Im Bretton - Woods - System wurde der US-Dollar an Gold gekoppelt, die USA boten sich als Sicherheitsanker auch im Kontext eines #NATO - Verteidigungsfalles an.

Nach dem Jom-Kippur-Krieg & schon damaligen Ölpreisschock (auch für Deutschland) wurde der USD vom Gold entkoppelt & an den Fossilhandel gebunden (Petrodollar). Signal war & ist: Brennstoffe werden nur in Dollar gehandelt, wir garantieren.

Für fossile Oligarchen rund um Trump & Putin sind daher sinkende Ölpreise ein wirtschaftlich wie auch politisch riesiges Problem.

Swiss watchmakers 🤦‍♂️ watched in horror as their über-expensive tickers got KO'd by Japan's quartz juggernaut. Turns out, clinging to mechanical watches while your competitors zoom past you with tech advancements isn't a winning strategy. Meanwhile, Bretton Woods was just the cherry 🍒 on top of their ticking time bomb. Complete shocker, right? 😱

Susan George, a grande dama do altermundismo

Grande pensadora do movimento antiglobalização morreu aos 91. Sua obra mostrou como o comércio, a dívida e os “investimentos” são usados para produzir a fome global. Um de seus últimos livros, ficcional, é saboroso: nove rentistas debatem o futuro do capitalismo

Så hur ska vi kunna bygga en mer demokratisk ekonomisk världsordning – ett slags Bretton Woods 2.0? Det system som råder idag har kallats för en monetär terrorbalans. Särskilt har de två största ekonomierna – USA och Kina – ägnat sig åt att göra den egna valutan svag för att befrämja exportindustri.

Historians’ rankings of America’s best and worst foreign-policy decisions show the U.S. succeeded when it led cooperatively through multilateral institutions and failed when it turned inward or went rogue. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/02/world/best-and-worst-us-foreign-policy-decisions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #marshallplan #nato #un #brettonwoods #worldbank #imf #gatt #wto #treatyofversailles #parisagreement #monroedoctrine #donroedoctrine #iraqinvasion #donaldtrump

America was at its best whenever it was open to the world and engaged with it, and at its worst when it became closed.

Without U.S. leadership, the G7 is adrift. Japan and other middle powers should look to the OECD for direction. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/23/japan/after-davos-middle-powers-matter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #markcarney #canada #g7 #worldeconomicforum #davos #switzerland #us #donaldtrump #shinzoabe #fumiokishida #china #brettonwoods #imf #worldbank #wto #oecd

After Davos, middle powers matter more than ever

Japan is well placed to act as a custodian of cooperation among countries that still depend on functioning markets but can no longer rely on a single guarantor.

Vor ein paar Jahren las ich den "eigentlichen" Grund für das New York-Lager aus #Bundesbank-Perspektive:
Das #Gold sicherte die Export-Garantien und Fremdwährungs-Einnahmen "Deutschlands".
Das stammte noch aus der Zeit vor #BrettonWoods und der Fiat-Ära ab #Nixon.

Es war schlicht nicht sinnvoll, diese Barren - ständig! - über den Nord-Atlantik hin und her zu transportieren.
