Currency
|
Basic observation
Currency, or money is a store of value and a medium of exchange.
|
Prevailing response
Currency may be a medium of exchange, but it is a very poor store of value. Even the “best” currencies have lost relative to tangible assets over the past years, and, if anything it is getting worse.
|
A better response
Currency needs to be integrated much better into the metrics of relief and development, and the behavior of currency taken into consideration in the analysis of socio-economic progress. The risk associated with exchange rate changes needs also to be integrated into RDS analysis.

The end of the Keynesian era
With Russia-like tax reforms and world gold standard system, the post-Keynesian era will be a time of great prosperity.
