the "dollar standard" is still intact, although perhaps this is the first time we've seen the dollar being challenged. i sure hope it holds up--i don't want to pay higher mortgages for one--and also i sure don't want to see the world economy all messed up.
after all, there's nothing that can replace the dollar. euro is the closest alternative, but it's not anywhere close to being as universal as the dollar and it's got its own set of problems. i'm not saying that the dollar can be the world's currency forever, but going out in this fashion probably isn't what people had in mind. certainly not when many of the future big economies, such as china, aren't ready for it yet.
is the dollar standard really gonna go away this quickly? again, i hope not.
i'm not sure what steven787 is talking about. you could be misinformed, but maybe i just misunderstood what you're saying. anyway.
