... with which they were placed, at the same time as the dominant private interest would take the loans out of the dangerous political field and assure that they were made on business principles and with adequate guarantees. But any machinery that is set up will be of secon dary importance for world recovery compared with ideological reforms. Each nation should abandon the fallacious idea that it is to its own advantage to inflate or devaluate, or that it gains when it erects huge tariff barriers or subsidizes exports or blocks its currency, or when it forbids its own citizens to export gold, capital, or credit. Each nation should abandon the fallacious idea, in short, that it gains when it makes economic war on its neighbor. 50 ... form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without permission in writing from the publisher, except by a reviewer who may quote brief passages in a review.

Since January, 1981, the basket has been composed of the currencies of the five members with the largest ex ports of goods and services. The currencies and their weights in the basket are the U. S. dollar (42 per cent), the deutsche mark (19 per cent), and the yen, French franc, and pound sterling (13 per cent each). The SDR serves as the official unit of account in keeping the books of the IMF. It is designed, in the words of the Fund, to "eventually become the prin cipal asset of the international monetary system." But it is worth noting a few things about it. Its value changes every day in relation to the dollar and every other national currency. (For example, on August 25, 1982, the SDR was valued at $1,099 and six days later at $1,083.) More importantly, the SDR, composed of a basket of paper currencies, is itself a paper unit governed by a weighted average of infla tion in five countries and steadily depreciating in purchasing power. A number of countries have pegged their currencies to the SDR—i.e., to a falling peg. Yet the IMF boasts that it is still its policy "to reduce gradually the monetary role of gold," and proudly points out that from 1975 to 1980 it sold 50 million ounces of gold a third of its 1975 holdings. The U.S. Treasury Depart ment can make a similar boast. What neither the Fund nor the American Treasury bother to point out is that this gold has an enormously higher value to day than at the time the sales were made. The profit has gone to world speculators and other private persons. The American and, in part, the foreign tax payer has lost again. To resume the history of the Bretton Woods agreements and the IMF: Because the Fund was 16 ...
