But there would be costs as well, e.g., inflexibility in dealing with regional economic downturns. Also, it is not clear who or what would be the world central bank (IMF?). In a word, it would be a little difficult for me to become a single currency advocate, although of course I remain open to debate as to whether the benefits of this would at some point outweigh the costs. Whatever the outcome of that debate, it is pretty clear that world politics does not at this time run in the direction of granting more power to supranational organizations, as would be necessary for a single currency to be functional."
