“A mathematician friend once told me that if all of the dimensions in the universe suddenly and simultaneously increased by a factor of 2, we would never know the difference – we would never know that this increase had occurred. This is essentially what the central banks have been able to accomplish globally. Monetary manipulation has been unilateral – thus the dollar looks like it has been standing still (maintaining its value). It is a matter of relativity and manipulation to maintain a specific relationship. Perhaps most of the geopolitics in the world can be explained in terms of reserve currency.”
– Paul Craig Roberts from The Rational Market Myth
