Extractions: Encyclopedia money The monetary system of the United States was based on bimetallism during most of the 19th cent. A full gold standard was in effect from 1900 to 1933, providing for free coinage of gold and full convertibility of currency into gold coin; the volume of money in circulation was closely related to the gold supply. The passage of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which put the country on a modified gold standard, presaged the end of the gold-based monetary system in domestic exchange. Under this system, the dollar was legally defined as having a certain, fixed value in gold. While gold was still thought to be important for maintenance of confidence in the dollar, its connection with the actual use of money was at best vague. The 1934 act stipulated that gold could not be used as a medium of domestic exchange. More recently, a number of measures have de-emphasized the dollar's dependence on gold; since the early 1970s, practically all U.S. currency, paper or coin, is essentially fiat money. debit cards , and credit cards ; demand deposits (checking accounts) are, therefore, generally considered part of the money supply. Starting in 1996, the Federal Reserve undertook the redesign of all paper bills, chiefly to deter a new wave of

SOME BOOK REFERENCES Money has been defined as a medium of exchange , as a means of storing value and as a standard for measuring market value Euros prior to the introduction of the Euro currency. A mill (one-tenth of a cent) is a standard of value for taxation purposes, but is not currently part of the medium of exchange. Money as a medium of exchange solves the problem of "coincident wants". A gravestone-maker who wants to buy eggs does not need to find a poultry farmer who want a gravestone. Even if such a poultry farmer could be found, the gravestone-maker would probably prefer to purchase eggs in small quantities on a regular basis for the rest of her life. It is far more convenient for her to trade gravestones for the medium of exchange and then use the medium of exchange to buy eggs. The medium of exchange allows for a time interval between selling and buying so each transaction can occur at more a more convenient time and place. Durability, divisibility, malleability, portability, recognizability, availability and a high value-to-weight ratio are important qualities which make metals useful as money. All metals are lustrous in a vacuum, but become tarnished (or ignite) when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere. Metals resistant to oxidation are easily purified and the value of the pure metal can be determined from a single, easily-measure quantity:

Extractions: Issues and Background The introduction of the euro... has clear economic advantages. It removes the uncertainty over exchange rates from a large part of Europe.... It increases the transparency of the European market, which makes it easier to benefit from economies of scale, but - or rather, in addition - it encourages competition. The European System of Central Banks will also try to bring about price stability over a large area which, if successful, will be an important condition for a sustainable, real (i.e., actual) growth in income and employment. The economic advantages of EMU [European Monetary Union] increase in proportion to the size and stability of the euro region. Willem F. Duisenberg The ultimate irony, of course, is that the attempt to bind the European countries together in an artificial currency straight-jacket without political unity and common political will is bound to result in the exact opposite of what its founders intended: It will lead to a situation where individual national leaders will blame their economic and financial problems on the monetary straight-jacket forced upon them. One can well envision a situation in which Spanish leaders will claim that unemployment is so high because the European Central Bank's monetary policy is too tight, while at the same time Germany's leaders will blame the central bank for too high an inflation rate. This is not a recipe for monetary, economic and political harmony.

The concentration of economic power and ecological devastation have heralded the collapse of many civilizations and empires. At this time in history, humanity must choose between the health and well-being of our planet, humanity, and other lifeforms, or the further enrichment of the ruling elite. The choice is clear. The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, World Economic Forum, and "Trade Agreements," such as the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI) blatantly favor the rich over all environmental and human rights concerns (see http://www.tradewatch.org/ ). Civil society is now engaged in a tremendous struggle against these deadly institutions which value money over life. Opposition to the M.A.I., World Bank, the W.T.O. has grown and had some dramatic victories, but the struggle continues.(

Extractions: ss("#990000") Defending the Current Monetary System Jack Carr[ ABSTRACT If there is to be a common North American currency, then the only realistic option woud be for Canada to adopt the United States currency, because the US will never give up its dollar. Canada would have little to gain from having the US conduct our monetary policy. Advocates of a common currency exaggerate the transactions costs associated with the current regime. Nor can the floating dollar be blamed for the fact that Canada has lower productivity than the US. The current monetary system is serving Canada well. It has provided Canada with stable and low inflation rates. It has allowed for smoother adjustments to a number of real shocks. if there were to be a common currency in North America, there are only two possibilities: either Canada and the United States (and possibly Mexico) create a new North American Currency (like the Europeans created the Euro) or Canada (and Mexico) adopt the US dollar as its national currency. I believe that the only option that has any chance of being adopted is the second option. It is very costly to set up a new currency. All prices and bookkeeping records have to be converted to the new currency. The US dollar is a strong international currency with a well established "brand name." International investors have faith in the US dollar. The US government will never give up the US dollar for some new North American currency. If there is to be a common North American currency, then the only realistic option is for Canada to adopt the US currency. This paper considers the monetary arrangement where Canada adopts the US dollar.

