Global Currency, Tipping The Balance Of Power
By Evan Meister
One nation's entire prosperity is built on the losses of other nations. One person's loss is another person's gain I guess one might say. This seems to form the natural balance of what nations and groups must go through in order to survive and thrive, but even in the end those very groups end up dead. Europe in the 16th century became the strongest and most Influential power for her time and in the process of that killed hundreds of millions of people, spreader through out the world, launched an age for the entire world of comatosely expanding resources, influences, and tipped the ideals of power. This appears to be of what most of the world has become today, survival of the fittest. It has become the idea of Global Capitalism versus the idea of Might. Two thousand years ago the idea of might would have won easily. Now the Idea of Global Capitalism seems to have taken the place of the idea of Might. If a nation doesn't have a currency, it's not worth having around. No nations any more don't use currency. Their is not one populated area on this freakin' planet that hasn't been claimed by another nation. There is practically not one third-world nation that hasn't gone to desperate lengths to catch up with the rest of the world. If do you go down to any third-world nation you'll see a huge differences between their idea of average "living" and of the average "first-world" standard of living. These are the key aspects that have become many nations' burdens. Now, we don't use chains of steel, coz' we don't need chains of steel anymore. We now use chains of paper, of debts, which has become the worlds driving force. We like to think of money as food, as something we can use to exchange with each other for all the basic commodities to survive and use what extra is left over for whatever we want. But that is no longer the case anymore. To a community, money is food, luxury, and service, but to the world, money is power, built on the ideals of capitalism. Countries like China and Indonesia, leaders felt they were far behind in the world so they felt in order to catch up they needed capital from the stronger nations like Japan and the US of A. They got their investments and the ruler's lifestyle went up and the country began expanding in the world but even though they caught up with the world they lost some of their freedom in the world. Those nations have become slaves to the idea of currency. They've become imperialists, you see. Nations that are trying to become stronger then their neighbors, no matter what the cost, thus creating a cycle of where each of their neighbors go to desperate lengths to become stronger then their other neighbors out of a sense of paranoia. This is what we're doing to nations around the world through the ideals of money. You may say what you like about what I am about to write but this is what I believe. The point of money is taxation. Even though it does appear that it is good to have money, one might argue, for such a thing as taxation so their can be order and so every one can work and trade mutually together, you do sacrifice something else for money, one's freedom. We keep on expanding faster and faster in the world we keep on seemingly losing more and more sight of why we even kept on going on in the first place. Native Americans probably didn't have as many mental breakdowns per capita as modern America does now. The problem is though we wiped most of them out, and now we even treat them very low, economically. We work, on average, 75 hours a week, by the time we're 21, and for what, for food and luxuries, for a family. First-world nations keep on inflating the market with newer ideas of expanding the economy at a steady pace of lowering unemployment, as corporations take all the industrial jobs and low-grading jobs and give them to some desperate third-world person that's willing to work. It would probably cost more to maintain a worker in America for One year, then to maintain a worker in China for 20 years. This cycle may be working now but won't be working forever. 15 years ago nations like France and Turkey had their all levels of their economy's expanding and now it is estimated that unemployment is as high as 10% in those nations. If it weren't for the net we'd probably all be in a depression. This is what the gruesome cycle is. But if it however weren't for organizations like the WTO, people in China wouldn't have the jobs they have now. This would open up China to conflicts with other nations, like what Europe did to the world. If the balance of power is tipped, then the ideals of capitalism will be replaced with the ideals of might all over again, and everyone will probably just start over again. There just aren't enough opportunities for the whole world to share equally together. That's the problem; you can't save the whole world. What might seem fair to you may not seem fair to another person. When the cycle's complete everyone loses. After so many years and generations of scrounging around for whatever we can find, we may finally be reached the age so many people have been prophesizing about, the age of where we run out of room to expand and breath. And the results will be very disastrous in the end.
