly for #France, the #BlumByrnesAgreements of May 1946, compelling access for #US cultural products, particularly films, to the French cultural market. All these milestones decisively contributed to paving the way for #US-American products and capital into #Europe. The #MarshallPlan was merely the final cherry on the cake. It further increased sales of #US products to #WestEuropean countries, binding them even more closely to the #USA, ultimately securing #US hegemony.
[...]
Présentation du livrehttps://www.dunod.com/histoire-geographie-et-sciences-politiques/origines-du-plan-marshall-mythe-aide-americaine
Depuis l’annonce du #PlanMarshall, au printemps 1947, s’est imposée dans la zone d’influence américaine la conviction que les prêts en dollars des années 1948-1951 avaient apporté une aide décisive aux « pays bénéficiaires ». Ils auraient seuls sorti l’ #EuropeOccidentale de la faim, de la misère, des ruines et permis sa reconstruction. Ils l’auraient aussi protégée de l’ #ArméeRouge de #Staline qui corsetait l’ #EuropeOrientale.
Se fondant sur la #chronologie et les #archives, notamment américaines, #AnnieLacroixRiz éclaire autrement ce dossier. Elle revient sur les accords cruciaux qui, en six années seulement, ont ouvert la porte aux produits et capitaux américains : le Prêt-Bail à l’Angleterre, en 1941-1942, les accords de #BrettonWoods mondialisant le dollar, en juillet 1944, et les accords #BlumByrnes de mai 1946.
Ces six années marquèrent l’avènement d’un projet qui, loin de dater de la #SecondeGuerreMondiale, avait été initié et mené sans répit depuis les années 1890. En définitive, il s’agissait moins de tendre une main secourable à l’ #Europe que de mettre en place une #hégémonie financière, commerciale, politique et culturelle.

Rise and fall of #US-led neocolonial financial order: From #BrettonWoods to #BRICS
The rise and fall of US-led neocolonial financial order, from the 1944 Bretton Woods conference that established the #USDollar as the global reserve currency; to the 1971 #NixonShock that ended the gold standard, Volcker Shock, Third World debt crisis, and emergence of neoliberalism; and finally to the historic growth of China and consolidation of the Global South-led BRICS bloc.
The decline of the #dollar is unstoppable, and will continue to lose purchasing power.
A big question is whether the #USdollar can return as a gold-backed currency. Will a new gold standard or #BrettonWoods style currency save the world's reserve currency?
In fact it will destroy the entire American economy, so let them try.
