The Incoming Revolution in the World Banking and Financial System
Manifold and ongoing developments seem to hint that humanity is just ahead of historic shifts in global banking as well as the financial system. The landmark changes at this moment are unavoidable. The ultra-loose monetary policies practiced by the leading central banks in recent years for a record-breaking period have not resulted in a permanent enhancement of the global economic situation but barely extended the inevitable agony of the current global financial system for additional several years. The COVID-19 pandemic and resultant global economic crisis only made things worse. These simple facts beg the following questions: what future global financial system would probably look like? What currency is going to substitute the role hitherto fulfilled by the crumbling U.S. dollar? How painful the upcoming giant changes will be for societies? What the incoming revolution in geo-economics will mean for geopolitics? Unfortunately, financial boom and bust cycles are not the thing of the past but rather seem to be inextricably linked to the way the modern financial system works. This decisively needs to be reformed. The harbingers of epochal changes are on the horizon. The author will describe them in the paper.
