SINGLE GLOBAL CURRENCY

A single global currency would eliminate many problems, such as transaction costs, trade imbalances, currency crises, and speculation. Interested listeners will be fascinated by the historical and cultural background that supports the author's arguments. The language is clear enough for such an esoteric subject, and Christopher Price gives an adequate reading. He enunciates slowly and clearly, and does not get excited about any part of the content. The author is president of a group promoting a single global currency, so there is a lot of energy in the writing, if not in the reading. The topic has an intellectual consistency and a moral foundation that comes across as admirable. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
