...E não é que o senhor, no mesmo artigo, até refere<br /><br />"1. Though the super-sovereign reserve currency has long since been proposed, yet no substantive progress has been achieved to date. Back in the 1940s, Keynes had already proposed to introduce an international currency unit named "Bancor", based on the value of 30 representative commodities. Unfortunately, the proposal was not accepted. The collapse of the Bretton Woods system, which was based on the White approach, indicates that the Keynesian approach may have been more farsighted. The IMF also created the SDR in 1969, when the defects of the Bretton Woods system initially emerged, to mitigate the inherent risks sovereign reserve currencies caused. Yet, the role of the SDR has not been put into full play due to limitations on its allocation and the scope of its uses. However, it serves as the light in the tunnel for the reform of the international monetary system.

The acceptance of credit-based national currencies as major international reserve currencies, as is the case in the current system, is a rare special case in history. The crisis again calls for creative reform of the existing international monetary system towards an international reserve currency with a stable value, rule-based issuance and manageable supply, so as to achieve the objective of safeguarding global economic and financial stability.<br />...<br />The basket of currencies forming the basis for SDR valuation should be expanded to include currencies of all major economies, and the GDP may also be included as a weight. The allocation of the SDR can be shifted from a purely calculation-based system to a system backed by real assets, such as a reserve pool, to further boost market confidence in its value. <br />...<br />http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90884/6621482.htmlA Chatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12241446314368446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4018985866499281301.post-50526665184500858852009-04-24T22:44:00.000+01:002009-04-24T22:44:00.000+01:00Mas não lhe parece que essa exigência que menciona...Mas não lhe parece que essa exigência que menciona, a nível do sistema financeiro internacional, apenas será possível se os actores políticos que o determinam mudarem igualmente? E que essa mudança implica uma mudança bem maior do que a mudança de percepção teórica (se quiser, epistemológica) do falhanço de doutrinas económicas? Por outras palavras, este "mais cedo do que tarde" só surgira se houver movimentações de eleitorados e de massas que os exijam? É principalmente nesse plano que tenho expectativas<br />menos elevadas, a não ser que se seja como diria algures o Gramsci, pessimista na razão e optimista na prática. <br /><br />Rui SantosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