W e are developing a system that will move your money globally at the speed of light to the highest bidder on a daily basis eventually as frequent as every minute. Whoever will pay the most to borrow your money will have it whoever will charge the least to hold your debt will own it. Not just a single entity but multiple entities may borrow or loan a single block of your economic units using block partitioning algorithms. We have in development Intelligent Digital Agents (IDAs) that will replace the current activities of the banker, financial analyst, money manager, loan officer, and teller. System security, validation, authentication and coordination of Monetary Unit (MU) holdings are provided by Certificate Authorities. Risk assessment managers certify and evaluate entities providing profiles and ratings for individuals and companies. What we know now as mutual fund managers, stock brokers, and financial analysts will manage, train and transfer their intelligence and knowledge to the IDAs. Secondary to this is each economic participant defining his or her preferences and adding still more intelligence to the IDA.

Extractions: The Tangible Standard © 2000 Intelegen Inc. Past = gold standard Present = fiat money with inflation and insecurity Currently currency is back by a promise, a promise that can be broken. This promise backed currency can be inflated and deflated it is not a secure. The new tangible standard replaces fiat money and provides a cost efficient participant supported infrastructure. Never before possible, the growth and advancement of computer technology has made the new system a reality. Trillions upon trillions of transaction can be tracked and initiated at almost zero cost at the speed of light. What is it? Monetary units backed by tangible assets like land, buildings, stocks, bonds, commodities, energy, water and even pizza. The system is set to launch in the year 2000 using the global Internet, client and ISP computers and servers. (Read about intermestic currency). Would you rather have a monetary unit backed by a promise or that 10-acre parcel of land down the street? What becomes of the dollar? The new "gestalt" dollar is based on energy. Energy expended to initiate property transfer (based on the new internally developed property transfer physics, which replaces conventional particle physics), create boundaries, new forms and acquire raw materials. What about interest? Interest as we know it in the new system is a different form and is not attached to the creation of new monetary units. Instead thousands may loan directly to borrowers in return for dividends. But it is not a loan, as you now know it, it is actually a contribution of energy and or raw materials to produce a finished product. The combined efficiencies decrease the energy required to produce a product or service below the actual value (the amount of energy another entity will in general contribute in some form to acquire the product or service). This difference is the energy multiplier and is the newly created wealth. Risk is minimized by the ability of those that contribute energy to obtain records of prior performance of an each individual entity and the entities combined as gestalt entity. It further minimized by the ability to monitor in real time the expenditure of "contributed" energy and actual production of finished goods or services.

http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/neer/neer1999/neer699a.htm

Extractions: When the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston chose "Rethinking the International Monetary System" as the topic for its 43rd Economic Conference, it was clear that the worst international financial crisis in decades had caused tremors within the economics profession and the policymaking establishment. The miracle countries of Asia had suffered sharp currency devaluation and deep economic downturns, the turmoil had spilled over into Russia and Latin America, and a severe liquidity crisis had briefly threatened banking systems in the advanced countries. Not surprisingly, then, the events of the 1990s provoked many proposals for reform. But these proposals reflected differing, even contradictory views about the underlying problems and their solutions, and they did not always reveal a systemic approach to reform. In hopes of clarifying some of these issues, the Bank asked conference participants to examine key parts of current international arrangements: the eclectic exchange rate system, international capital markets, the international lender of last resort, and policy coordination. We also asked them to consider how these critical components interact. We hoped that adopting a systemic approach would help to narrow the differences among economic policymakers and identify priorities for reform. Our ultimate goal was to define ways to enhance the benefits of global integration, while limiting its costs. This article summarizes the participants' answers to our questions.

Website Review for EH.NET by Lawrence H. Officer, Department of Economics, University of Illinois at Chicago. The rise of the Internet and the ease of producing websites within it have given self publishing tremendous facility compared to old-fashioned "private printing." Traditionally some important scholarly works have been privately printed; a good example in economic history is various publications of Thomas Senior Berry, especially regarding U.S. national income. What the Internet has done is to enable individuals (and groups) to disseminate information and commentary both more cheaply and wider than ever before in human history. Also, unlike "hard" publications, there are no limits (lower or upper) on size, and the distinction of pamphlet versus book as well as single-volume versus multiple-volume work vanishes. Further, there is ease in revising and updating websites, quite different from the traditional "later editions" of "hard" books the latter is low in frequency and inherently a discrete process; the former can be almost continuous. A scholarly website, such as EH.NET, provides assurance that the information contained within has been subject to some peer review, always by the appropriate editor, sometimes also by scholars that are independent of the author. This procedure enhances the usability of the content of EH.NET. Unfortunately, there is no systematic evaluation of the material in private websites. Yet some such websites could provide valuable material for the scholar, in particular, the economic historian. This review outlines and evaluates one such website. As a website can be a dynamic document, this review applies strictly to the site as of mid-November 2003.
