Hi,
In seinem Buch "The End of Money" widmet J. Rickards diesem Thema auch ein
Kapitel. Das heißt zumindest, dass es Kräfte gibt, die ein Interesse
daran haben.
Für mich war neu, dass Strauß-Khan einen hochdekorierten chinesischen
Banker als Mitarbeiter gewinnen konnte. Ich zitiere hier aus einem eigenen
Post an anderer Stelle im Gelben:
"Was mir jedoch bisher nicht bekannt war, ist dass die "graue Eminenz" des
IMF ein Chinese aus China ist. Offensichtlich hochintelligent, sehr
erfahren und mit sehr eigenen Plänen und Vorstellungen über zukünftige
Abläufe. Name: Dr. Min Zhu. Eine hochinteressante Person..."
Seine Expertise soll ihn zu einem hochgeschätzen Vortragsredner in Ost
und West gemacht haben.

Zu den chinesischen Vorstellungen zur Reform des int. Währungssystems:
Reform the International Monetary System
Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor of the People’s Bank of China, 23 March 2009

Zitat daraus:
"When a national currency is used in pricing primary commodities, trade settlements and is adopted as a reserve currency globally, efforts of the monetary authority issuing such a currency to address its economic imbalances by adjusting exchange rate would be made in vain, as its currency serves as a benchmark for many other currencies. While benefiting from a widely accepted reserve currency, the globalization also suffers from the flaws of such asystem. The frequency and increasing intensity of financial crises following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system suggests the costs of such a system to the world may have exceeded its benefits. The price is becoming increasingly higher, not only for the users, but also for the issuers of the reserve currencies. Although crisis may not necessarily be an intended result of the issuing authorities, it is an inevitable outcome of the institutional flaws.
The desirable goal of reforming the international monetary system, therefore, is to create an international reserve currency that is disconnected from individual nations and is able to remain stable in the long run, thus removing the inherent deficiencies caused by using credit-based national currencies.
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 “Bancorâ€, 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."
Hintergrund - wie die USA 1944 in Bretton Woods den Keynes-Plan in einer Nacht- und-Nebel-Aktion kippten und das Dollarsystem installierten - samt Details des von den Chinesen favorisierten Keynes-Plans - bei Massimo Amato und Luca Fantacci:
Back to which Bretton Woods? Liquidity and clearing as alternative principles for reforming international finance.
