Re: Perspectives on Gold - Sehr lesenswert - Danke!
-->Today the net debt owed by the United States to the
outside world (the so-called"international investment
position") is in the region of US$3 trillion. To
understand the scale of this figure, let me remind you
that it exceeds the total official currency reserves in
all the world's countries (including the United States
itself). According to the International Monetary Fund
statistics at last year-end, the world pool of foreign
currency reserves totalled Special Drawing Rights
2,013 billion or about US$2,800 billion. The volume
of cash only ("greenback" banknotes) available outside
the United States totals about US$400 billion.
The world has come to a paradoxical situation in which
the creditor countries are more concerned with the fate
of the dollar than the U.S. authorities themselves are.
