raise the yuan raise the yuan well uncle can't make that happen but he can lower the dollar i just sent this as a personal E mail to blogger b*** "the gracious " we'll see if he replies : why can't i shake the impression no one wants to look this square in the eye the yuan doesn't need raising the dollar needs lowering in fact there's a systematic tilt in the whole damn global exchange rate set up built to jet stream fdi from the first world to the ex third world this deeper warpage its not among first world currencies despite their jockeying its between all first world currencies on the one hand and all third world currencies on the other what ever the history of how we got here right now its plain truth the yen the euro the pound etc etc as well as the dollar may waltz around each other but theres a lower realm a currency dungeon out there where all the thirds live okay so some fly up from hell the won the yen etc next in line the yuan but the two very seperate currency domains will still remain and the mechanics of relative comp advantage can't operate without system wide automatic monetary levelers now from jump street forgetting scale and ip effects modern credit systems alone make the simplistics of this impossible but reality however more complex can be improved by a long run win win by a concerted first world CB effort to lower ALL their first world currencies to the level of the third emergers in my estimation this is the only possible way to rectify our 30 year bloody and hideous first world wage squeeze without the global disaster of protectionism to wait on a system that takes one currency at a time and promotes it over say 15 years to first tier exchange rate status (locus classicus the yen ) seems well beyond humane endurance we need a systemic shift or there will be nasty waves of protectionism in the first world what say u swami b***Posted by lady eve at October 27, 2005 08:06 AM
